At the zero meridian in the central zone
_____
Near the limit and far from the end
_____
Between two valleys with the sky clear
_____
Over a field with a starry horizon
_____
There's a small yet immense factory
_____
Of an old sage that survives because he thinks
_____
Master of multiple maneuvers
_____
The old man is the mix of the best of the leftovers
_____
The world exploded and was left deserted and the old man
_____
Inherited the best of everything that had died
_____
He has telescopic vision, turtle skin
_____
Chameleon tongue and caterpillar sense of smell
_____
The old man is the surgeon of time, time, time
_____
In cold blood he operates on every moment
_____
All the minutes that get lost out there
_____
He can recover them with a scalpel
_____
He stretches seconds so that they become longer
_____
He also transplants bitter moments
_____
And if the bitterness continues and nothing consoles him
_____
He applies a bit of anesthesia so that it doesn't hurt
_____
So that it doesn't hurt, so that it doesn't hurt
_____
They become eternal when they're loved
_____
And they always live and never die
_____
When they fall asleep they're defenseless
_____
And they wake up when you think of them
They're attacked and they're defended
_____
The most valuable ones are never sold
They reach everything they desire
_____
That's how big ideas are
_____
They become eternal when they're loved
_____
And they always live and never die
_____
When they fall asleep they're defenseless
_____
And they wake up when you think of them
_____
They're attacked and they're defended
_____
The most valuable ones are never sold
_____
They reach everything they desire
_____
That's how big ideas are
_____
If he wants to give life to a new cycle
_____
Every so often he lays eggs
_____
He doesn't eat much because he's cold-blooded
_____
And he feeds on flies that live only one day
_____
And if there's no food I don't blame him
_____
If he feeds on his own body like octopuses
_____
He wouldn't die even if he ate his entire body
_____
He's like the salamander, he regenerates fast
_____
But to this hermit time does no harm
_____
He's immortal like the saints
_____
His vertebrae are tree, that's why he lasts so long
_____
The wise old man never forgets anything
_____
Because he has his memory frozen
_____
His memories are whole, he preserves them with dry ice
Eighty degrees below zero
_____
They become eternal when they're loved
_____
And they always live and never die
_____
When they fall asleep they're defenseless
_____
And they wake up when you think of them
_____
They're attacked and they're defended
_____
The most valuable ones are never sold
_____
They reach everything they desire
_____
That's how big ideas are
_____
They become eternal when they're loved
_____
And they always live and never die
_____
When they fall asleep they're defenseless
_____
And they wake up when you think of them
They're attacked and they're defended
_____
The most valuable ones are never sold
_____
They reach everything they desire
_____
That's how big ideas are
_____
The repetition of an action
_____
Is the most effective technique for prolongation
_____
That's why he repeats himself even though he's getting bored
_____
He's already been living nine thousand five hundred years
_____
And it's that he no longer faces major problems
_____
From so much repetition he learned from his mistakes
_____
For the old man it's an abyss, living isn't that pretty
_____
When you live the same thing every day
_____
He'd like to be different but repeating himself and controlling time
He already does it by instinct
_____
He tried to kill himself in different ways
_____
But the old man without oxygen breathes anyway
_____
Because the great ideas that are discovered
_____
Always renew his dead cells
_____
They become eternal when they're loved
_____
And they always live and never die
_____
When they fall asleep they're defenseless
_____
And they wake up when you think of them
_____
They're attacked and they're defended
_____
The most valuable ones are never sold
They reach everything they desire
_____
That's how big ideas are
_____
They become eternal when they're loved
_____
And they always live and never die
_____
When they fall asleep they're defenseless
_____
And they wake up when you think of them
_____
They're attacked and they're defended
_____
The most valuable ones are never sold
_____
They reach everything they desire
_____
That's how big ideas are
