Canción de Invierno
Silvio Rodriguez
Winter Song
It's a cold day and you arrive home
You come from the tired afternoon of a Thursday
The furniture, your dog, and millions of eyes
Are as always waiting for your return
In which you sense that nothing has changed
The same awaits you, the dream has passed
You gather your hair so free in the afternoon
Perhaps because someone never saw it imprisoned
You sit and have dinner and all the guilt
They hit you with a weight greater than your strength
And your eyes struggle and this crazy afternoon
Until you are weak and cover your mouth
When everything passes, you believe you are safe
While with your hours you stir ashes
Deep inside you sense forbidden passions
It doesn't matter to lie to be happy
Until a desire gets into your bed
But what are you thinking? You cover your chest
But you need to be okay with everything
Everything that is not okay with yourself
Anguish is the price of being oneself
Better to be happy like our parents
And make pity eternal loves
Until in the end, winter covers you
