Sobre Los Margenes
SHARIF
On the Margins
Give me a chance
Just one chance
I want to write something simple
I don't need a chorus
I want to write an immortal verse, understandable without language
Clean and pure like the Sun over the landscape
I want a phrase that serves as a passage on this journey
Far from the tick-tock and its blackmail
And I give you a friendship always cheerful
The truth without vanity or password
I only know that the soul never insists
And that the most important thing is what no one teaches you
My whole world is here
Dude, you know we're not giving up
I have candles and wind, soles and breath
And a hungry pen that doesn't know how to lie
So I'm going to keep going
I don't care about stumbling, starting over
I know life is about flowing, if you want to laugh you have to learn to cry
And just tell me where you want to go and I'll take you
Hold onto my pen, I'll lift you up
If in eternity there's always time to start over
If you come with me, I dare
To live simply, my stone in my pocket
My look and my little book, the Moon its shine
Sitting on a curb
I'm toasting with a drink
For the hearts I conquer
And I'm not leaving
My whole world is here
In this piece of paper
The world is kinder when you live without hate
You never know what happens until the next episode
And I'm just what you see
I want to write a song that puts the world at your feet
And rescue you, be able to take you
To tell you again
My life on the margins
No more wars between demons and angels
Today I have more than enough with the air I breathe
Light is a treasure for these sapphire eyes
And I ask for another day, another sigh
Another dance
Another tango dancing with hope
Another line, another lesson
Another song that takes me where the heart can't reach
I just want to dance like the sand and the air
Like the waves and the sea
Never stop spinning in the dance
The music plays
There's noise outside but here the music plays
My song is not a reproach, it's a plea
In those nights when the pen is my republic
I return to the alley of memory
To remember on the dividing line
That enduring the storm is worth it
Betting on your friendship is worth it
Never, never ask for more than what I've given
Always, always forget what was a sin
I've learned that if you're by my side
I may not have fortune but I'm fortunate
My whole world is here
Dude, you know we're not giving up
I have candles and wind, soles and breath
And a hungry pen that doesn't know how to lie
There's still much to do
Much to die and be born
Much to grow, never stop learning
To thank tomorrow, toasting to yesterday
In some hidden place, happiness travels incognito
I never forget that when all is lost
I can write on the margins
I just want to dance, to live forever
