Any day now I'm going to rise up and I'm going to explode.
La herida existencial, muy a mi pesar, la conciencia animal,
The existential wound, much to my regret, the animal consciousness,
Mi propia destrucción, la contradicción, vieja colisión.
My own destruction, the contradiction, an old collision.
Prosigo mi campaña sin olvidar que es eventual.

Exprimo este talento hasta desangrar a mi comunidad.

Me llevo por delante al personal que aún está por llegar.

Continua evasión de la realidad, transformada en canción,
Continual evasion of reality, transformed into song,
La de un hombre de paja que ahuyentará nuestra argumentación.

The beautiful and the beastly of living creates a great noise when it comes out,
La espina orgullosa al escribir me aprieta la corona, no es así.
The proud thorn when writing tightens the crown, doesn't it?
No es así.
Doesn't it?
No es así.
Doesn't it?

Key Grammar Structures

  • Cualquier día de estos me voy a alzar y voy a reventar.

    ➔ Ir + a + infinitive (future intention)

    "Voy a alzar" and "voy a reventar" express the speaker's intention or prediction about what they are going to do in the near future. This is a very common way to express future actions in Spanish.

  • La herida existencial, muy a mi pesar, la conciencia animal,

    ➔ Adverbial phrase of concession: A pesar de

    "Muy a mi pesar" means "much to my regret" or "despite my regret". The full construction is "A pesar de + [noun/pronoun/clause]".

  • Prosigo mi campaña sin olvidar que es eventual.

    ➔ Subjunctive in noun clauses after verbs expressing doubt/uncertainty (olvidar que)

    ➔ Although "olvidar" doesn't always require the subjunctive, in this case, the speaker is not entirely certain about the eventual nature of their campaign, making the subjunctive mood more appropriate: "que es eventual" instead of "que sea eventual". In many cases with verbs like pensar, creer, recordar and olvidar the indicative mood is used to state certainty, and the subjunctive to state uncertainty or doubt. However, there is significant dialectical and personal variation.

  • Me llevo por delante al personal que aún está por llegar.

    ➔ Estar por + infinitive (something remains to be done)

    "Está por llegar" means "remains to arrive" or "has yet to arrive". It indicates that an action is pending or has not yet occurred.

  • Continua evasión de la realidad, transformada en canción,

    ➔ Past participle used as an adjective (transformada)

    "Transformada" is the past participle of "transformar" and it functions as an adjective modifying "evasión". It describes the evasion as being transformed into a song.

  • Lo bello y lo bestia de vivir produce un gran estruendo al salir

    ➔ Using the article "lo" to nominalize adjectives

    "Lo bello" (the beautiful) and "lo bestia" (the beastly/bestial) are examples of using "lo" to turn adjectives into abstract nouns. This is common in Spanish to refer to general concepts or qualities.
