Apologia de Mujer

Silvio Rodriguez Silvio Rodriguez

Woman's Apology

I didn't come here, you did
I didn't expect you and I kissed you
It is supposed that I should be silent
It is supposed that I should go on

It is supposed that I shouldn't protest
It is supposed that you are a gift
That broke right away
And now nothing, the usual
It is supposed that you are the hat
Of a party, one of those cardboard
For the occasion... Oh woman!

If you knew how briefly
the light entered, in a child's house
in a tall building
and it was the awaited time of day
you wouldn't have touched my shoulder
once... Oh woman!

If you knew how briefly
that light entered, in a house called
the night, it's a house
where there were no more doors
than those of the reason of that child
without faith.

Now, it is supposed and nothing more
I would also like to assume
that cowardice didn't exist
that it's an old bedtime story.

But I remain in the middle of myself
and in the middle of the same walls
smiling at friends
going there, having breakfast
but I remain here
applauding once again
the ghosts of the three
Oh woman!

I hope that with you love ends
I hope you have killed my last hunger
that the ridiculous ends mercilessly
with me, and I, as a faithful dog
turn it into a song.
Oh woman!

Don't blame yourself, blame is a game
of chance, no one knows how bad
it can be laughing
and how cruel a gift could turn out.
Don't be scared of the day that will
end, don't be scared of the bridges
falling into the sea
Don't be scared of my final laughter.
