LAUGH OR SMILE

Laugh or smile, but don't cry
Death is a point of no return
No tears will be enough
To sprinkle the dry grass

Laugh or smile, but don't scream
frustrations are deaf and stupid
No tenor will tremble the eardrum
No soprano will break the old glass

Laugh or smile, but don't frown
disappointments will be there to stay
wrinkles will go deeper and deeper
And only age will make all vanish.

BIG DISAPPOINTMENT

What do you say
How do you do
When did you notice
A big disappointment

What can you give
How can you take
When you react
To a big disappointment

What brings you there
How all this happened
When you realized
Was a big disappointment

What else to do
How can you say it
When you just lecture
Because of a big disappointment.

EL QUINTO INTENTO

El primer intento fallo
Caminaba sobre el borde del rio
Sombrio . . . sombrio.
Era Alfonsina Storni
Mitad mujer . . . mitad hombre
Agua dulce, no mar
No roca, sino barro
Lo asusto su propio eco
En el agua como espejo.

El segundo fue en el dieciseis
desnudo y con coraje
no solo y con arbitraje
rozo la baranda y lo atajaron
El queria ser Lugones
Pues no tenia pantalones.

El tercero sera el vencido
Vencido el, no su intento
Pero si solo fue puro invento
y nunca lo intento.

La cuarta en el carro fue el cuarto
Ochenta, noventa cien o mas
Solo escuchaba La Carretera
Asfalto mojado vociferaba el español
De una radio ya sin control

No esperen el quinto
No lo hubo nunca.

HAVE A DRINK (And sing along)

It is sour, it is sweet
It is very refreshing
The flavor of beer

You might have one of those days
In which you hate people
You hate them for what they think, if they
You hate them for how they look, how dare
You hate them for where they live, too close
You hate them for what they are, and pray
Then you drink a little bit more

Then it is sour, then it is sweet
It is very refreshing 
The flavor of beer

And you still have one of those days
You don’t share what  they think, how can
They can look kinda ok, oh well
They can live as they can, just away
They can talk as they might, who cares
Then you drink a little bit more

And a little more sour, a little more sweet
it is greatly refreshing
da’ flavor of beer

You are having A day
When you share all your thoughts, and drink
And you are moving with them, a bliss
And just look at their eyes, and laugh
Then you drink a little bit more

And with more sour than sweet
With great suffocation and need
That flavor of beer.

Because you’re having one of those days, again
In which you even hate yourself, and then
What the heck where you thinking, with them
Have you seen how they look, like shit
When they are going to move, away
Please tell them to shut up, oh God!

Then it is sour and sweet
It is very refreshing
The flavor of beer.

PHOENIX

 Like the mythic bird he dies
Every day in this lonely world
He had tried once more to cope
With pain and frustration just to find out
At the end of the journey he was still alone

Like the mythic bird he always awakens
Extending his feathers every day
Confusing reflexion he sees on the lake
Traveling again in search of his mate
Flying again in search of his love

Like the mythic bird he finally finds out
Not only on this day, but on every one
He is here alone, no one is awaiting
His flight is a shadow in this paradise
And the sunset starts burning, he just has to die

And like the mythic bird he finally does
Tired of searching, for love in this land.

ALLI ES OTONO, AQUI PRIMAVERA

Como diferenciar en el recuerdo
El frio de tu primavera y el calor de mi otoño
Como tener conciencia a tanto tiempo y a tanta distancia
De lo que nos paso en realidad
Solo unas pocas imagenes mentales mantengo de ti
Y ninguna fotografia
Salvo la que tengo en mi memoria
Del momento en que la escalera mecanica
Alejaba tu imagen mientras a mi me transportaba
A otro mundo, a otro tiempo, a otro lugar.

ALL THAT I NEED

A bark in the distance
Steps over crunchy grass
A sun that resists going down
And my hand holding yours
That is all that I need.

And once in a while
when you look at my eyes
and express all your love
with just one sweet smile
That is all that I need

To remember our song
And your favorite color
And the day when we met
To declare each others feeling
That is all that I need

If I close my eyes today
I will know you will be there
helping slowly through the change
At my side to the end
That is all that I need

To be with you,to be your lover
That is all that I need.
