Dear community #hive and especially the #hiveopenmic week 14,I have the pleasure of presenting this beautiful and difficult song of Silvio, named seagull where it seems that the voice is flying to one side and the guitar to the opposite side but in the midst of that contrast there is a singular beauty I hope you enjoy it, hugs for everything.
Gaviota
Silvio Rodríguez
Corrían los días de fines de guerra
Había un soldado regresando intacto
Intacto del frío mortal de la tierra
Intacto de flores de horror en su cuarto
Elevó los ojos, respiró profundo
La palabra cielo se hizo en su boca
Y como si no hubiera más en el mundo
Por el firmamento pasó una gaviota
Gaviota, gaviota, vals del equilibrio
Cadencia increíble, llamada en el hombro
Gaviota, gaviota, blancura de lirio
Aire y bailarina, gaviota de asombro
¿A dónde te marchas, canción de la brisa
Tan rápida, tan detenida
Disparo en la sien y metralla en la risa
Gaviota que pasa y se lleva la vida
Corrían los días de fines de guerra
Pasó una gaviota volando, volando
Lento, como un tiempo de amor que se cierra
Imperio de ala, de cielo y de cuándo
Gaviota, gaviota, vals del equilibrio
Cadencia increíble, llamada en el hombro
Gaviota, gaviota, blancura de lirio
Aire y bailarina, gaviota de asombro
Corrían los días de fines de guerra
Pasó una gaviota volando
Y el que anduvo intacto rodó por la tierra
Huérfano, desnudo, herido, sangrando
Seagull
Silvio Rodríguez
They were the days of wartime
There was a soldier coming back intact
Intact from the deadly cold of the earth
Intact of horror flowers in his roomHe raised his eyes, took a deep breath
The word heaven was made in his mouth
And as if there were no more in the world
A seagull passed through the firmamentSeagull, seagull, balance waltz
Incredible cadence, call on the shoulder
Seagull, seagull, lily whiteness
Air and dancer, seagull of amazementWhere are you going, song of the breeze
So fast, so stopped
Shot in the sien and shrapnel in laughter
Seagull who passes and takes lifeThey were the days of wartime
He passed a seagull flying, flying
Slow, like a time of love that closes
Empire of wing, sky and whenSeagull, seagull, balance waltz
Incredible cadence, call on the shoulder
Seagull, seagull, lily whiteness
Air and dancer, seagull of amazementThey were the days of wartime
A seagull flew by
And the one who walked intact rolled across the earth
Orphaned, naked, wounded, bleeding
