PEQUEÑO: UNO DE LOS DOS GRANDES AMORES QUE ME QUEDAN DE LOS TRES QUE TENÍA
Tengo una soledad tan concurrida...

Tengo una soledad Tan concurrida
Tan llena de nostalgias Y de rostros de vos
De adioses de hace tiempo
Y besos bienvenidos
De primeras de cambio Y de último vagón
Tengo una soledad Tan concurrida
Que puedo organizarla Como una procesión
Por colores Tamaños Y promesas
Por época Por tacto Y por sabor
Sin un temblor de más
Me abrazo a tus ausencias
Que asisten y me asisten
Con mi rostro de vos
Estoy lleno de sombras De noches y deseos
De risas y de alguna Maldición
Mis huéspedes concurren
Concurren como sueños
Con sus rencores nuevos
Su falta de candor
Yo les pongo una escoba
Tras la puerta
Porque quiero estar solo
Con mi rostro de vos
Pero el rostro de vos Mira a otra parte
Con sus ojos de amor Que ya no aman
Como víveres Que buscan a su hambre
Miran y miran...
Benedetti

Sade nos ha acompañado en nuestras largas jornadas de trabajo, a las 20, 21, 22 o aún más tarde, mientras buscamos diferencias, cuadramos, preparamos cotizaciones, liquidaciones de sueldo, su voz suave y sensual es un alivio a nuestro cansancio; entre tanto número podemos dejarnos llevar por unos segundos y ya no son estas cuatro paredes sino el mar, una cabaña en una isla tropical, un traguito, la persona perfecta, quizás también un lugar sofisticado, una piscina de noche tipo Lost in Traslation (Perdidos en Tokio)...

Estos son todos temas para cerrar los ojos y echar a volar la imaginación.

Kiss Of Life

There must have been an angel by my side
Something heavenly led me to you
Look at the sky
It's the color of love
There must have been an angel by my side
Something heavenly came down from above
He led me to you
He led me to you
He built a bridge to your heart
All the way
How many tons of love inside
I can't say

When I was led to you
I knew you were the one for me
I swear the whole world could feel my heartbeat
When I lay eyes on you
Ay ay ay
You wrapped me up in
The color of love

You gave me the kiss of life
Kiss of Life
You gave me the kiss that's like
The kiss of life

Wasn't it clear from the start
Look the sky is full of love
Yeah the sky is full of love
He built a bridge to your heart
All the way
How many tons of love inside
I can't say

You gave me the kiss of life
Kiss of Life
You gave me the kiss that's like
The kiss of life

You gave me the kiss of life
Kiss of Life
You gave me the kiss that's like
The kiss of life

You gave me the kiss of life
Kiss of Life
You gave me the kiss that's like
The kiss of life

You wrapped me up in the color of love
Must have been an angel come down from above
Giving me love yeah
Giving me love yeah

You gave me the kiss of life
Kiss of Life
You gave me the kiss of life
The kiss of life

Cherish The Day

You're ruling the way that I move
And I breathe your air
You only can rescue me
This is my prayer
If you were mine
If you were mine
I wouldn't want to go to heaven

I cherish the day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
You won't catch me running
You're ruling the way that I move
You take my air

You show me how deep love can be

You're ruling the way that I move
And I breathe your air
You only can rescue me
This is my prayer

I Cherish the Day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
You won't catch me running
I Cherish the Day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
Won't run away


You show me how deep love can be
You show me how deep love can be
This is my prayer

I Cherish the Day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
Won't run away
Won't shy

I Cherish the Day
I won't go astray

I Cherish the Day
I Cherish the Day
I Cherish the Day
I Cherish the Day
I Cherish the Day

Please Send Me Someone To Love

Heaven please send to all mankind,
Understanding and peace of mind.
But, if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love.

Show all the world how to get along,
Peace will enter when hate is gone.
But, if it's not asking too much,
Please send me someone to love.

I lay awake night and ponder world troubles.
My answer is always the same.
That unless men put an end to all of this,
Hate will put the world in a flame, (oh) what a shame.
Just because I'm in misery.
I'm not begging for no sympathy.
But if it's not asking too much,
Just send me someone to love.

Heaven please send to all mankind,
Understanding and peace of mind.
But if it's not asking too much,
Please send me someone to love.
HMMMMMmmmmmm

Sweetest Taboo

If I tell you
If I tell you now
Will you keep on
Will you keep on loving me
If I tell you
If I tell you how I feel
Will you keep bringing out the best in me

You give me, you give me the sweetest taboo
You give me, you're giving me the sweetest taboo
Too good for me

There's a quiet storm
And it never felt like this before
There's a quiet storm
That is you
There's a quiet storm
And it never felt this hot before
Giving me something that's taboo
(Sometimes I think you're just too good for me)

You give me the sweetest taboo
That's why I'm in love with you (with you)
You give me the sweetest taboo
Too good for me
(Sometimes I think you're just too good for me)

I'd do anything for you, I'd stand out in the rain
Anything you want me to do, don't let it slip away

There's a quiet storm
And it never felt like this before
There's a quiet storm
I think it's you
There's a quiet storm
And I never felt this hot before
Giving me something that's taboo

You give me the (you give me, you give me the)
Sweetest taboo
That's why I'm in love with you (with you)
You give me, keep giving me the sweetest taboo
Too good for me

You've got the biggest heart
Sometimes I think you're just too good for me
Every day is christmas, and every night is new year's Eve

Will you keep on loving me
Will you keep on, will you keep on
Bringing out the best in me

Smooth Operator

He's laughing with another girl
And playing with another heart.
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache.
He's loved in seven languages.
Diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky.
Heaven help him, when he falls.

Diamond life, lover boy.
We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy.
City lights and business nights.
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights.

