Rotolando Verso Sud
Negrita
Rolling South
Every name a man
and every man is just what
he will discover by chasing the distances within himself
How many deviations
which directions and which not?
before remaining in balance for a while
I dream of a soft journey,
inside my spirit
and I go away, I go away,
my life so be it
On a tired wave that pulls me up
as I move south
On a wave that pulls me up
Rolling south
Long way home
Living continent, Disappeared, I'm here
Under an ivory sky
under purple clouds
A thousand fires lit
a thousand stones on the way
While a faint echo from afar
rises up... down here
A cry lasting centuries,
that you can't imagine
And dust of dust...
of immobile history
On a tired wave that pulls me up
as I move south
On a wave that pulls me up
Rolling south
Long way home
Every land a name
and every name a flower inside me
Reason explodes
and everything goes by itself
Sea caress me
Moon intoxicate me
Rio, Santiago, Lima & Holguin,
Buenos Aires, Naples
Rio, Bahia, Santiago & Holguin,
Buenos Aires
On a tired wave that pulls me up
as I move south
On a wave that pulls me up
Rolling south
Long way home
SUN AND BLOOD, SEX AND SOUTH
The dignity of the elements
the freedom of poetry,
beyond the betrayals of men
it's magic, it's magic, it's magic...
