Hoy no quiero estar lejos de la casa y e by Silvio Rodríguez (english translation)
Today I do not want to be far from the house and the tree,
today I would like to strengthen my submerged city,
mouth of corals, soul of sponges,
hardness of the stones that are sometimes,
eyes of starfish and fish.
Today I want to sing you further,
beyond where the song is to arrive.
How am I going to change the color of a wave,
what can be wanted if everything is horizon,
what am I going to teach the sum of the wind,
what can I object to a starry night,
with my yellow sail and my bow patched.
Today I want to sing you further,
beyond where the song is to arrive.
Today I do not want to be far from the house and the tree,
every curl of the floor is a dream told,
something like a memory, an image, a kiss,
and in the back of the day that something remains,
Today I do not want to be far from the house and the tree.
Today I want to sing you further,
beyond where the song is to be,
the song, my song.
Only among all we can make this a better place :)
