I Give You a Song
How I waste papers remembering you
how you make me speak in the silence
how you don't put me off
/>although no one ever sees me with you
and how time passes that suddenly become years
without you passing by me, detained
I give you a song
if I open one door
and from the shadows you come out,
I give you a song at dawn
when I want your light the most,
I give you a song
when you appear
the mystery of love
and if not you don't appear
I don't care
I'll give you a song.
If I look outside a little I stop
the city collapses
br/>and I'm singing
the people who hate me and who love me
will not forgive me
for being distracted,
they think I'm saying it all
that I'm risking my life
because they don't know you
nor feel you.
I give you a song and I make a speech
about my right to speak,
I give you a song
with my two hands
with the same ones that kill,
I give you a song
and I say homeland
and I continue speaking for you,
I give you one song
like a shot
like a book
a word
a guerrilla...
how I give love.
