Milonga Paraguaya

Milonga paraguaya,
prima lejana de Mangoré.
¿Que me estará queriendo decir
la noche,
que no lo sé?
¿Que me estará queriendo decir
la noche,
que no lo sé?

Yo miro a mi guitarra,
busco en las grietas del corazón.
Como estaré de solo
que estoy hablándole a una canción.
Como estaré de solo
que estoy hablándole a una canción.

Pasa un segundo,
como pasa una página en blanco
que no estrené.

Paso la vida
buscando un verso
que nunca encontraré.
Paso la vida
buscando un verso
que nunca encontraré.

Cuando me quede solo
varado y lejos del mar, yo sé,
que aunque no tenga nada,
tendré a esta copla esperándome.
Que aunque no tenga nada,
tendré a esta copla esperándome.


Abre tus brazos
y suéltate el pelo
que vengo buscándote,
milonga paraguaya
prima lejana de Mangoré.

Mistery of Love

Oh, to see without my eyes
The first time that you kissed me
Boundless by the time I cried
I built your walls around me
White noise, what an awful sound
Fumbling by Rogue River
Feel my feet above the ground
Hand of God, deliver me

[Chorus 1]
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
The first time that you touched me
Oh, will wonders ever cease?
Blessed be the mystery of love

[Verse 2]
Lord, I no longer believe
Drowned in living waters
Cursed by the love that I received
From my brother's daughter
Like Hephaestion, who died
Alexander's lover
Now my riverbed has dried
Shall I find no other?

Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
I'm running like a plover
Now I'm prone to misery
The birthmark on your shoulder reminds me

How much sorrow can I take?
Blackbird on my shoulder
And what difference does it make
When this love is over?
Shall I sleep within your bed
River of unhappiness
Hold your hands upon my head
Till I breathe my last breath

Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
The last time that you touched me
Oh, will wonders ever cease?
Blessed be the mystery of love

I Wish I Was The Moon

Chimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I've freezing hands and bloodless veins
As numb as I've become

I'm so tired
I wish I was the moon tonight

Last night I dreamt I had forgotten my name
'Cause I had sold my soul but awoke just the same
I'm so lonely
I wish I was the moon tonight

God blessed me, I'm a free man
With no place free to go
I'm paralyzed and collared-tight
No pills for what I fear

This is crazy
I wish I was the moon tonight

Chimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I've freezing hands & bloodless veins
As numb as I've become

I'm so tired,
I wish I was the moon tonight

How will you know if you found me at last
'Cause I'll be the one, be the one, be the one
With my heart in my lap
I'm so tired, I'm so tired
And I wish I was the moon tonight

I'm so tired, I'm so tired,
And I wish I was the moon
I'm so tired, I'm so tired,
And I wish I was the moon tonight

My Body Is A Cage

My body is a cage that keeps me
From dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

My body is a cage that keeps me
From dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

I'm standing on a stage
Of fear and self-doubt
It's a hollow play
But they'll clap anyway

My body is a cage that keeps me
From dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key

I'm living in an age
That calls darkness light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head

I'm living in an age
Whose name I don't know
Though the fear keeps me moving
Still my heart beats so slow

My body is a cage that keeps me
From dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key
My body is a

My body is a cage
We take what we're given
Just because you've forgotten
That don't mean you're forgiven

I'm living in an age
That screams my name at night
But when I get to the doorway
There's no one in sight

I'm living in an age
That laughs
When I'm dancing
With the one I love
But my mind holds the key

You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key

Set my spirit free
Set my spirit free
Set my body free
Set my body free

Set my spirit free
Set my body free

Think of You

Just a song we shared, I'll hear
Brings memories back when you were here
Of your smile, your easy laughter
Of your kiss, those moments after
I think of you,
and think of you
and think of you.

Of the dreams we dreamt together
Of the love we vowed would never
Melt like snowflakes in the sun
My days now end as they begun
With thoughts of you,
and I think of you
and think of you.

Down the streets I walked with you
Seeing others doing things we do
Now these thoughts are haunting me
Of how complete I used to be
And in these times that we're apart
I'll hear this song that breaks my heart
And think of you
And I think of you
And think of you
and think of you
And I do

Aburrimiento

He deseado no desar nada, o desear
pocas cosas, pocas reflexiones al unísono
pocas elucubraciones contradictorias, pocos
bares en mi camino, poco amor,
poco de todo que todo cansa y no
es que canse porque sea cansado el todo,
sino que cuando te quedas sin nada
añoras todo y eso es lo que realmente
cansa.

Lucha de Gigantes

Lucha de gigantes
Convierte
El aire en gas natural
Un duelo salvaje
Advierte

Lo cerca que ando de entrar
En un mundo descomunal
Siento mi fragilidad

Vaya pesadilla
Corriendo
Con una bestia detrás
Dime que es mentira todo
Un sueño tonto y no más
Me da miedo la enormidad
Donde nadie oye mi voz

Deja de engañar
No quieras ocultar
Que has pasado sin tropezar
Monstruo de papel
No sé contra quién voy
O es que acaso hay alguien más aquí?

Creo en los fantasmas terribles
De algún extrano lugar
Y en mis tonterías
Para hacer tu risa estallar

En un mundo descomunal
Siento tu fragilidad

Deja de engañar
No quieras ocultar
Que has pasado sin tropezar
Monstruo de papel
No se contra quien voy
O es que acaso hay alguien mas aquí?

Deja que pasemos sin miedo

Niño Hojas

Niño hojas sale de casa
Muy temprano a trabajar
Sube a un tren y por las mañanas
Canta mientras ve gente con el

Árboles caen tras las ventanas
Nubes se van, el tiempo no alcanza
Ya llegara otra noche
Para cenar otra vez

Niño hojas canta de noche
Pone discos para dormir
Tiene hojas en sus bolsillos
Y las usa para escribir

Nieve que cae tras las ventanas
Nubes se van y el tiempo no alcanza
Hay que empezar las maletas
Para volar otra vez

Creo es mejor solo ser bien amigos
Nada mejor, nada mejor
Así pasaran los años a seguirnos
Sin un amor, sin un adiós

Yo creo ser mejor solo bien amigos
Nada mejor nada mejor
Así pasaran los años a seguirnos sin un amor
Sin un adiós, sin un amor, sin un adiós

Both Sides Now

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere,
I've looked at clouds that way.

But now they only block the sun,
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done,
But clouds got in my way.

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud's illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels,
The dizzy dancing way that you feel
As every fairy tale comes real,
I've looked at love that way.

But now it's just another show,
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know,
Don't give yourself away.

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud,
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds,
I've looked at life that way.

Oh but now old friends they're acting strange,
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day.

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

I've looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
