¿A Dónde Van?
Silvio Rodriguez
Where Do They Go?
Where do the words that didn't stay go?
Where do the glances that once left go?
Perhaps they float eternally
Like prisoners of a gale
Or they curl up in the cracks
Looking for warmth
Perhaps they roll on the glass
Like raindrops that want to pass
Maybe they will never be something again
Maybe they are leaving
And where are they going?
Where are they going?
What will my old shoes become?
Where did so many leaves of a tree go?
Where are the anguishes?
That from your eyes jumped for me?
Where did my dirty words go?
Of April blood?
Where are these bodies going right now?
That I can never stop shining?
Maybe they will never be something again
Maybe they are leaving
And where are they going?
Where are they going?
Where does the common, the everyday go?
Taking off your shoes at the door
The helping hand
Where does the surprise go?
Almost everyday at dusk?
Where does the tablecloth go?
Yesterday's coffee
Where do the little ones go?
Terrible charms that home has?
Maybe they will never be something again
Maybe they are leaving
And where are they going?
Where are they going?
And where are they going?
Where are they going?
