En Blanco y Negro (Buenos Aires)
Silvina Garre
In Black and White
I opened my eyes and saw her
She was beautiful as always
The first lights of the day
Invited her to change
Like in dreams she tried to be
The center of some universe
Breathing in gulps
Reviving crowds that love her
Like me, who love her
Like me, who miss her
Like me, who can't go
Too far without crying
Like me, who judge her
Like me, who deny her
Like me, who can't go
Too far without crying
I opened my eyes and saw you
People don't listen to your song
They don't understand that some nights
You die of loneliness
An abyss, a chessboard
In black and white, Buenos Aires
You took away all the laughter
And you were fragile like me
Like me, who loves you
Like me, who misses you
Like me, who can't go
Too far without crying
Like me, who judges you
Like me, who denies you
Like me, who can't go
Too far without crying
