Juego Que Me Regalo Un 6 de Enero
Silvio Rodriguez
Game That Was Gifted to Me on January 6th
I am a citizen of love, I carry a noose of beauty
Between the shoulder pad and the head, between knee and belt
Critiquing society, I perfumed myself with courage
They thought I was a dissident, but I was just being natural
Martí spoke to me about friendship and I believe in him every day
Although harsh economics have shed light on another truth
The world has its focus on bread, on the newspaper
That rudimentary man who will grant us absolution
Blind, the new life is
Like a verse in reverse
Like love to decipher
Like a God at play age
Sing, go to destiny, to the point that will be final
Play what I didn't play
And sing that even without a magician king
I'm still standing
I'm sure I'm really bad, I must suffer something strange
Because neither gall nor disappointment give me reason for a funeral
The end of the century brings the temple marked by decay
As if inviting me to a fire that will ignite, for those who love well
Blessed be the time that gave me a song without permission
Blessed be the paradise somewhat infernal that bore me
On the day of Armageddon, I don't want to be behind the door
If not dreaming wide awake, where I am safe from forgiveness
Blind, the new life is
Like a verse in reverse
Like love to decipher
Like a God at play age
Sing, go to destiny, to the point that will be final
Play what I didn't play
And sing that even without a magician king
I'm still standing
