Confianzas

(Confidences)

Sit down in the table and write
"With this poem you won't take the power", it says
"With these verses you won't do any revolution", it says
"Nor with thousands of verses you won't do any revolution", it says

And furthermore
These verses won't be worth for workers
Teachers and lumberjacks to live better
Eat it or he himself will eat it, live better
Nor to date a woman it won't be worth

You won't earn money with them
You won't go to the movies for free with them
They won't give you clothes for them
You won't get tobacco or wine for them

Nor parrots, nor scarves, nor boats
Nor bulls, nor umbrellas you won't get for them
If it were for them, rain would soak you up
You won't reach the forgiveness or grace for them

"With this poem you won't take the power", it says
"With these verses you won't do any revolution", it says
"Nor with thousands of verses you won't do any revolution", it says
Sit down in the table and write

La cruz del sur

The Cross Of South

Sometime, maybe
We'll try again
To discover again the song of the land
Maybe the cross of south

You can synchronize
The green light of life beat

The cross of south
The cross of south
The cross of south

From the airplane that goes
There are fishes in the sea
And you wanted to be by my side
Come and tell me

How simple is the truth
In the love where the answers are hidden

The cross of south
The cross of south
The cross of south

Sola

(Lonely)

Today
A blue sky
Has lit up
The road

Winds
Of illusion
That have caressed
My entire life
Maybe you still want me

Lonely with my loneliness
I realize it's much better
To write and to meditate
Than carrying the cross of frustration

To kill the pain
I had once to accept that
Nobody has the same color
Nobody can break into my dreams

You
Finally show
Your cruel laughter
And your lie

I
I want you the same
Forgive you
Change the look
And then I understood

Lonely with my loneliness
I realize it's much better
To write and to meditate
Than carrying the cross of frustration

To kill the pain
I had once to accept that
Nobody has the same color
Nobody can break into my dreams

Osim ove tri pesme, moji favoriti su i:

Diferente

En el mundo habrá un lugar
Para cada despertar
Un jardín de pan y de poesía

Porque puestos a soñar
Fácil es imaginar
Esta humanidad en harmonía

Vibra mi mente al pensar
En la posibilidad
De encontrar un rumbo diferente

Para abrir de par en par
Los cuadernos del amor
Del gauchaje y de toda la gente

Qué bueno che
Qué lindo es
Reírnos como hermanos
Porqué esperar para cambiar
De murga y de compás

I return to the south

( Astor piazzolla / fernando e. Solanas )

I return to the south
Like one always returns to the love
I return to you
With my desire, with my fear

I bear the south
Like a fate of the heart
I am from the south
Like the airs from the bandoneon

I dream the south
Huge moon, sky the other way around
I look for the south
The open time, and its after

I want the south
Its good people, its dignity
I feel the south
Like your body in the privacy

I want you south
I want you south
I want you south
I want you south

A Brutal Music

We discovered you and me
In the sad carnival
A brutal music
Melodies of pain

We got up you and me
And in the slow distraction
A brutal music
Turned on our passion

Give me your hot
Drink my love

Age

If it vanished
It will appear in me
They believed that it died
But it will be reborn

It rained, it stopped, it rained
And a boy guessed
We heard a voice, and upon a tango
White handkerchief gossip

Those ages were not good
Those airs were bad
It was twenty five years ago
And you existed, without existing yet

Those ages were not good
Those airs were bad
It was twenty five years ago
And you existed, without existing yet

If it vanished
It will appear in me
They believed that it died
And here we born
Here the life is reborn

Those ages were not good
Those airs were bad
It was twenty five years ago
And you existed

Those ages were not good
Those airs were bad
It was twenty five years ago
And you existed, without existing yet

We want peace

We want peace
We want to build a better life for our people
Independent...
We want peace
We want to build a better life for our people
