Fuego soy, aire compacto, no he de durar = Fire am I, compact air, I will not last (ταιρίαζει και στο εικονάκι)
Απο ένα τραγούδι που μου 'χει κολλήσει, τραγούδι της Lila Downs σε ποίηση το μεξικανού Jaime Sabines.
Mi Corazon Me Recuerda
Music by David Haro. Poem, Lyrics by Jaime Sabines
Published by David Haro
English translation by Lila Downs:
My heart reminds me that I must cry for the time that has past, the time passing now.
Water from the time that passes, death below,
falls below, to not return
I die every day
without knowing, and my
body is gyrating
in the palm of death
as a spinning top of truth.
Thread of my blood, who will entangle you?
Water I am in the form of a body
the earth, she will drink.
Fire am I, compact air,
I will not last.
The wind upon the earth,
knocks down the dead, over the ocean
it plants them in holes of sand,
throws on lime.
I am the time that is passing,
it is my death, the one going
in the clocks ticking backwards.
