Nosotros dos

soy un hombre que vuelve
sobre sus pasos
soy un hombre que vuelve

soy un hombre deshecho en pedazos
soy un hombre deshecho

no soy más que una sombra
de lo que pude haber sido
no soy más que una sombra

soy el grito de espanto
de las noches sin sueño
soy el grito de espanto

soy el cántaro hueco
que siempre deja sediento
soy el cántaro hueco

no soy y soy a veces
soy y nunca seré
no seré nunca y no he sido

no tengo mapas
no tengo destino
no tengo nada
más que mi camino

Oh play me a blue song and fade down the light
I'm sad as a proud man can be sad tonight
Just let me dream on, oh just let me sway
While the sweet violins and the saxophones play
And Miss, you don't know me, but can't we pretend
That we care for each other, till the band reach the end

One step for aching, and two steps for breaking
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
One step for sighing and two steps for crying
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love

Now they say love's for gamblers, oh the pendulum swings
I bet hard on love and I lost everything
So don't send me home now, put a shot in my arm
And we'll drink out old memories and we'll drink in the dawn
And Mr Bandleader won't you play one more time
For I've good folding money in this pocket of mine

Oh, one step for aching, two steps for breaking
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
One step for sighing, and two steps for crying
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love

Oh Miss, you don't know me, but can't we pretend
That we care for each other, till the band reach the end

Oh, one step for aching, two steps for breaking
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
One step for sighing, two steps for crying
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love

There's an evenin' haze settlin' over town
Starlight by the edge of the creek
The buyin' power of the proletariat's gone down
Money's gettin' shallow and weak
Well, the place I love best is a sweet memory
It's a new path that we trod
They say low wages are a reality
If we want to compete abroad

El poder adquisitivo del proletariado ha caído,
el dinero se ha vuelto superficial y débil.
Bueno, el lugar que más amo es un recuerdo dulce,
es un nuevo camino que transitamos,
dicen que los salarios bajos son una realidad
si queremos competir en el extranjero.

My cruel weapons have been put on the shelf
Come sit down on my knee
You are dearer to me than myself
As you yourself can see
While I'm listening to the steel rails hum
Got both eyes tight shut
Just sitting here trying to keep the hunger from
Creeping it's way into my gut

[Chorus:]
Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
Bring me my boots and shoes
You can hang back or fight your best on the frontline
Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues

Well, I'm sailin' on back, ready for the long haul
Tossed by the winds and the seas
I'll drag 'em all down to hell and I'll stand 'em at the wall
I'll sell 'em to their enemies
I'm tryin' to feed my soul with thought
Gonna sleep off the rest of the day
Sometimes no one wants what we got
Sometimes you can't give it away

Now the place is ringed with countless foes
Some of them may be deaf and dumb
No man, no woman knows
The hour that sorrow will come
In the dark I hear the night birds call
I can feel a lover's breath
I sleep in the kitchen with my feet in the hall
Sleep is like a temporary death

[Chorus]

Well, they burned my barn, and they stole my horse
I can't save a dime
I got to be careful, I don't want to be forced
Into a life of continual crime
I can see for myself that the sun is sinking
How I wish you were here to see
Tell me now, am I wrong in thinking
That you have forgotten me?

Now they worry and they hurry and they fuss and they fret
They waste your nights and days
Them I will forget
But you I'll remember always
Old memories of you to me have clung
You've wounded me with your words
Gonna have to straighten out your tongue
It's all true, everything you've heard

[Chorus]

In you, my friend, I find no blame
Wanna look in my eyes, please do
No one can ever claim
That I took up arms against you
All across the peaceful sacred fields
They will lay you low
They'll break your horns and slash you with steel
I say it so it must be so

Now I'm down on my luck and I'm black and blue
Gonna give you another chance
I'm all alone and I'm expecting you
To lead me off in a cheerful dance
I got a brand new suit and a brand new wife
I can live on rice and beans
Some people never worked a day in their life
Don't know what work even means

A ustedes, sí, "los de siempre", los que se llenaron los bolsillos década tras década en este país maltrecho por la codicia y la bestialidad.
A ustedes que jamás dejaron que el pueblo decida. Asumieron que "ser votados" significa adueñarse de todo y hacer lo que les venga en gana.
A ustedes que se unieron a cuanto negocio turbio hubo en este país.
A ustedes que una vez más están amenazando a la gente, perturbando los sueños de quienes queremos vivir tranquilos (sólo vivir tranquilos imbéciles, entienden? No ganar fortunas, simplemente vivir en paz).
A ustedes que llenaron las heladeras antes de cada crisis y jamás invitaron a comer.
A ustedes que se endeudaron y dejaron que otros paguen sus deudas.
A ustedes, oligarcas hijos de puta que ahora tienen la osadía de dejar a la gente sin comida:

ESTO NO VA A DURAR MUCHO.
A QUIÉN LE VAN A VENDER LA SOJA SI LES QUEMAMOS TODOS SUS CAMPOS? DONDE VAN A IR DESPUÉS?
PIENSEN ESTO: CUANDO LA GENTE SE CANSA HACE CUALQUIER COSA...

En eso estamos.

Hace tanto y hace tan poco de aquel amor, esa mujer, aquellos viajes y esos sueños.
He muerto en el camino y he resucitado pero estoy atrapado por su fantasma cuando se terminan los laberintos y las salidas son iguales a las entradas.
Nada queda ya de lo real, sólo unos sueños que se deshojan junto al lago donde mirábamos la luna en otoño y en invierno. O la luna nos miraba a nosotros.
"el ómnibus se ha ido y el amor se ha vencido, quise quedarme pero me fui..."
