Arde La Vida
Raly Barrionuevo
Life Burns
I'm leaving notes on the rocks
Among the soft fabrics along the way
I only keep some, the ones I made mine
The ones that carry my thoughts with them
The rest stays in the hours
In the endless melancholies
Everything is transforming at every moment
Like a sparking fire, life burns
I want to sing words that express worlds
Innocent looks, sunsets
Loneliness, fear, and hopes
Encounters, emotions, or goodbyes
I'm going to join the mother's clamor
Who has lost the light from her womb
Everything influences us and belongs to us
To every living being, a utopia
Happiness, sand, transparent water
How it slips away from us
If we lose the angel that protects us
We'll walk aimlessly, without a path
There's only beauty in the souls
Translucent through our gazes
Everything is transforming at every moment
Like a sparking fire, life burns
