El Pirata
"I do not want a tomb, I do not want a cross, I do not want a wreath neither a tear, it bores me to hear people crying, I do not want any prayers, I just want one thing, I just want to rest in the ocean when I die".
"The lighthouses for the ships will light my nights like candles, the sea buoys will toll like bells, and in the darkness of the night, I'll taste the salty tears of the sea"
I lived my life randomly, then randomly I want to depart, I want to go to other beaches, I want to cuddle in the hammock of the sea, I want to anchor my heart in a far away seaport, and even dead I want to sail.
No, I do not want to be buried, I do not want to be motionless, Oh, what anguish would I feel being in a coffin, More than fear to the sharks, I fear the maggots, I'd love to go to eternity in a sailboat.
My interlocked hands, like two sails, my ship will be my body sailing across the sea, I will not be back, to those seaports where I docked, the ones I can't go back.
I fear death more for what she is, I fear to be motionless, I wish my dreams to be lulled by the sea waves, and I want to die in peace and feel the serenity of death.
As I have lived my life randomly, I want to depart, Randomly I want to go to other beaches, I want to cuddle in the hammock of the sea, I want to anchor my empty heart in a faraway seaport, and even dead I want to sail.
