Flores Por Piedad
Don Osvaldo
Flowers Out of Pity
You always go with me until I see you again
I never say goodbye to you
After losing myself so much, one day I found myself
Celebrating having lost
For always reminding me, one day I understood well
That the fault lies with the one who counts, not with forgetfulness
Beating death seems to be running
And consuming oneself having lived it
Going after lights that cast shadows
Full of emptiness, of love and cruelty
A fulfilled dream that wants more
Offer and counteroffer for nothing to offer
The punishment for a king is impunity
And freedom, the prize for the beggar
Everything that goes down is because it can't go up anymore
And cultivating tranquility remains forbidden
Success attracts hatred and failure, pity
So many sticks, so many flowers, they don't end
Success and failure are children of action
And to escape from everything, some choose to do nothing
Going after lights that cast shadows
Full of emptiness, of love and cruelty
A fulfilled dream that wants more
Offer and counteroffer for nothing to offer
Infernal heavens, celestial hells
Earthly paradise, good for evil
Pleasures that never end, empires that don't kill
Wise with prejudices, experts in ignoring
Geniuses in destruction, scholars in chance
Going after lights that cast shadows
Full of emptiness, of love and cruelty
A fulfilled dream that wants more
Offer and counteroffer for nothing to offer
