Guitarra y Vos

Long live science
Long live poetry
I feel alive my tongue
When your tongue is on mine

The water is in the mud
The mud in the brick
The brick is in the wall
And on the wall, your photograph

It's true that there's no art without emotion
And there's no precision without craftsmanship
Just as there are no guitars without technology

Nylon technology for the trebles
Metal technology for the tuning peg
The press, the chisel, and the varnish
The tools of the carpenter

The singer-songwriter and his computer
The shepherd and his razor
The alarm clock, already announcing the dawn
And in the telescope, the last star lingers

The machine is made by man
And it's what man does with it

The plow, the wheel, the mill
The table where I place the glass of wine
The curves of the roller coaster
The sixteenth note and even the thirty-second note

The tea, the computers, and the mirrors
The glasses to see up close and far away
The dog's bed, the butter
The herb, the mate, and the straw

You are with me
We are singing in the shade of our vine
A song that says
That one only keeps what doesn't tie

And without having you
I have you
And I have my guitar

There are so many things
I only need two
My guitar and you
My guitar and you

There are cinemas, trains, pots
There are formulas even to describe the spiral of a seashell
There's more
There's traffic, credits, clauses, VIP rooms

There are hypnotic capsules and computerized tomographies
There are conditions for the establishment of a limited company
There are baby bottles, shells, taboos, kisses
There's hunger, there's overweight

There are sleep cures and herbal teas
There are designer drugs
And dogs addicted to drugs at customs

There are hands capable of making tools
With which machines are made to make computers
That, in turn, design machines that make tools
To be used by the hand

There are infinite words written
Zen
Gol
Bang
Rap
God
End

There are so many things
I only need two
My guitar and you
My guitar and you

There are so many things
I only need two
My guitar and you
My guitar and you

There are so many things
I only need two
My guitar and you
My guitar and you

There are so many things
I only need two
My guitar and you
My guitar and you
