I sing what you loved, my life
\nSo you’ll come closer and listen, my life
\nSo you’ll remember the world where you lived
\nAs it grows late I’m singing, my shadow.<\/p>\n
I don’t want to stay silent, my life
\nWithout my faithful cry, how could you find me?
\nWhat sign would declare me, my life?<\/p>\n
I’m the same one who was yours, my life
\nNot slow or delayed or lost
\nCome at nightfall, my life
\nCome remembering a song, my life
\nIf you recognize that it’s a song you learned
\nAnd if my name you remember.<\/p>\n
I wait for you at no place and no time
\nDon’t fear night or fog or rainstorms
\nCome on or off the pathway
\nCall me to where you are, my soul
\nAnd walk straight to me, my companion.<\/p>\n
translated from Spanish by Jodey Bateman<\/p>\n
Canto Que Amabas<\/p>\n
Yo canto lo que t\u00fa amabas, vida m\u00eda,
\npor si te acercas y escuchas, vida m\u00eda,
\npor si te acuerdas del mundo que viviste,
\nal aterdecer yo canto, sombra m\u00eda.<\/p>\n
Yo no quiero enmudecer, vida m\u00eda.
\n\u00bfC\u00f3mo sin mi grito fiel me hallar\u00edas?
\n\u00bfCu\u00e1l se\u00f1al, cu\u00e1l me declara, vida m\u00eda?<\/p>\n
Soy la misma que fue tuya, vida m\u00eda.
\nNi lenta ni trascordada ni perdida.
\nAcude al anochecer, vida m\u00eda,
\nven recordando un canto, vida m\u00eda,
\nsi la canci\u00f3n reconoces de aprendida
\ny si mi nombre recuerdas todav\u00eda.<\/p>\n
Te espero sin plazo y sin tiempo.
\nNo temas noche, nebline ni aguacero.
\nAcude con sendero o sin sendero.
\nLl\u00e1mame adonde t\u00fa eres, alma m\u00eda,
\ny marcha recto hacia m\u00ed, compa\u00f1ero.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
