Libertad

Freedom,
charm of my life.
Without you, the work of the days more than a torment
it's a long death.

Freedom,
solitude, what does it matter?
Words so long and beautiful that the wind dragged this end of the century,
Time of lies.

Freedom,
Kisses and hugs of smoke.
Promises of women, nights of full glasses,
moon with red eyes, bars with empty stools.

Freedom,
you leave a trail of sadness
wherever you go with your name so white
not knowing where it leads you... and where you go.

Chains chase you
Handcuffs, your friends
Words, silence, looks
And you alone, alone and forgotten... and so tiny.

Freedom,
Divine treasure that the poet said,
or the lonely man, which is the same.

Freedom,
Victim of the shipwreck
that is time, life, night lost at sea,
where you can't find the bottom or the shore.

Freedom,
Tomb of all dreams
that you think the sky gives away but must be stolen from hell
to reach this prison of silence and nightmares.

Freedom,
Open door that lets in
happiness, fairy tales, chimeras, golden pledge,
shadow, mirage, nothing.

Chains chase you
Handcuffs, their friends
Words, silence, looks
And you alone, alone and forgotten... and so tiny.

Freedom,
sailing ship that flies,
vagabond of the stars, guitar that finally sounds,
true hope, black rag is my flag.

Freedom,
abandoned old woman, violated woman, child.
Where are you, dreamed song?
Sung by all and written by all.

Freedom,
So many dead in your name
that not even God can count
So many lives lost, but never, never, for being defended.

Freedom,
so many years sought
and now that everything ends
I know that all my life you have traveled by my side, my tiny one.

Chains chase you
Handcuffs, their friends
Words, silence, looks
And you alone, alone and abandoned... and so tiny.

(Alone)

And you will drag the chains,
and the laws, their friends
Words, silence, looks.
And you will continue to be forgotten... and each time, each time, smaller...
