Noche de cuatro lunas y un solo árbol, con una sola sombra y un solo pájaro. Busco en mi carne las huellas de tus labios. El manantial besa al viento sin tocarlo. Llevo el No que me diste, en la palma de la mano, como un limón de cera casi blanco. Noche de cuatro lunas y un solo árbol. En la punta de una aguja está mi amor ¡girando!

Nuit de quatre lunes Et d'un seul arbre, avec une seule ombre et un seul oiseau. Je cherche sur ma chair Les traces de tes lèvres. La source baise le vent sans le toucher. Je porte le Non que tu m'as dit dans la paume de la main, comme un citron en cire presque blanc. Nuit de quatre lunes et d'un seul arbre. À la pointe d'une aiguille est mon amour qui tourne !
