Chaparrito: The translator gives "pasto de las llamas" as "I graze at the flames."
Have you also used an idiom here?
Meanwhile, I learned a new word: llamas. For which I thank you.
It's sometimes hilarious how "Translation" here works.
I also got, when adding "ser,"
"to be I graze at the flames" "being pasture of the flames"
Only one had your obviously proper usage: "be destroyed by fire." (The Google Translator)
What fun!
The translator gives "pasto de las llamas" as "I graze at the flames."
Funny how that translator can work sometimes! (Try it again and add "ser" to the beginning. 
)
Pasto is grass or stubble. This is an expression I learned some time ago. I don't think it would be classified as an idiom, just an expression. If you look at definition #4 for the word you'll see this usage.
