Yo Digo Que Las Estrellas
Silvio Rodriguez
I Say That The Stars
I say that the stars
Give thanks to the night
Because on top of another car
They can't shine so beautifully
And I say it's her fault
Of the night, the universe
As verses are to blame
For having nights and stars
I say there's no one who grows
Beyond what is worth
And the fool who doesn't know
Is the one who stops on stilts
And I say that whoever lends themselves
To be a pawn of poison
Is doubly foolish, and I don't want
To be a dancer at their party
I say there's no demeanor
Clearer than going naked
Because when you have a shield
Then you want gloves
And to whoever says to endure me
Under a cassock
I'll hit them with a caravan
Of feelings, of feelings
Of giant feelings
I say there's no other song
Than the one that comes from the jungle
And whoever understands it
Will be the fruit of the tallest tree
And I say it's so hard
And that you have to cross the tundra
But in the end, the twilight
Becomes a rainbow of song
