Soledades
José Luis Perales
Solitudes
I sang to the earth and to the men of the sea
And to love, and to the old man who is leaving
I sang to my people and to others'
I sang to freedom
And you
You didn't hear anything of what I sang
Nor did you understand anything of what I wrote
But as time taught me to forget
I will sing for you.
I will tell you that I had to suffer
To live singing my truth
I will tell you that some dawn
Caught me crying loneliness
Where will you be, friend that I dreamed of
Who will tell you the years I lost
Watching time pass on the clock
To steal a song from the world.
I sang to the poet, I sang to the poor laborer
And to pain, I sang to Christmas
I sang to the friend, I sang to the flower
I sang to the sunlight
And you
You didn't hear anything of what I sang
Nor did you understand anything of what I wrote
But as time taught me to forget
I will sing for you.
I will tell you that I had to suffer
To live singing my truth
I will tell you that some dawn
Caught me crying loneliness
Where will you be, friend that I dreamed of
Who will tell you the years I lost
Watching time pass on the clock
To steal a song from the world.
I will tell you that I had to suffer
To live singing my truth
I will tell you that some dawn
Caught me crying loneliness
Where will you be, friend that I dreamed of
Who will tell you the years I lost
Watching time pass on the clock
To steal a song from the world.
I will tell you that I had to suffer
To live singing my truth
I will tell you that some dawn...
