Well, I'm bored and can't sleep so here goes another post, I will skip some steps for a moment and transcribe the lyrics of a song from Charly García, one of the best Argentinian musician of all time, the song is from '81 (a year before I born) and maybe the peak of this carrier. Beside the fact of being an incredible musician he said things that a few would dare in times where thing got pretty difficult around here for some.
this is not the best, neither the most representative song but it's easy to understand and translate, and what it says somewhat indentifies me and it's a quite universal feeling I guess.
Mouse over the lyrics to see what it means
Quisiera una canción para un amigo,I would like a song for a friend,
que no puede salir de la melancolía eterna de sufrirthat can't get out of eternal melancholy of suffering
de amor..for love...
Y busca en cualquier parte y hace todo para amarteAnd he looks anywhere and does everything to love you
sin embargo nunca pide perdón.however never apologizes
Sueña que vos sos como quiere él He dreams that you are like he wants you to be
y así todo lo va a perder.and like that he's gonna lose everything
Miente y se equivoca cada vez que abre la boca he lies and fails everytime he open his mouth
y hace todo para mostrar que fieland does everything to show that he's loyal
para colocarte en la cárcel de su ser. to put you in the jail of his being
Quisiera una canción para un amigo, I would like a song for a friend,
que no puede salir de la melancolia eterna de sufrirthat can't get out the eternal melancholy of suffering
de amor..for love...
Si quieres un consejo no la cuides desde lejosIf you want an advice, don't take care of her from far away
ni le digas lo que tiene que hacerneither tell her what she has to do
ella debe ser como quiere sershe must be the way she wants to be
y eso ya lo tienes que verand that is something that you must see
Rompe las cadenas que atan a la eterna pena de ser hombre y de poseerbreak the chains that bond you to the eternal sorrow of being a man and to possess
es un paso grande en la ruta de crecer.is a big step on the road of growing up.
