Recital Al Amigo (Zamba)
Ruben Alberto Benegas
Recital To A Friend (Zamba)
When I come across a friend
From inside the man
My voice comes out
Because a friend is not a tale
It's a feeling
Complete and greater
After so much walking through life
Through broken paths
It tends to haunt me
I shout to a friend
And he gives me his shelter
And his roof and his bread
A friend is not just
A flowery word
For a friend, life
If needed, is unnecessary
For a friend, life, behold
If needed, is unnecessary
When I feel the friend
I raise my wine
In a ritual toast
I drink the blood of Christ
I dress in stars
And start to sing
If ever in life
There's not a friend
To play guitar with
I will gather Moon and mud
Guitar and path
I will invent it
