La verdad de las grullas
Luis Alberto Spinetta
The Truth of the Cranes
If I ask the world to stop and take me,
I take a sound from the air and let it fall...
And if hope runs out in the end,
when the river returns, it will gather us with its hands...
That's why we're all looking at each other,
in a moment, so to speak...
I have a reason to think about God and myself,
however, the sky crosses and doesn't let itself be known...
Something that left, without completely disappearing...
Something that is a glimmer that comes to take us...
That's why we're all searching for each other,
it's impossible just with thirst...
That's why we're all searching for each other,
it's impossible just with thirst...
I wait for you like this, in the strongest light,
between the leaves or in the air,
in the lagoon, without the king appearing...
They're not here anymore, like yesterday,
the things we lost...
Everything was left behind upon waking up,
blue forest of darkness.
Nothing is impossible without your love.
It's the organization of the jungle embedded between the cities,
advancing until death...
That's why we're all drifting apart,
in a moment, so to speak...
I wait for you like this, in the strongest light,
between the leaves or in the air,
in the lagoon, without the king appearing...
Your disillusionment was born one summer night...
and all that breaks at once upon waking up.
Blue forest of darkness.
Nothing is impossible without your love.
There's a truth that the cranes say,
do not venture beyond the deadly valley,
they say that human beings gather there to capture each other...
and do all kinds of harm...
That's why we're all looking at each other...
in a moment, so to speak,
That's why we're all looking at each other...
it's impossible just with thirst...
