Cada persona tiene un nombre
que le puso Dios
y que se lo dieron su padre y su madre.
Cada persona tiene un nombre
resultado de sus rasgos y su sonrisa
y que le dio su figura.
Cada persona tiene un nombre
que le puso la montaña
y que le dio un hogar.
Cada persona tiene un nombre
derivado del zodíaco
y que se lo dieron los vecinos.
Cada persona tiene un nombre
producto de sus pecados
y que se lo dieron sus ambiciones.
Cada persona tiene un nombre
que se lo pusieron sus enemigos
y se lo dio su amor.
Cada persona tiene un nombre
que se lo dieron sus alegrías
y su profesión.
Cada persona tiene un nombre
fruto de las estaciones del año
y que se lo dio su ceguera.
Cada persona tiene un nombre
que le dio el mar
y que llevó
hasta la muerte.

Every person has a name
given him by his sins, and given him by his longing.
Every person has a name
given him by his enemies and given him by his love.
Every person has a name,
given him by his holidays and given him by his work.
Every person has a name
given him by the seasons of the year and given him by his blindness.
