about

from Golden Tree Story's 1st album, "Openings", released 17 June 2010

The lyrics are a poem called "Yo no soy yo" or, "I am not I" by Juan Ramon Jimenez, translated by Robert Bly.

lyrics

Soy este
que va a mi lado sin yo verlo;
que, a veces, voy a ver,
y que, a veces, olvido.
El que calla, sereno, cuando hablo,
el que perdona, dulce, cuando odio,
el que pasea por donde no estoy,
el que quedará en pié cuando yo muera.

I am not I
I am this one
walking beside me
whom I do not see
at times I manage to visit
and at other times I forget
the one who remains
silent when I talk
the one who forgives
sweet when I hate
the one who takes a walk
while I remain indoors
and the one who remains
standing, when I die.
