Tigresa

Tigress
A tigress with black claws and honey-colored eyes
A woman, a beauty that just happened to me
Rubbing her brown golden skin
Against my body
She told me that evil is good and good is cruel
While the fur of this goddess trembles in the atheist wind
She tells me uncertainly everything she's lived through
That she liked politics back in sixty-six
And now she dances in the Frenetic Dancin' Days
She tells me she was an actress and worked in Hair
With some men she was happy, with others she was a woman
That she has a lot of hate in her heart, that she's given a lot of love
And spread a lot of pleasure and a lot of pain
But at the same time she says everything's gonna change
Because she's gonna be what she wanted, creating a place
Where we and nature can happily live in harmony
And the tigress can do more than the lion
The claws of the feline marked my heart
But the silly things she said, no
And I ran to the guitar in a lament
And the morning was born blue
How good it is to be able to play an instrument
