Mi Musa

I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

I kissed his lips, they were so warm
Like a summer morning in the tropics
What a precious muse I thought
With her, even my prose would be that of a God
My soul an albatross in the celestial dome
Muse come from the east

Tell me, what do you want?
How will I pay for those verses you utter?
She said you owe nothing, just respect me
And do with the verse what you must
Let them fill the walls, the panels
And the channels of the message

There's hunger in the nation, they want to rob you
Poison you, give you cancer
Not pay your pension
Love of my loves, what reason you have
A sunrise at sea
The tingling in the feet and
The tickling when breathing, are you coming?

Who loves you? Who writes to you every day?
Do you prefer your poetry to be sold?
To be the muse of a pop singer? (Agh)
Just thinking about it makes me jealous
Promise me that if you leave me, it will be for something good
For jazz, for rock, for flamenco
Or a music that requires talent

She said I love you
I'll keep your hand
Your pilot and your notebook
I'll keep your sick rap
So old-fashioned
You carry so much anger inside, you are fire
In the limbo of muses, only winter exists

So come here, I want you to warm me up
You're going to write me from top to bottom
Starting from the belly
Forget about the paper, it's just you and me now
Undressing the being
Forget about your skin, show me your soul
I will give it the gift of speech with verses

Show this world that none are
So white or so black
That all are grayish, some fly
Others sing, others cry and crawl
Daughters of some misfortune, how do you know so much?
I asked if you are a muse and not an angel

She said shut up, kiss me
Don't ask again
Let's write this story and
Let it be known, then

Creator of songs
Muse of inspirations
You won't find better
Don't abandon me
Never abandon me
