Canto ( to the others )


Verse I
A woman with big hands 
a bird flying here and low
down the river species of fish I will never know
the shadow of a cat behind the trash beans getting bigger and bigger
the late summer in the city
my sheets no washed since 
the clouds with shapes I don't recognize from this angle 
my anger
the guy in the square who is more than beautiful 
he is a movie star in the movies I will never made 
the songs I sing 
and the words of the singers when they signing live 
my sadness 
the two stores building 
and the kids running up and down in the park always running up and down 
they will grow also 
their names I will ever know ?
The list of my imaginary groceries 
the doctors in the family 
my sense of freedom
when is summer time
and my sense of captivity 
when is winter 
I want to be 
there with the man who is ready
my sense of readiness
this beahavior of my mind 
the gym packed before six
the noise across the street and 
the race being extinguish from earth
we will remember them ? 
my side of the story 
and the tricks the losers try after loosing  
my heart 
and the path of my feelings before arriving there 
do I will ever 
the french pyrenees 
or the tall trees in the forest 
deep in time before I meet them 
this light against the wall before 
I go to sleep
my friends in spain 
and the ones departed before the last super
they are 
an amusement park as the size of my body rest desperate beyond a border still yet to reach 
and is okay
is there 
some where in the gens of my next life.

Verse II
Memory of my fragile me
and the lonely woman with the hands 
and the little mind behind in the first car
there is a parade I will never celebrate but not now
the dying peace
our fathers
and our mothers 
days ahead drumming omen
with a silence that moves waters 
that become the rivers that bring thr fishes closer and closer 
like a sign we may be never learned how to read 
and yet we read 
we follow the lines of these figures 
side to side matching with big eyes 
the Eyes of the universe 
through a gut we fill up with illusion
my head 
and the limbs of this trembling me 
walking on a tiny but surely alley of joy 
and a house 
small with a farm as backyard 
my real wife is here 
my soul and my forks 
the table my grandparents prepare every night while they take care of Us 
and Us again 
and Us 
and the repetition of our children joining the long lines of glory every saturday
we didn't need religion then 
my bag pack and my sister
the blouse of this girl on the tracks falling after midnight 
and the end of my rehearsal thinking 
about the most beautiful guy through the window
I shout his name in that particular moment when I lost control
many times the sunshine 
and many times 
the pain 
ever shared but today 
an is gone 
fly above yes 
you can see it building patterns through the multiple cloudy sky 
like birds 
is coming back and we are here 
with a piece of bread for it
with it we will fly and we will eat
we here
I am here 
calling

Verse III ( Charly )
Walking to the edge of the tracks 
thinking about how funny our beginning
then the company then the wind on that evening glamorous Brazil
real stars in real time with real tittles
our life
the carrousel of color and your git body into an heavenly distress 
for me for the next for the nervousness 
the disco moves in entire and endless nights 
at the hotel and the famous opera houses around the world 
we were the fantasy of those coming 
and the vomiting of the presenters in the next morning 
the opening of the bussiness at the main square 
baggy jeans my friend
my smile over time an under 
the trial of life start with you an travel with you 
after all these years you may be the reason
why tears do not count 
there you are in my new album 
lets remember and make it 
make it real good 
the waving of the water in the pools we played drowning the glasses full of red wine 
snacks and friends 
plenty of dance ahead 
waiting in sunny Ancona 
party boys listening to the violin after night 
an the musicians 
I am very sorry I had a "boyfriend"
Damn me and love 
what is that anyway amigo ? 
Smile forever learn 
damage bed above the roof of new york city
your delightful taste 
my dreamed better me 
our heart 
out there our heart 
always there in reflexion if our self our body 
the only one this life time
I am wishing you well 
so far the only one 
plenty to talk 
then the laughter 
then you 
then sex
then youth forever.
