Caminar Sola
Yami Safdie
Walking Alone
It's night, I don't have money for a car
A few blocks, well I could walk them
It's a somewhat indecent neighborhood
But at least there are still people
Maybe they'll hear me scream if something happens to me
I send my location and there I go
Because I had to wear this just today
That man is looking at me
Or is it just my imagination
I could turn back, maybe or maybe not
Walk, don't let them see you hesitate
It'll be your fault if something happens to you
Now it's done, you can't go back
Just for wanting to arrive alone, maybe I'll never return
I turn into a dark street, a couple of guys are smoking
They say dirty things to me, they shout that I'm tough
There's a boy there, I'm going to follow him
I don't know what makes me feel like it will help
But I don't care
This street is short
Now the boy turns
Once again I'm alone
Because he didn't arrive, How I want to cry
It seemed closer on Google Maps
If I don't die here, my mom will kill me when she finds out
I don't believe in God but I'll pray
How the hell was it, Adonay witch?
Walk, don't let them see you hesitate
It'll be your fault if something happens to you
Now it's done, you can't go back
Just for wanting to arrive alone, maybe I'll never return
Stop, I think I made a mistake
It was the other way, I'll have to go back
No, no, I'm fine here
I'm almost there, I can almost see it
Now I'm really alone here
Except for a few guys watching me pass by
To me, they're ghosts in the darkness
I don't want to look, I can't stop, ready to scream
And how scary it is, just to be
Being a woman anywhere
It's hard to breathe, my heart is going to burst
And if I run and then? Door
Breathe, don't let them see you cry
Baby, it's not your fault if something happens to you
Now it's done, nothing can hurt you
Until there's another place you want to reach alone
It's night, I don't have money for a car
