La Vida
Silvio Rodriguez
Life
The life of a bird in flight
the life of a sunrise
the life of a child
of a forest and a river
life has made me know.
The life of the deaf and the blind
the life that can't speak
that of the sad madman
the one that tastes like little
life has made me dream.
The voracious life that tangles
the life that goes out to play
the conscious life that remains
the life that beats in the sea.
The life that sprouts from a dead
the life that didn't die
that of the deserts
that of an open book
life has made me who I am.
The life that shines in the thunder
the final life of a goodbye
the life dripping from a breast
the secret life of a god.
The life that hangs on everything
the life of every emotion
life in excess
the life of a kiss
life has made me a song.
