1.I saw the wings of a beautiful butterfly
2.Without even knowing its name
3.I want to drink up the dunes of the desert
4.Without knowing a single moment of thirst5.
6.Attach those beautiful butterfly wings to me
7.And overtake everything at a gentle speed8.
9.Slowly, slowly, with the lightness of a yawn
10.Going back and forth, again and again11.
12.I saw the wings of a beautiful butterfly
13.Unaware of the ugliness in me
14.It drinks up a thousand oceans
15.Without knowing even the slightest satisfaction16.
17.Oh, beautiful scales of its wings, dye the horizon
18.And overtake everything at an impossible speed19.
20.Fluttering, fluttering in the dappled sunlight
21.Going back and forth, again and again22.
23.The path I walked, my own feet
24.The flowers I touched, my own fingers
25.The morning of the day I die, and all the other days
26.They’re overtaken at a gentle speed27.
28.Slowly, slowly, with the lightness of a yawn
29.Going back and forth, again and again30.
31.Slowly, slowly, into the beyond
32.Cautiously spreading my wings
