La Canción de Pablo
Daniel Viglietti
Pablo's Song
Buddy,
They'll come asking for me;
If I've been around, where I am,
If you know where your husband went.
You lift your gaze,
Look, stay silent, you're thinking:
Pablo will walk the earth,
Waving his flag,
A flag of wheat,
Of bread and wine,
Raising it.
Along the way, to the men,
He'll be teaching freedom.
Buddy,
They'll come looking for me here,
My portrait, a letter,
Some sign to find my trail.
You remember my hands, no longer thinking,
You're dreaming:
Pablo left as a sailor
Through a sea of young blood
With his rebellious destiny,
Without bread and wine,
Walking to fight.
His warrior heart
Forgets loneliness in the streets.
Buddy,
They'll come asking again,
If they've seen me, if I write,
If you know where your husband went.
You look them in the eyes,
With tenderness you're thinking:
Pablo is a man who knows
That life is changing,
The comrades are taking him
Walking towards dawn.
And if they put chains on him,
Other arms will go for freedom.
There are many Pablos walking
Singing on the earth
With their flags of wheat,
Of bread and wine, fighting.
There are many Pablos walking
Singing on the earth.
