Don Palabras
Maldita Vecindad y los Hijos del 5to. Patio
Mr. Words
Thousands of stories in every neighborhood
On Vieira Street
comes Mr. Words
reciting poetry
come singing and singing
One day Mr. Words
told me a strange story
about how things are born
every time one names them
Time lives in memory
One night I found him
it had rained, I remember well
he approached the cars
when they stopped at the light
Through the window they listened to him speak
with his passionate voice
making an almost forgotten love
an old pain that time did not erase
Thousands of stories in every neighborhood
On Vieira Street
comes Mr. Words
reciting poetry
come singing and singing
Blessed are the poor poets
the kingdom of the soils will be theirs
so began our friend
his walk in the sleepless city
Walking by his side anything can happen
a drowsy gentleman
can be a Don Juan
ready to charm
the blonde girl from the bakery like a princess
From mouth to mouth, dreams travel
On Vieira Street
comes Mr. Words
reciting poetry
come singing and singing
Thousands of stories in every neighborhood
On Vieira Street
comes Mr. Words
reciting poetry
come singing and singing
