Canto Arena
Silvio Rodriguez
Singing Sand
Today I continued heading towards my region
Nailing signs, deciphering crossroads
My body continues practicing its question
My bone creaks and the word is made
Today I continued taming reason
Full of wonder at the day that happened
I project a quick sketch of the action
I draw versions that I capture from oblivion
That's why I sing sand
Rock that later becomes a multitude of good water
And I sing foam
Crest that when it manages to be is no longer any
I have sharpened the longing heart
I throw stars to mingle against winds
The dream has triggered the song
And today's song tastes like an oath to me
Haste carries wonder and carries error
But we travel on a rearing wheel
I woke up in the eye of the cyclone
I count millions of holes in the soul
That's why I sing sand
Rock that later becomes a multitude of good water
And I sing foam
Crest that when it manages to be is no longer any
Today I continued heading towards my region
With a sweet bee whip in my conscience
Today I got lost loving with planning
But I won what left with prudence
Today I continued winding my clock
With a bell tied to an invisible number
I don't care where my station breaks
If when it breaks it's breaking the impossible
That's why I sing sand
Rock that later becomes a multitude of good water
And I sing foam
Crest that when it manages to be is no longer any
