And who by fire, who by water,
Who in the sunshine, who in the night time,
Who by high ordeal, who by common trial,
Who in your merry merry month of may,
Who by very slow decay,
And who shall I say is calling?
And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate,
Who in these realms of love, who by something blunt,
And who by avalanche, who by powder,
Who for his greed, who for his hunger,
And who shall I say is calling?
And who by brave assent, who by accident,
Who in solitude, who in this mirror,
Who by his ladys command, who by his own hand,
Who in mortal chains, who in power,
And who shall I say is calling?
¿Quien, por el fuego, por el agua,
Por el brillo del sol, por la noche,
Por el más grande de los calvarios, por un juicio común,
Por tu alegre mes de mayo,
Por el lento declive,
Quien, debo decir, está llamando?
¿Y quién, por su único error, por los barbitúricos,
En éstos reinos de amor, por ser honesto,
Por las avalanchas, por el polvo,
Por su gula, por su hambre,
Quien, debo decir, está llamando?
¿Y quien por su rotundo "sí", por acidente,
En solitario, frente a su espejo,
Por orden de su mujer, por su propia decisión,
Encadenado mortalmente, con poder,
Quién, debo decir, está llamando?
