Dale Gracias
Luis Alberto Spinetta
Give Thanks
Open your old things
gather your makeup
someone is approaching
close your eyes sit down
give thanks for being
give thanks for being
close to you
On the old furniture
light another cigarette
because this poetry
comes to find you
nothing else
give thanks for being
give thanks for being
close to you
This dream is just another whistle
in the wind
and a warrior never stops
his march
You can find the jungle
among these buildings
you can rent it
or destroy it
and also
give thanks for being
for growing and engendering
close to the good you enjoyed
and also
give thanks to the angel
give thanks for being
close to you
It's useless to try to shine
with your personal history
remember that a warrior never stops
his march.
