A Palo Seco

If you come to ask me where I've been
In the time when you were dreaming
With eyes wide open I'll tell you
Friend, I was in despair
I know that by speaking like this
You think this despair is a trend in '73
I'm a little discontent
Desperately I sing in Portuguese
I'm a little discontent
Desperately I shout in Portuguese

I have 25 years of dreams and blood
And of South America
But by the force of my destiny
An Argentine tango
Suits me much better than the blues
I know that by speaking like this
You think this despair is a trend in '73
I want this crooked song like a knife
To cut your flesh (2x)
