MIRANDO AL SUR
Letra y música: Eladia Blázquez.
Nací un barrio donde el lujo fue un albur
por eso tengo el corazón mirando al sur.
Mi viejo fue una abeja en la colmena,
las manos limpias, el alma buena.
En esa infancia la templanza me forjó,
después la vida mil caminos me tendió
y supe del magnate y del tahúr
por eso tengo el corazón mirando al sur.
Mi barrio fue una planta de jazmín,
la sombra de mi vieja en el jardin,
la dulce fiesta de las cosas más sencillas
y la paz en la gramilla de cara al sol.
Mi barrio fue mi gente que ya no está,
las cosas que ya nunca volverán.
Si desde el día en que me fui con la emoción y con la cruz,
yo sé que tengo el corazón mirando al sur.
La geografia de mi barrio llevo en mí,
será por eso que del todo no me fui.
La esquina, el almacén, el piberío,
los reconozco, son algo mío.
Ahora sé que la distancia no es real
y me descubro en ese punto cardinal,
volviendo a la niñez desde la luz
teniendo siempre el corazón mirando al sur.

MIRANDO AL SUR
Lyrics and music: Eladia Blázquez
I was born in a neighbourhood where luxury was a dace
therefor I have my hearth looking at South.
My oldman was a bee in the hive,
his clean hands, his good soul.
In that childhood the temperance forged me,
after that the life a thousand ways laid me
and I knew the magnate and the gambler,
therefor I have my heart looking at South.
My neighbourhood was a jasmin plant,
my mother's shadow in the garden,
the sweet party of simple things
and the peace in the grass facing the sun.
My neighbourhood was my people, they are not anymore,
the things that will never come back
Since the day I left with my emotion and my cross
I know I have my heart looking at South.
I have my neighbourhood geography inside me,
that is what I never left forever.
The corner, the store, the children,
I recognize, they are mine.
Now I know the distance is not real
and I find myself in this cardinal point,
coming back to childhood from light,
always having my heart looking ant South. |
