lyrics

¿Pero…Se puede olvidar?


¿Pero…Se puede olvidar?
Si ciego
Si sordo
Si sin tacto
Y aun llegaría a mis narinas
Ese aciago hedor a sueños rotos.

Olvidar
Olvidar
Siempre es posible.
Lo de hoy
Lo de ayer…
Pero mañana
Serán las mismas hirientes condiciones
Las que apuren mi ser hasta la lágrima.
Serán los mismos mercaderes de importancia
Vendiendo cachos de guerras reciclables.

Asoman entre los días
Remolones
Con sus costosas sonrisas ortopédicas
Sacuden el alba de armonía
Y la suplantan por miedos y condenas

No somos
No serán
No fuimos antes
ARDE
Arde fuego de VIDA y empuja al horizonte
No olvides una a una las ofensas
Hazte con ellas corazas, o canciones
Y busca el mar
Inmenso mar que bate en tus orillas.

M.A.A.M. 2012


But…can one forget?


But…can one forget?
If blind
If deaf
If numb
And still through my nostrils would enter
That disastrous stench of dreams broken

To forget
To forget
It is always possible
That of today
That of yesterday
But tomorrow
There will be the same wounding conditions
The ones that exhaust my being to tears
There will be the same merchants of importance
Selling portions of recyclable wars

Indolents
Appear amongst the days
With their expensive orthopedic smiles
They shake the dawn of harmony
And replace it with fear and condemnation

We are not
We will not be
We were not before
BURN
Burn fire of LIFE and push towards the horizon
Don’t forget a single offense
Make armour out of them, or songs
And search for the sea
The immense sea that beats against your shores
