Urgent Songs
Playa Girón
Fellow poets, taking into account the latest events in poetry,
I would like to ask - it urges me -,
What type of adjectives should be used to make the poem of a ship,
without it becoming sentimental, out of the avant-garde
or obvious pamphlet,
if I should use words like
Cuban Fleet of Fishing, and Playa Girón?
My fellow musicians,
taking into account those polytonal
and bold songs, I would like to ask
- it urges me -,
 What kind of harmony should be used to make this ship's song with men of little boyhood, men and only men on deck? Black and red men and blue,
the men who populate the Playa Girón.
Historiq colleagues,
taking into account how implacable
the truth must be, I would like to ask
- it urges me so much -,
What should I say? What boundaries should I respect? If someone steals food
and then gives his life, what to do?
How far should we practice the truths?
How far do we know?
What Write, then, history, your history,
the men of Playa Girón.
André Velloso - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
