The aliens
Charles Bukowski (EEUU, 1920-1994)
you may not believe it
but there are people
who go through life with
very little
friction or
distress.
they dress well, eat
well, sleep well.
they are contented with
their family
life.
they have moments of
grief
but all in all
they are undisturbed and often feel
very good.
and when they die
it is an easy
death, usually in their
sleep.
you may not believe it but such people do
exist.
but I am not one of
them.
oh no, I am not one
of them,
I am not even near
to being
one of them
but they are
there
and I am
here.
Los raros
aunque no lo creas
hay gente
que vive la vida sin
apenas
conflictos y
con muy poca angustia.
visten bien, comen
bien, duermen bien.
están satisfechos de
su vida
familiar.
a veces
se apenan
pero con todo
viven tranquilos
y a menudo se sienten
de fábula.
y cuando se mueren,
se mueren
dulcemente, por lo general mientras
duermen.
aunque no lo
creas
existe gente
así.
pero yo no soy uno de
ellos.
oh, no, no soy uno
de ellos,
disto
mucho de
parecerme
a ellos,
pero ellos están
ahí
y yo estoy
aquí.
