Amor al Arte
Jorge Drexler
Love for Art
No, we are no more than another creature
Nor anything less than a creature
Letting ourselves be dragged
By the wind of chance
At its whim
We are not in another league
No matter what the Bible says
And we want to believe
We still have
Mouth and belly
And there's nothing wrong
Thinking it's a gift
To be, entirely, just a part
And like the creature on the flower
Learning to live for
Love for art
Charge what you have to charge!
But do it for the love of art!
But don't confuse price with value!
Love for art!
Pencil and paper
Nothing better than giving it
Love for art
Art is not different
From a fish against the current
Or the scent of jasmine
Art is the wild card
Of the seed
And from the seed the creature
Going from the cradle to the niche
By the design of love
Which is the higher force
All said and done
And let's remove the nickname
Of being the owners of everything
Each one waving their own flag
Given the choice, better
I choose to die of love
Love for art
Charge what you have to charge!
But do it for the love of art!
But don't confuse price with value!
Love for art!
Pencil and paper
Nothing better than giving it
Love for art
I go in the dark
Asking for light
With my little cigarette of uncertainty
Always soaked
And under the open sky
Far from the desert of certainty
I put my heart
On your scale
But apparently, it's not enough
