Unicornio

Mi unicornio azul
ayer se me perdió,
pastando lo dejé
y desapareció.
Cualquier información
bien la voy a pagar.
Las flores que dejó
no me han querido hablar.

Mi unicornio azul
ayer se me perdió,
no sé si se me fué,
no se si se extravio,
y yo no tengo más
que un unicornio azul.
Si alguien sabe de él,
le ruego información,
cien mil o un millón
yo pagaré.
Mi unicornio azul
se me ha perdido ayer,
se fue.

Mi unicornio y yo
hicimos amistad,
un poco con amor,
un poco con verdad.
Con su cuerno de añíl
pescaba una canción,
saberla compartir
era su vocación.

Mi unicornio azul
ayer se me perdió,
y puede parecer
acaso una obsesión,
pero no tengo más
que un unicornio azul
y anque tuviera dos
yo solo quiero aquel.

Cualquier información
la pagaré.
Mi unicornio azul
se me ha perdido ayer,
se fue.

(ENGLISH)
My blue unicorn
got lost yesterday.
I left him grazing
and he disappeared.
I’ll pay handsomely
for any information.
The flowers he left behind
won’t, tell me anything.

My blue unicorn.
got lost yesterday.
I don’t know if he ran away
I don’t know if he went astray,
and I only have one
blue unicorn.
If someone knows where he is,
I beg you to tell me.
I’ll pay one hundred thousand
or a million.
My blue unicorn
got lost yesterday.
He’s gone.

My unicorn and I
became friends,
partly out of love,
partly out of truth.

With his indigo horn
he fished for a song.
Knowing how to share it
was his greatest joy.

My blue unicorn
got lost yesterday,
and this might seem
like an obsession,
but I only have one
blue unicorn
and even if I had two
I’d only love that one.
I’ll pay
for any information.
My blue unicorn
got lost yesterday.
He’s gone.

Dedicated to.

book and sword : gratitude and revenge

is the first novel written by Jin Yong. The protagonist is Chan Ka Lok, who is the leader of the Red Flower Society. The book title refers to Ka Lok being famous for being well-versed in culture and martial arts, but also for having to make a difficult ethical decision. My father named me and my brother after him.

The subtitle is from a poem Desiderata
