Mercedes Sosa "La Maza" lyrics

Translation to:en

La Maza

Si no creyera en la locura,de la garganta del sinsonte,si no creyera que en el montese esconde el trino y la pavura.

Si no creyera en la balanza,en la razón del equilibrio,si no creyera en el delirio,si no creyera en la esperanza.

Si no creyera en lo que agencio,si no creyera en mi camino,si no creyera en mi sonido,si no creyera en mi silencio.

¿Qué cosa fuera,qué cosa fuera la maza sin cantera?Un amasijo hecho de cuerdas y tendones,un revoltijo de carne con madera,un instrumento sin mejores pretensionesque lucecitas montadas para escena.

¿Qué cosa fuera, corazón, qué cosa fuera?¿Qué cosa fuera la maza sin cantera?Un testaferro del traidor de los aplausos,un servidor de pasado en copa nueva,un eternizador de dioses del ocaso,júbilo hervido con trapo y lentejuela.

¿Qué cosa fuera, corazón, qué cosa fuera?¿Qué cosa fuera la maza sin cantera?

Si no creyera en lo más duro,si no creyera en el deseo,si no creyera en lo que creo,si no creyera en algo puro.

Si no creyera en cada herida,si no creyera en lo que ronde,si no creyera en lo que esconde,hacerse hermano de la vida.

Si no creyera en quien me escucha,si no creyera en lo que duele,si no creyera en lo que quede,si no creyera en lo que lucha.

¿Qué cosa fuera,qué cosa fuera la maza sin cantera?Un amasijo hecho de cuerdas y tendones,un revoltijo de carne con madera,un instrumento sin mejores pretensionesque lucecitas montadas para escena.

¿Qué cosa fuera, corazón, qué cosa fuera?¿Qué cosa fuera la maza sin cantera?

The Mace

If I didn't believe in madness,Of the throath of the recklessIf I din't believe that in the bushthe birds' chirping and the fear hide.

If I didn't believe in the scale,in the reason of balance,If I didn't believe in delirium,If I didn't believe in hope.

If I didn't believe in what I command,If I didn't believe in my path,If I didn't believe in my sound,If I didn't believe in my silence.

What would it be,What would the mace be without stone quarry?A mixture conformed by ropes and sinewsA mess of meat with wood,An instrument with no better pretensionsthan litlle light bulbs put for escene.

What would it be, my love, what would it be?What would the mace be without stone quarry?A liar of the traitor of the applauses,An old servant in a new glass,An believer of Gods of the sunset,Happiness poured with cloth and sequin.

What would it be, my love, what would it be?What would the mace be without stone quarry?

If I didn't believe in the roughest,If I didn'r believe in the longing,If I din't believe in what I believe,If I didn't believe in something pure.

If I didn't believe in each wound,If I din't believe in what makes moves,If I didn't believe in what it's hidden,Become a brotherof the life.

If I didn't believe in who hears me,If I didn't believe in what hurts,If I didn't belive in what it is now,If I didn't believe in what fights.

What would it be, my love, what would it be?What would the mace be without stone quarry?A liar of the traitor of the applauses,An old servant in a new glass,An believer of Gods of the sunset,Happiness poured with cloth and sequin.

What would it be, my love, what would it be?What would the mace be without stone quarry?
