Entames D’esmenu A Ser
Por Xe M. Sánchez
Deprendí’l significáu
d’una maconada de pallabres.
Deprendí que les pallabres
son preseos y armes
-en tiempu de paz
y cuandu españen les guerres-.
Deprendí que si deprendes
a dicir non,
entames d’esmenu
a ser xente sospechosu.
You Start to Become Suddenly
By Xe M. Sánchez
I learned the meaning
of a lot of words.
I learned that the words
are tools and weapons
-in times of peace
and when the wars explode-.
I learned that if you learn
to say no,
you start suddenly to become
suspicious people.
