we all love music

poetry goes hand-in-hand with music. we don't just love music because of its sound, but of meaning, memories, life... how it knocks your soul, how it enters your body and soothes you... simply irresistable...





Moscas en la Casa
Shakira

mis dias sin ti son tan oscuros
tan largos tan grises
mis dias sin ti
mis dias sin ti son tan absurdos
tan agrios tan duros
mis dias sin ti
mis dias sin ti no tienen noches
si alguna aparece
es inutil dormir
mis dias sin ti son un derroche
las horas no tienen principio, ni fin

Coro:

tan faltos de aire
tan llenos de nada
chatarra inservible
basura en el suelo
moscas en la casa

mis dias sin ti son como un cielo
sin lunas plateadas
ni rastros de sol
mis dias sin ti son solo un eco
que siempre repite
la misma cancion

Coro:

tan faltos de aire
tan llenos de nada
chatarra inservible
basura en el suelo
moscas en la casa

pateando las piedras
aun sigo esperando que vuelvas conmigo
aun sigo buscando en las caras de ancianos
pedazos de niño
cazando motivos que me hagan creer
que aun me encuentro con vida
mordiendo mis uñas
ahogandome en llanto
extrañandote tanto
mis dias sin ti
como duelen mis dias sin ti
Flies in the House

my days without you are so dark,
so long, so gray,
my days without you
my days without you are so absurd,
so bitter, so tough,
my days without you,
my days without you don't have nights,
if someone appears,
it's useless to sleep,
my days without you are an excess,
the hours don't have a beginning, or end

Chorus:

so short of air,
so filled with nothing,
useless junk,
trash on the floor,
flies in the house

my days without you are like a sky,
without silvery moons,
nor traces of the sun,
my days without you are only an echo,
that always repeats,
the same song

Chorus:

so short of air,
so filled with nothing,
useless junk,
trash on the floor,
flies in the house

stumble on the rocks,
still i keep waiting that you'll return to me,
still i keep looking in the faces of the old,
bits of a child,
hunting reasons that make me believe,
that still i meet with life,
biting my fingernails,
drowing in my tears,
missing you so much,
my days without,
oh how they hurt, my days without you
