Tic - Tac - Luis Eduardo Aute

El futuro

que será pasado

no dará ni ha dado

cuerda a su reloj

sólo el paso

del incierto «ahora»

nunca se demora

porque ya pasó,

ser no es tiempo

en el infinito

sino sueño y mito

que el azar creó

y ante el reto

que se presente

ese eterno ausente

que al nacer murió.

Cuenta y canta

la cifrada espera

cuenta y canta

tácticas de espera

con su tic-tac, tic-tac

tic-tac, tác-ti-ca…

El presente

es un espejismo

que huye de sí mismo

a contrarreloj,

un instante

que ya fue no ha sido

y que ya se ha ido

cuando ni llegó

un chispazo entre nada y nada

esa encrucijada

que el amor sonó

por capricho

sólo para verse

y reconocerse

entre tú y yo.

Cuenta y canta…

Cuenta y canta…

El futuro

que será pasado

no dará ni ha dado

cuerda a su reloj

sólo el paso

del incierto «ahora»

nunca se demora

porque ya pasó.

The future

what will be past

will not and has not given

wind up your watch

just the step

of the uncertain "now"

never delay

because it already happened,

being is not time

in infinity

but dream and myth

that chance created

and before the challenge

That is present

that eternal absent

that at birth he died.

He counts and sings

the cipher awaits

count and sing

waiting tactics

with its tick-tock, tick-tock

tick-tock, tick-tick…

The present

it is a mirage

fleeing from himself

against the clock,

an instant

that already was has not been

and that is already gone

when he didn't even arrive

a spark between nothing and nothing

that crossroads

that love sounded

because of a whim

just to see each other

and recognize each other

between you and me.

She counts and sings…

Count and sing…

The future

what will be past

will not and has not given

wind up your watch

just the step

of the uncertain "now"

never delay

because it already happened.
