1. In the darkness of the universe there is no light
To guide me on my way,

2. Nor human echoes passing by.
The horizon is gloomy and the stars veiled,

3. The clouds pouring relentlessly.
On a night of the ages, bearing

4. The simple gown of worries and concerns,
I came to life with darkness in my eyes,

5. I came to life with my fate behind me.
Silence hovered above the house coagulated,

6. And in its sides, in semblance of curtains.
As if the house was one of those in shyness

7. Wishing it could hide from all sights.
So the women slumped in their seats

8. And they whispered in doubt and denial.
What's the secret? What's the matter? Were you dead?

9. No, I was nothing but a "girl", those are my secrets.
And did my father's ghost in the house grow anxious,

10. With embers aflame in his feelings?
Until when he bent over me to caress me

11. He saw the truth in fright and denial.
So he raved at whoever kindled the ashes into raging flames

12. And awakened the dead with revealing signs.
"A girl? My God, and I wish for nothing but a boy.

13. O disgrace in my blood! O humiliation and shame!"
And after that night did a new dawn unfold

14. Without prelude or warning?
And I roamed the desert of life a fugitive,

15. With an inflamed, fiery heart that yearned for me.
On my wrists are the eternal shackles of misery,