No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
When sentiment is left to chance.
No place to be ending but somewhere to start.

No need to ask.
He's a smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator.

Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.

Face to face, each classic case.
We shadow box and double cross,
Yet need the chase.

A license to love, insurance to hold.
Melts all your memories and change into gold.
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold.

No need to ask.
He's a smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator.

Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.

Smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator...

--- extra ---
He's laughing with another girl
And playing with another heart.
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache.
He's loved in seven languages.
Diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky.
Heaven help him, when he falls.

Your Love Is King

Your love is king
Crown you in my heart
Your love is king
[...] took part
Your kissing ring
Round and round and round my head
Touching the very part of me
Making my soul sing
Tearing the very heart of me
I'm crying out for more

Your love is king
Crown you in my heart
Your love is king
You're the ruler of my heart
Your kissing ring
Round and round and round my head
Touching the very part of me
It's making my soul sing
I'm crying out for more
Your love is king

I'm coming up, I'm coming
You're making me dance, inside

Your love is king
Crown you in my heart
Your love is king
[...] took part
Your kissing ring
Round and round and round my head
Touching the very part of me
It's making my soul sing
Tearing the very heart of me
I'm crying out for more

Touching the very part of me
Making my soul sing
I'm crying out for more
Your love is king

This is no lying thing
This is no sad and sorry dream
This is no lying thing
Your love, your love is real...

Love Is Stronger Than Pride

I won't pretend that I intend to stop living
I won't pretend I'm good at forgiving
But I can't hate you
Although I have tried

I still really really love you
Love is stronger than pride
I still really really love you

I won't pretend that I intend to stop living
I won't pretend I'm good at forgiving
But I can't hate you
Although I have tried

I still really really love you
Love is stronger than pride
I still really really love you

Sitting here wasting my time
Would be like
Waiting for the sun to rise
It's all too clear things come and go
Sitting here waiting for you
Would be like waiting for winter
It's gonna be cold
There may even
Be snow

I still really really love you
Love is stronger than pride
I still really really love you
Love is stronger
I still really love you
Love is stronger than pride

No Ordinary Love

I gave you all the love I got
I gave you more than I could give
I gave you love
I gave you all that I have inside
And you took my love
You took my love

Didn't I tell you
What I believe
Did somebody say that
A love like that won't last
Didn't I give you
All that I've got to give baby

I keep crying
I keep crying for you
There's nothing like you and I baby

This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love

When you came my way
You brightened every day
With your sweet smile

(Repeat all)

Un nuevo día en Santiago de Chile, la primavera está trayendo consigo todas las estaciones, el día domingo tuvimos lluvia durante el día, ayer la comuna de Santiago estuvo soleada mientras en otros lugares la tarde se oscureció, luego vinieron los truenos, relámpagos, lluvia y granizos. Cuando llegué alrededor de las 20:00 Hrs. hacía bastante frío, pero afortunadamente me encontré con la estufa prendida y todo el calor del hogar. Como a las 24:00 Hrs. se puso a llover de nuevo y hoy todo amaneció demasiado mojado pero con un sol resplandeciente, el aire limpio, la cordillera magnífica. Santiago se veía amable, Santiago de día, especialmente de mañana de primavera es otra cosa, el viaje en metro es el principio de un día probablemente atareado para oficinistas y un sinnúmero de estudiantes. Yo me pregunto habrá campo laboral para tantos jóvenes esperanzados, para tantas carreras especialmente universitarias que se han inventado? Cuántos quedan en el camino? Podrá el pequeño cumplir sus sueños? Cuáles serán sus sueños en un año más, en dos años más? Me parece incierto el futuro para la juventud, estamos en un país supuestamente muy bien evaluado en el exterior, en muchos aspectos; un país que ha conseguido importantes logros económicos en el último tiempo, pero lo que percibe la gente común no es así, hay muchos jóvenes capacitados esperando una oportunidad que resulta inalcanzable. Arriba el ánimo! la frase que me identifica es "Dios proveerá", o "Donde se cierra una puerta, Dios abre una ventana"
Subí al metro y frente a mí una niña muy blanca, de pelo muy negro, perfectamente maquillada, muy linda, toda vestida de negro, la miraba de reojo y la encontré perfecta para una película gótica. El resto de la gente era corriente.
Como ha sido usual en las últimas semanas, nos preparamos un perfecto desayuno para darnos el impulso necesario para empezar un nuevo día de trabajo.

One of my favorite songs

You Get What You Give
Wake up kids
We've got the dreamers disease
Age 14 we got you down on your knees
So polite, you're busy still saying please
Fri-enemies, who when you're down ain't your friend
Every night we smash their Mercedes-Benz
First we run and then we laugh till we cry
But when the night is falling
and you cannot find the light
If you feel your dream is dying
Hold tight
You've got the music in you
Don't let go
You've got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don't give up
You've got a reason to live
Can't forget you only get what you give
Four a.m. we ran a miracle mile
were flat broke but hey we do it in style
The bad rich
God's flying in for your trial
(chorus)
This whole damn world can fall apart
You'll be ok follow your heart
You're in harms way
I'm right behind
Now say youre mine
(chorus)
Fly high
What's real can't die
You only get what you give
Just dont be afraid to leave
Health insurance rip off lying FDA big bankers buying
Fake computer crashes dining
Cloning while they're multiplying
Fashion mag shoots
with the aid of 8 dust brothers Beck, Hanson
Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson
You're all fakes
Run to your mansions
Come around
We'll kick your ass in!
Don't let go
One dance left
(unsaid lyrics from liner) Championed by a soulless media misleading
people unaware they're bleeding
No one with a brain is believing
It's so sad you lost the meaning
Never knew it anyway
Human natures so predictable
I'm a fool to do your dirty work whoa, whoa
