La Vida Total
Quilapayún
Total Life
Life is a space between two deaths
Death is a silence of love
Love is an orgasm between two tears
The tear is a lake without its song
The song is a mystery of the mouth
The mouth is an abyss before the chest
The chest is another abyss between two bloods
The blood is the engine that fuels the act
The act is a dance against time
And time is what measures the spaces
up to this point listed.
The jungle is the ancestor of the desert
The desert is a body already drained
Drinking doesn’t hide the fire in the mind
The mind is an ancient hourglass
The ancient shapes us like a child
A child is the past of the bodies
The body is a fight that’s lost
It’s lost without returning to the unbelievable
The unbelievable will be what we cannot
And what we cannot will be what we always want.
