Song for My Death
I know that a certain street I've already passed
will never hear the sound of my steps again
has a magazine that I have kept for many years
and that I will never open again
every time I say goodbye to someone
it could be that that person is seeing me for the last time
death, deaf, walks beside me
and I don't know which corner she will kiss me on.
with what pleasure will she come?
will she Will she let me finish what I have to do?
or will she catch me
in the middle of a glass of whiskey?
in the song I left to compose tomorrow?< br/>Will she wait for me to put out my cigarette in the ashtray?
She will come before I find the woman
the woman who was destined for me
and who is somewhere in my life waiting
although I still don't know you?
I will find you dressed in satin
because anywhere you wait just for me
and in your kiss I taste the strange taste
br/>that I want and do not desire, but I have to find
it comes, but it takes time to arrive
I hate you and I love death,
death, death that maybe
be the secret of this life
what will be the manner of my death?
one of the many things I did not choose in life
there are so many: a car accident
the heart that refuses to beat in the next minute
anesthesia poorly applied, life poorly lived
wound poorly healed, pain already aged
cancer already spread out and still hidden
or even, who knows,
a stupid slip on a sunny afternoon
and your head on the curb
O death, you who are you are so strong
that you kill the cat, the mouse and the man
dress in your most beautiful clothes when you come to get me
may my body be cremated
that my ashes feed the grass
and may this grass feed another man like me
because I will continue in that man
and in my children
in the rude word I said to someone who I didn't like it
and even the whiskey I didn't finish drinking
that night
