Canción de Invierno
Silvio Rodriguez
Winter Song
It's a cold day and you get home
You come from a tired Thursday afternoon
The furniture, the dog and millions of eyes
They are as always waiting for your return
In which you feel that nothing has changed
The same awaits you, the dream has passed
You pick up your hair so freely in the afternoon
Maybe because no one ever saw him in prison
You sit down and eat dinner and all the blame
They hit you with a weight greater than your strength
And the eyes struggle and this crazy afternoon
Until you are weak and cover your mouth
When everything happens you think you are safe
While with your hours you stir ashes
You sense forbidden passions deep within
It doesn't matter to lie to be happy
Until a wish comes into your bed
But what are you thinking? You cover your chest
But you need to be okay with everything
Everything that is not good with yourself
Anguish is the price of being yourself
Better to be happy like our parents
And make eternal love out of pity
Until winter eventually covers you
