La última curda

Letra: Cátulo Castillo
Música: Aníbal Troilo Año: 1956

Lastima, Bandoneón, mi corazón
tu ronca maldición maleva;
tu lágrima de ron me lleva
hasta el hondo bajo fondo
donde el barro se subleva...
Ya sé; no me digás, tenés razón;
la vida es una herida absurda
y es todo, todo tan fugaz
que es una curda, nada más,
mi confesión...
Contame tu condena,
decime tu fracaso
¿No ves la pena
que me ha herido?
Y hablame simplemente
de aquel amor ausente
tras un retazo de olvido.
Ya sé que me hace daño,
ya sé que me lastimo
llorando mi sermón de vino;
pero es el viejo amor
que tiembla, bandoneón,
y busca en el licor que aturda
la curda que al final
termine la función
corriéndole un telón al corazón...
un poco de recuerdo y sinsabor
gotea tu rezongo lerdo;
marea tu licor y arrea
la tropilla de la zurda
al volcar la última curda...
Cerrame el ventanal,
que queme el sol
su lento caracol de sueño...
¿No ves que vengo de un país
que está de olvido, siempre gris,
tras el alcohol...?

look at the sky is the colour of love

don't dream it's over/they come they come to build a wall between us

There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don't ever let them win

stuck in a moment - U2

I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company
I never thought you were a fool
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere baby
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
I will not forsake
The colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see
And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now
My, oh my
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Oh love, look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass
It's just a moment
This time will pass

Cenizas y Diamantes - Don Cornelio y la zona

Parado aquí escucho las voces,
son cantos de gloria,
sonidos secos,
son ríos huecos,
controlan mi memoria.
Cenizas y diamantes,
cenizas y diamantes.
Parado aquí confundo los colores,
son resplandores divinos,
densa oscuridad,
fuego más velocidad,
la tumba del camino.
Cenizas y diamantes,
cenizas y diamantes
Saludo y pateo la mirada del dolor,
laten mis sueños sobrevuelan hacia vos,
hay un túnel, una luz, una salida,
hay tres pájaros espejos en caída,
un sabor que nace de tu respiración,
amargo amor, cenizas y diamantes, pasión,
amargo amor.
Cenizas y diamantes.
