Silvio Rodriguez - Cuba

"Silvio...Diré tan sólo que, cuando en un país lejano como este a un artista se le llama por su nombre y sin apellido, como quien habla de un amigo, entonces significa que ese artista ha logrado trascender su propia humanidad.."
Sergio Panizza * Valparaíso * Chile


"Silvio, i´ll say just that, when in a far country like this, an artist is called by his name, and without surname, like when u are talking of a friend, then it minds that this artist has trascend his own humanity.."

And, is true, if you say Silvio, everybody knos him, but, more than that, everybody knows this:
(and, is the first time I see this video, always listen this audio, and makes me cry, as usually)


Ojalá
Hoppefuly




Hopefully, the leaves do not touch the body when falling
so that you can not turn into glass.
Hopefully, the rain ceases to be a miracle to leave your body.
Hopefully, the moon may leave without you.
Let us hope that the land did not you kiss the steps.

Hopefully you will end the constant gaze,
the right word, the perfect smile.
Hopefully something happens that you delete all of a sudden:
a blinding light, a shot of snow.
Hopefully at least take me to death,
not to see you both, for not always see
in every second, all visions:
I hope that you can not touch you or songs

Let us hope that the dawn of not falling into me shout back.
Hopefully, your name will be forgotten that voice.
Hopefully the walls do not retain your tired road noise.
Let us hope that the desire to leave behind you,
your old government of the dead and flowers.

Hopefully you will end the constant gaze,
the right word, the perfect smile.
Hopefully something happens that you delete all of a sudden:

This is one of those songs, that comes from before, that was lived in a diferent time, but, always makes people cry, its a nice song.

Silvio says once:

"And once said that he had begun to compose because I wanted to listen to songs that had not been written. That is strictly true. I was a conscript in a remote military camp, and the night alone with their wishes. It may therefore seem to me those first tracks births most painful of my life. Because, just as he had learned a few notes, he saw that my knowledge was so poor that even remotely reached the voices that I sang desires."

I think that, I don´t have to say more than Silvio., isn´t? fortunately he is bigger than my little words
