She rises from the dust... Unlike the flower's stalk which is less than beauty. --- / --- Se levanta del polvo... No como el tallo de la flor que es apenas belleza.

Las horas se adelgazan;
de una salen diez.
Es el trópico,
prodigioso y funesto.
Nadie sabe que hora es...

The hours thin down;
out of one come ten.
These are the tropics,
prodigious and sad.
Nobody knows what time it is...
