I've wrote this song a couple of years back, and for this week entry i started to think what song i can share for this week that can connect with the non-spanish readers/listeners on my blog?
what's that thing that connects us beyond languages in music?
it's not lyrics for sure, as theres a barrier,and might be rythm... but the fundamental sound of the emotion we feel when we decide to communicate each word is what i received as a response after meditating at least for this week, and i've decided to perform El Lugar wich is a song that I enjoy because of the lyrics and it's story, it's a song that i've made in around 20 minutes, but besides the content inside the song in terms of lyric concept, there's an underlying emotion that is having fun between an organic exploration on the guitar, i was fascinated by the chords that the song was asking me to do, it was a moment of great connection with the instrument and the present.
Lyrics
Antes de perder
la guerra a la locura
pase noches en vela describiendo al animal
que vive en mis entrañas
cuando llega la luna
la luna que se observa en mi ventana y tu cristal,
y se te haces la dura,
lo se por tu mirar,
el cuerpo no me pide mas que estar en tu lugar,
y vivo por las vias, tranquilo al caminar,
recuerdo que tu ausencia es el recuerdo de que estas
pululando por ahi, tomandote un café,
y seguro pensandote tambien en el lugar,
el sitio de los sueños, el de la realidad
alli donde tu ausencia es mas tu habla que el andar
Antes de perder
el miedo a la soltura,
pase dias creyendo que vivia en libertad,
tambien creia en fantasmas,
esos que ya no están,
antes eran de carne y hueso y ahora son de cal,
el cielo esta nublado, pero no importa ya
yo llevo mi paraguas aunque no lo vaya a usar,
amo el agua de lluvia, amo tu caminar,
y no hablemos de la mixtura de eso y la ciudad,
esa que nos miraba, de recelo al andar,
en algun lado seguimos de noche en el lugar,
el de las travesuras, el del frio infernal
ese que nos quitamos con tan solo tocar,
el cielo con los dedos,
el agua con la sed,
tus besos con mis labios y tu espalda con mi ser,
cariño, yo no sé, seguro fue tu aroma,
no me preguntes como, donde, el cuando ni el porque,
tenía un par de letras, solo las ordene,
sin saber que entre figuras ibas a aparecer,
tergiversando versos, que te piensan sin querer
y claro que es contigo con quien mas podria ser.
english translation:
Before losing
the war to madness,
I spent sleepless nights describing the beast
that lives inside my gut.
When the moon arrives,
the moon that I see through my window and your glass,
you pretend to be hard,
I know it from your gaze.
My body asks for nothing but to be in the place,
and I walk the streets, calm in my stride,
I remember that your absence is reminder that you are,
wandering around, sipping some coffee,
pretty sure you’re thinking too about the place,
the realm of dreams, the one of reality,
where your absence speaks louder than your steps.
Before losing
the fear of letting go,
I spent days believing I lived in freedom,
I believed in ghosts too,
those who no longer walk,
once they were made of flesh and bone,and now are made of lime,
looks like it's going to rain, it doesn't matter now,
I carry my umbrella, though I won’t pull it out.
I love the rain, I love your walk,
and let’s not talk about the mix of that and the city,
that looked at us, eyeing our steps,
somewhere, we still roam by night in that place,
the one of mischief, the one of winter winds,
the one that we took off only with just a touch,
the sky with our fingers,
the water with our thirst,
your kisses with my lips, and your back with my soul.
Darling, I don’t know, surely it was your scent,
don’t ask me how, where, why, or , when.
I had a couple of verses, I just ordered them,
not knowing that among the shapes you’d appear,
twisting this verses, about you without meaning to,
and of course, it’s with you, who else is going to be?
