Hive Openmic week 83 - Cover Song Vida y Otras Cuestiones / Life and Other Issues Silvio Rodríguez by @davidcentenor.

You can not imagine what I have suffered in trying to sing this beautiful song by Silvio Rodríguez, I am since Monday making the greatest effort but a Martian flu enveloped my body and although I did not turn red like the planet, fever and general malaise ended day by day with the spirit of participating, it's never too late, today I woke up a little better and finally came out, not as I wanted but satisfied, enjoy the musicality and melody of this song full of reflections, I really like the penultimate verse where he tells that a dog died of a massive heart attack, and that monologue of saying so many profound things regarding death, life is accompanied by death and the gravedigger, I send you an immense hug, I love you #hive.

Vida y Otras Cuestiones

Silvio Rodríguez

Quiénes levantan las piedras que luego
son techos de historias disímiles.
Quienes construyen calzadas que enlazan
las islas y los continentes.

Quiénes armaron las aves que nos posan
en mundos distantes.
Quién vertebró
los sonidos que preñan mis manos.
Cuanta faena invisible hace sol.

Quiénes iran conmigo
quien fue feliz, quién se perdió
solo y sin hijos.
Después de cuantos resulto yo.

Vida y otras cuestiones
acaso la ronda de nunca y de siempre
sea que percibo o que sueqo

las sombras que animan al mundo latente

sea la justicia pospuesta
la suma que falta de lo diferente
o será una fiebre de Angeles
contraida accidentalmente.

Donde gateo crezco
que lecho usé para mi amor
que vidrio roto,fue ventanal
de una canción.

Vida y otras cuestiones
acaso mi vicio más viejo y reciente
sea que vivo en país, latitud y
universo
o sea comunmente.

Hoy se me ha muerto otro perro
esta vez de un infarto masivo.
Como sabrá
la cerveza que el sepulturero
se beberá
cuando acabe de darme abrigo.

Life and Other Issues

Silvio Rodríguez

Who lifts the stones that then
they are ceilings of dissimilar stories.
Those who build roads that link
the islands and the continents.

Who armed the birds that pose us
in distant worlds.
Who structured
the sounds that get my hands pregnant.
How much invisible work is sunny.

Who will go with me
who was happy, who got lost
alone and without children.
After how many I turn out

Life and other issues
perhaps the round of never and always
whether I perceive or dream

the shadows that animate the latent world

justice postponed
the missing sum of the different
or it will be an Angel fever
accidentally contracted.

Where I crawl I grow
what bed I used for my love
that broken glass,was window
of a song

Life and other issues
perhaps my oldest and most recent vice
whether I live in country, latitude and
universe
that is, commonly.

Today another dog has died
this time from a massive heart attack.
As you know
the beer that the gravedigger
will be drunk
when he finishes giving me a coat.
