No te salves

No te quedes inmóvil al borde del camino
no congeles el júbilo
no quieras con desgana
no te salves ahora
ni nunca.

No te salves
no te llenes de calma
no reserves del mundo
sólo un rincón tranquilo
no dejes caer lo párpados
pesados como juicios
no te quedes sin labios
no te duermas sin sueño
no te pienses sin sangre
no te juzgues sin tiempo.

Pero si
pese a todo
no puedes evitarlo
y congelas el jubilo
y quieres con desgana
y te salvas ahora
y te llenas de calma
y reservas del mundo
sólo un rincón tranquilo
y dejas caer los párpados
pesados como juicios
y te secas sin labios
y te duermes sin sueño
y te piensas sin sangre
y te juzgas sin tiempo
y te quedas inmóvil
al borde del camino
y te salvas
entonces
no te quedes conmigo.

Someone saved my life tonight

Para Salma: gracias para toda la vida.
When I think of those East End lights, muggy nights
The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
Prima Donna lord you really should have been there
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
And it's one more beer and I don't hear you anymore
We've all gone crazy lately
My friends out there rolling round the basement floor

And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye

I never realised the passing hours of evening showers
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
It's four o'clock in the morning
Damn it listen to me good
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive

And I would have walked head on into the deep end of the river
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
Paying your H.P. demands forever
They're coming in the morning with a truck to take me home
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
So save your strength and run the field you play alone

Northern lights

Por otra parte, hoy el cielo estuvo tan bello al atardecer que creo que hay algo místico en el aire.
Sólo porque se trataba de un atardecer supe que esa maravilla no era una aurora boreal.
Tan encendida, y venía de ese horizonte que mi corazón mira siempre con tanta nostalgia que hoy vio otro motivo para tener esperanza.

Gracias

A Dios por ponerme en un camino maravilloso hacia la luz.
A la niña hermosa y a su corazón puro.
A todo lo que he pasado.
Al Señor, por darme tantas cosas buenas;
mi familia, mis amigos y el amor de todos.

Gracias

If I fell

What if I love you?

I already have chances before.
Could it be that we are ready to make it now?

It's a wonderful thing to feel, the hope.

Can't Find My Way Home / Had To Cry Today by Steve Winwood

Had to cry today
It's already written that today will be one to remember.
The feeling's the same as being outside of the law.

Had to cry today.
Well I saw your sign and I missed you there.

I'm taking the chance to see the wind in your eyes while I listen.
You say you can't reach me but you want everyone to be free.

Can't find my way home
Come down off your throne and leave your body alone.
Somebody must change.
You are the reason I've been waiting so long.
Somebody holds the key.

But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home.

Come down on your own and leave your body alone.
Somebody must change.
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years.
Somebody holds the key.

El amor después del amor...

Hace tiempo que traigo esa canción de Sabina, Contigo. Y creo que eso es lo que siempre quise o, más bien, lo que no quise es lo que tampoco Sabina, a pesar de que siempre fue lo que parecía buscar.
Y ahora tengo miedo de lo que he comenzado a pensar, en un amor en libertad; en ése sin compromisos sociales que aparentemente no ofrece garantías. Sin embargo, si está basado en la libertad, es algo hermoso pensar que esas libertades se pueden unir.
Sólo creo que Dios me dará lo que yo puedo tomar del camino. Y mi corazón desea que esa persona con quien puede haber comprensión profunda y mutua esté en mi camino y yo en el suyo.

Blind Faith...

Between glad and sad

Just a few minutes ago I thought about the subtle graphic and sounding difference between glad and sad. Going further, one can cry out loud because of being glad or being sad. They can be both hysterical states of mind.
I don't write a lot, but think a lot. Sometimes my mind goes too fast and I can't help feeling sad; subtle difference, it would be fine can't helping feeling bad, not sad.
Sad and deep, I'm glad I'm glad I'm glad...
