Do you wonder unsown,
beneath evening trees,
as if you'll ever know,
remembering those photos,
of your family,
spread all over now blown,
in dusty places around,
dancing like the breeze,
down our street our town,
and that one of your Da,
the fellow he seized,
Mother's words now Pa,
looked after, time shown,
Sunday suits clean,
houses bought,money down,
starched shirt, reposed,
an army at ease,
large hands still foreign,
to that history.

Will you spend,
a life of pain,
trying to defend,
or learn to give,
by careful ways,
make a shift,
blow onto life,
where fire makes trade,
in difficult times,
don't act in holy cradle,
within your reign,
all flames are wakes,
what can you say,
dressed in cellophane,
sheltered from rain,
you can buck the trend,
chained to your gains,
your love expend,
to greater days.

Ok, watch me dance,
what you do with lovers,
who know about finance,
but have no peace,
with all your troubles,
your features ill at ease,
your broad brimmed hat,
placed next to Rioja,
dark glasses,poor Caritas,
you suck on Gambas,
with a raging tolerance,
shout Hijos de Huelva,
at unshaven waiters,
who run for cover,
are my legs the shakers,
that make you prance,
our life left to suffer,
carry on great artisan,
venerate your mother.

You tear me apart,
i'm the fool you say,
you're not so smart,
to fly my web,
or hold my face,
say it's in my head,
you look at the moon,
ask wouldn't it be great,
to live in Vera Cruz,
my sanctity gone,
she's poised but waits,
in distance alone,
the psychiatrist in her, .
swears emotion is blackmail,
i'll sell my shares,
my wrinkled parts,
i firmly state,
are for your heart,
she smiles,hesitates.

Orestes
When you waved ta ra,
tried to make me shiver,
i died at that bar,
what you said was rotten,
your love of ports and rivers,
from your battered car,
this lonely beach in my head,
your stories all delivered,
bottles, tar, tidal wood,
your strings of denials,
between carpets as my lover,
left as reminder, a tide,
to forget me when i thirst,
or a tale remembered,
that you come first,
don't disturb lands of la la,
or say love’s your ember,
Santa Fe, Kobe, Antofagasta,
somewhere you'll go under.

Don't leave it for someone else,
at the house of the spirit,
tell lies seal your depths,
have me crying in your debt,
pushed to my limits,
perish that awful image,
to be like canvas flesh,
bones chilled like a relic,
loved only by my friends,
nail a horse in middle distance,
wait while thirst is gritted,
be the blessings of my drift,
show concern my every instant,
escape by ship with killers,
take decisions on the torrent,
rejoice with hidden incense,
circle your life that minute,
hands raised wind swept,
you have my ticket.
