Sentirme vivo
Emanuel Ortega
Feeling Alive
Trapped in my room
I don’t turn on the TV
I don’t listen to the news anymore
This way I pretend
That I’m living better
I broke my computer
I left my watch behind
My phone’s turned off
And I’ve disconnected
The answering machine
Sometimes I want to escape
From all this anguish and pain
I want to change this world
You deserve something better
Sometimes I want to get away
Use my imagination
Get lost, who knows where
The sky, the sea, you and me
I want to feel alive again
And get lost like this with you
In your body, your gaze
Give me love, give me hope
I want to feel alive again
And get lost like this with you
In your body, your gaze
Give me love, give me hope
And now that I have you close
I want you to hear my voice
These are the things I carry
That I keep hidden
Here inside me
How to understand what’s happening
How everything changed
Where did that poet go
Who always arrived
At your heart.
