Original lyrics
Epitafio sobre ninguna piedra
Mixcoac fue mi pueblo: tres silabas nocturnas,
un antifaz de sombra sobre un rostro solar.
Vino Nuestra Señora, la Tolvanera Madre.
Vino y se lo comió. Yo andaba por el mundo.
Mi casa fueron mis palabras, mi tumba el aire.
- Mixcoac:
Mixcoac is an area of southern Mexico City which used to be a separate town and municipality within the Mexican Federal District until it was made part of Mexico City proper. The name "Mixcoac" comes from the Nahuatl language mixtli (cloud), coatl (serpent), cómo (in), and means "Place of the Cloud Serpent", alluding to the Milky Way and the god Mixcóatl.

Nirgendwo ein Epitaphstein
Mixcoac war meine Stadt: drei nächtliche Silben,
eine Schattenmaske auf einem Sonnengesicht.
Unsere Liebe Frau kam, die Staubwolken-Mutter.
Sie kam und verschlang es; ich durchwanderte die Welt.
Mein Haus waren meine Worte, mein Grab die Luft.
