Hay
Pablo Milanés
Hay
There's a river that waits for my rest,
there's a sky that waits for my song,
there's a book that waits for my joy,
so many things I don't know how to start.
There's a town that waits in silence,
there's a body I want to undress,
there's a distant, lying friend,
they're my loves that make me think.
There's a laugh at the end of every cry,
a light for every sickness,
a heart that rejects the breaks,
they're the spells my youth gives me.
A space at the end of the cemetery
will erase your vanity at once
what other life will come if it's a mystery
it's those doubts that keep me awake.
There's a river that waits for my rest,
there's a sky that waits for my song,
there's a book that waits for my joy,
so many things I prefer to finish.
