_____
I was born on a June day in '77
_____
Planet Mercury and the year of the snake
_____
A clear sign already tattooed on my forehead
_____
that inside my mother's womb marked the next step
_____
It made me cry without anesthetic on the gurney
_____
My father only said it's Ana María
_____
Yes, it would be the first cry that'd test me
_____
Burning the wounds and giving me the battery
_____
Back then I was like an open book
_____
but I read the fine print of the text
_____
like an architect building every effect
_____
Right, wrong, I know to learn all about it
_____
Knowing that some people want harm
_____
Climbing each rung takes time, takes years
_____
With my teddy watching the everyday
_____
Drawings turned even winter into big summer
_____
Dad gifted me under my insisting
_____
Game, I tried blaming you and resistance
_____
But in the neighborhood they set up the competition
_____
and that's when I felt my first impotence
_____
Everything that changes will make it different
_____
In the year that the snake was born shh
_____
Everything that changes will make it different
_____
In the year that the snake was born shh
_____
My adolescence was a bizarre stage
_____
The body's a drum and the head a guitar
_____
The narronato orchestra, nothing broken for the gaze
_____
Of a girl who only carves swords
_____
Hormone fired up, overpopulated, formless
_____
where seasons shift you walk at crossroads
_____
Each one is their dwelling, the bait was readied
_____
The sacred devil-dance with pissed-off stare
_____
My line, the truth, never looked for its chair
_____
My search was a mere process of pure battery
_____
Pupil of a poet that stamped our saliva
_____
In the mountain range that watched the exit
_____
The military parade of monotonous pace
_____
Triggered my questioning, the voice sounded yes or no
_____
My first rhyme that sounded and I enlisted
_____
My search wasn't for me about stage stuff
_____
It was something needed that already marked my flaw
_____
So everything more than necessary
_____
It was when I understood that everybody wants to be a corsair
_____
Everything that changes will make it different
_____
In the year that the snake was born shh
_____
Everything that changes will make it different
_____
In the year that the snake was born shh
