Supongamos
Victor Heredia
Let's suppose
Let's suppose
Let's suppose I tell them that
I long for another country and want to return.
It's been so many years that I don't know
If it's true that I lived it or just dreamed it.
I was with my father without speaking,
Rarely did we both talk,
We were enough by looking
Into each other's eyes and staying silent;
Blue winds grew in me...
Let's suppose I tell them that
In this same space there is another city;
One of hypodermic and painful
Dark like a child sinking in alcohol,
Another blind and deaf without knowing
That the century is dying around,
The truth is so tragic
That death is sympathetic
Icy winds stroll in me...
Let's suppose I point out here
That it's good to remember what one wanted to be.
We were the young ones of the sun
Our homeland our blood and everything vanished.
Someone walked with my song
With bleeding feet and without love,
Tears are not paid with gifts or medals,
Southern winds repeat it here...
Blue winds grew in me...
