Vivo al día

Living Day by Day
I was born on an early autumn,
up until now I carry the same heart
they say something has changed my face,
I was born in a love chorus
I grew up always drinking clear water
I grew up kicking a ball
my best friend was the pillowcase
sometimes I was cold, other times hot
I was close to routine sex,
I was close to sinning with God,
then I made love in the corners
and now my life is a song
And for a long time now I live day by day
I don't get off at any station
and I don't mind breaking my face
for a look for a heart
and if necessary I risk my life
I risk death which is much better
and I don't mind breaking my face
for a look for a heart
I eat your umbilical cord and I remove the cobwebs
there is no better color than the one that falls from your eyelashes
And for a long time now I live day by day...
I left half of everything on the road,
the potholes taught me to jump,
death will fast from keeping me alive,
the sun stings more when there's a hangover
The skin is fish spilled on land,
I barely left two flowers unpicked,
one of them led me to war,
I won and lost the desire to cry
I eat your umbilical cord and I remove the cobwebs
there is no better taste than your skin in the morning
And for a long time now I live day by day...
I eat your umbilical cord and I remove the cobwebs
there is no better balcony than the lace of your skirt
And for a long time now I live day by day...
