La Maza

Si no creyera en la locurade la garganta del sinsontesi no creyera que en el montese esconde el trino y la pavura.Si no creyera en la balanzaen la razón del equilibriosi no creyera en el deliriosi no creyera en la esperanza.Si no creyera en lo que agenciosi no creyera en mi caminosi no creyera en mi sonidosi no creyera en mi silencio.

que cosa fueraque cosa fuera la maza sin canteraun amasijo hecho de cuerdas y tendonesun revoltijo de carne con maderaun instrumento sin mejores resplandoresque lucecitas montadas para escenaque cosa fuera -corazon- que cosa fueraque cosa fuera la maza sin canteraun testaferro del traidor de los aplausosun servidor de pasado en copa nuevaun eternizador de dioses del ocasojubilo hervido con trapo y lentejuelaque cosa fuera -corazon- que cosa fueraque cosa fuera la maza sin canteraque cosa fuera -corazon- que cosa fueraque cosa fuera la maza sin cantera.

Si no creyera en lo mas durosi no creyera en el deseosi no creyera en lo que creosi no ceyera en algo puro.Si no creyera en cada heridasi no creyera en la que rondesi no creyera en lo que escondehacerse hermano de la vida.Si no creyera en quien me escuchasi no creyera en lo que duelesi no creyera en lo que quedasi no creyera en lo que lucha.Que cosa fuera...

The mallet

If i didn’t believe in the madnessOf the neck of the bird “sinsonte”If i didn’t believe that in the mountainIs hiding the trill and the dreadIf i didn’t believe in the scalesIn the reason of balanceIf i didn’t believe in the deliriumIf i didn’t believe in the hopeIf i didn’t believe in what i achieve with skillIf i didn’t believe in my roadIf i didn’t believe in my soundIf i didn’t believe in my silence

What would beWhat would be the mallet without quarry (to cut out stone)A mix made of ropes and tendonsA mess of flash with woodAn instrument without better gleamsThan small lights getting on to the sceneWhat would be- my heart- what would beWhat would be the mallet without quarry (to cut out stone)A figurehead of the traitor of the applausesA servant of the past in new cupA perpetuator of declining goddessesAn exultation boiled with cloth and sequinWhat would be- my heart- what would beWhat would be the mallet without quarry (to cut out stone)What would be- my heart- what would beWhat would be the mallet without quarry (to cut out stone)

If i didn’t believe in the most cruelIf i didn’t believe in the desireIf i didn’t believe in what i believeIf i didn’t believe in something pureIf i didn’t believe in every woundIf i didn’t believe in what comes aroundIf i didn’t believe in what hides behindMaking oneself brother with lifeIf i didn’t believe in whoever listens to meIf i didn’t believe in what hurtsIf i didn’t believe in what staysIf i didn’t believe in what fightsWhat would be…
