Cuando Ya Me Empiece a Quedar Solo
Charly García
When I Start Being Alone
I will have my eyes far away
And a cigarette in my mouth,
The chest inside a hollow
And a half-crazy cat.
An empty stage,
A book dead from sorrow,
A destroyed drawing
And others' charity.
A useless television
Electric company,
The radio at full volume
And a prison that is not mine.
An old age without fears
And a calm life,
Very agitated windows
And an immobile bed.
And a pile of stacked newspapers
And a flower taking care of my past
And a rumor of voices shouting at me
And a million hands applauding me
And your ghost, above all
When I start being alone.
