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

-SUFJAN STEVENS-

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

-Neko Case-

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

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

Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)

I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down.

Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
"Remember when we used to play?"

Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down.

Music played, and people sang
Just for me, the church bells rang.

Now he's gone, I don't know why
And till this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie.

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down...

Troubled Waters

I must be
One of the devil's daughters
They look at me with scorn
I'll never hear their horn

Sometimes
It's like chains
Sometimes I hang my head
In shame
When people see me
They scandalize my name

I'm going down
To the devil's water
I'm gonna drown
In that troubled water
It's coming 'round my soul
It's way beyond control
I must be one
I must be one

I must be
One of the devil's daughters
They look at me with scorn
I'll never hear their horn

Sometimes
It's like chains
Sometimes I hang my head
In shame
When people see me
They scandalize my name

I'm going down
To the devil's water
I'm gonna drown
In that troubled water
It's coming 'round my soul
It's way beyond control
I must be one
I must be one
I must be

Rising

I got caught in a storm

And carried away
I got turned, turned around

I got caught in a storm
That's what happened to me
So I didn't call
And you didn't see me for a while

I was rising up
Hitting the ground
And breaking and breaking

I was caught in a storm
Things were flying around
And doors were slamming
And windows were breaking
And I couldn't hear what you were saying
I couldn't hear what you were saying
I couldn't hear what you were saying

I was rising up
Hitting the ground
And breaking and breaking

Rising up
Rising up

EL DESIERTO

Imagen: La columna rota, de Frida Khalo

He venido al desierto pa reirme de tu amor
Que el desierto es más tierno y la espina besa mejor

He venido a este centro de la nada pa gritar

Que tú nunca mereciste lo que tanto quise dar
Que tú nunca mereciste lo que tanto quise dar

He venido al desierto pa reirme de tu amor

Que el desierto es más tierno y la espina besa mejor

He venido a este centro de la nada pa gritar

tú nunca mereciste

He venido yo corriendo olvidándome de ti

Dame un beso pajarillo y no te asustes colibrí

He venido encendida al desierto pa quemar

Porque el alma prende fuego cuando deja de amar

Porque el alma prende fuego cuando deja de amar

El desierto, LHASA DE SELA

Love Came Here

There is no end to this story
No final tragedy or glory
Love came here and never left

Now that my heart is open
It can't be closed or broken
Love come here and never left

There's nothing here to throw away
I came to you in light of day
And love came here and never left

Someone You Once Knew

Soon the leaves will fall
I'll watch the lonely moon in the sky
And when the dawn breaks I'll listen for your heartbeat
But what I'll hear is your last goodbye
The saddest sound of all

We'll meet again, we'll stare and then
We'll smile and speak as strangers do
And all I'll be to you
Is someone you once knew

I know every line
The way your eyes shine in the dark
You'll take your fire, your tenderness, your strenght
And the memories here in my heart
Are all you'll leave behind

We'll meet again, we'll stare and then
You'll wave and as you turn to go I'll know it's true
All I can be to you
Is someone you once knew

Wild Is the Wind

Love me, love me
Say you do

Let me fly away
With you

We're creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind

Give me more than one caress
To satisfy this hungryness
We're creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind

You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolines
You kiss me
With your kiss my life begins

Like a leaf clings to a tree
Baby please cling to me
We're creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind

You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins
And you kiss me
With your kiss my life begins

Love me, love me
Say you do

Let me fly away
With you

I Found a Reason

Oh I do believe
In all the things you see
What comes is better than what came before

And you'd better come come, come come to me
Better come come, come come to me
Better run, run run, run run to me
Better come

Oh I do believe
In all the things you see
What comes is better than what came before

And you'd better run run, run run to me
Better run, run run, run run to me
Better come, come come, come come to me
You'd better run

Who knows where the time goes?

Across the evening sky, all the birds are leaving
But how can they know it's time for them to go?
Before the winter fire, I will still be dreaming
I have no thought of time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
Sad, deserted shore, your fickle friends are leaving
Ah, but then you know it's time for them to go
But I will still be here, I have no thought of leaving
I do not count the time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
And I am not alone while my love is near me
I know it will be so until it's time to go
So come the storms of winter and then the birds in spring again
I have no fear of time
For who knows how my love grows?
And who knows where the time goes?

Not Too Late

Tell me how you've been,
Tell me what you've seen,
Tell me that you'd like to see me too.

'Cause my heart is full of no blood,
My cup is full of no love,
Couldn't take another sip even if I wanted.

But it's not too late,
Not too late for love.

My lungs are out of air,
Yours are holding smoke,
And it's been like that for so long.

I've seen people try to change,
And I know it isn't easy,
But nothin' worth the time ever is.

And it's not too late,
It's not too late for love,
For love,
For love,
For love.

-NORAH JONES, Not Too Late-

The Greatest

Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind of waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars of night turned deep to dust

Melt me down
Into big black armour
Leave no trace of grace
Just in your honour
Lower me down
To culprit south
Make 'em wash a space in town
For the lead
And the dregs of my bed
I've been sleepin'
Lower me down
Pin me in
Secure the grounds
For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest
Two fists of solid rock
With brains that could explain
Any feeling

Lower me down
Pin me in
Secure the grounds
For the lead
And the dregs of my bed
I've been sleepin'
For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind of waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars of night turned deep to dust

-CAT POWER, The Greatest-

Me He Quedado Sin Pulso y Sin Aliento

Me he quedado sin pulso y sin aliento
separado de ti. Cuando respiro,
el aire se me vuelve en un suspiro
y en polvo el corazón, de desaliento.

No es que sienta tu ausencia el sentimiento.
Es que la siente el cuerpo. No te miro.
No te puedo tocar por más que estiro
los brazos como un ciego contra el viento.

Todo estaba detrás de tu figura.
Ausente tú, detrás todo de nada,
borroso yermo en el que desespero.

Ya no tiene paisaje mi amargura.
Prendida de tu ausencia mi mirada,
contra todo me doy, ciego me hiero.

-ÁNGLE GONZÁLEZ-
