Sixty Days

Honey, the way you play guitar makes me feel so, makes me feel so masochistic. The way you go down low deep into the neck and I would do anything, and I would do anything and Patty Hearst, you're standing there in front of the Symbionese Liberation Army flag with your legs spread, I was wondering will you get it every night from a black revolutionary man and his women or whether you really did and now that you're on the run what goes on in your mind, your sisters they sit by the window, you know your mama doesn't sit and cry and your daddy, well you know what your daddy said, Patty, you know what your daddy said, Patty, he said, he said, he said, "Well, sixty days ago she was such a lovely child, now here she is with a gun in her hand."

te

te veo desfigurada junto a mi
me encantan tus estimulos
tu manera de encarar la muerte
tus deseos maravillosos donde no formo parte
eres una pura mentira
mi mente crea trucos, te inventa
te sugiere
te invoca
te ve
te maltrata
me maltrato

I'm a humble guy with a healthy desire

I've been tired //She's a real left winger 'cause she been down south And held peasants in her arms /She said "I could tell you a story that could make you cry"
"What about you?" /I said "Me too" /"I could tell you a story that will make you cry"
And she sighed "Ah" /I said "I wanna be a singer like Lou Reed" /"I like Lou Reed" she said sticking her tongue in my ear /"Let's go, let's sit, let's talk" /"Politics go so good with beer" /"And while we're at it baby, why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears?" /I said "Loosing my penis to a whore with disease" /"Just kidding" I said /"Losing my life to a whore with disease" /She said "Excuse me please?" /I said "Losing my life to a whore with disease" /I said "Please... I'm a humble guy with a healthy desire" /"Don't give me no shit because..." /I've been tired /I tell a tale of a girl, but I call her a woman /She's a little bit older than me /Strong legs, strong face, voice like milk, breasts like a cluster of grapes /I can't escape the ways she raise me /She'll make you feel like Solomon be one of your babies even if you had no one /(And while we're at it baby, why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears?) /Took my sleep after setting my loins on fire /But that's OK because... I've been tired

El mundo es tuyo

La Eternidad // La vida se nos va /otra esperanza ha muerto /y no tenerte entre mis brazos /me hace sentir enfermo /la verdad es que hoy /te escribo para no tener que recordarte /salvación del alma sin remedio/ podríamos navegar juntos a través del mundo /sobre el mundo /se que eso nunca nos va a pasar /tuve un sueño ayer /D. H. Lawrence junior /tres cuchillos mar brillante /sobre el horizonte /hombre poeta y Dios /no puedo yo seguir alimentando /mi destino con tu propia suerte /ilusiones /se proyecta mi vida /desde aquí a la eternidad

Wondering boy poet

Wondering boy poet // Dream on child of change /Throw your javelin through the sun /Pierce the heart of everyone /Though we push to slave the days /This is not reality, this is just formality /The cup is only being filled /For a chance to have it spilled /Flowing just like the days /Sailing--just like the days...

A song for you

Superstar // Long ago and oh so far away /I fell in love with you before the second show /Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear /But youre not really here /Its just the radio /Dont you remember you told me you loved me baby /You said youd be coming back this way again baby /Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby, I love you I really do /Loneliness is a such a sad affair /And I can hardly wait to be with you again /What to say to make you come again /Come back to me again /And play your sad guitar

Disorder

Warm mist //Just drifting through this warm mist /Just like drifting out to sea /The clouds have come to earth now /Just like one day she came to me /Oh! and now I'm far away /Things did change, I went away /No more laughter, no more tears /A bird sings above somewhere /Shouting out it's really free /But she took away my soul and things /Pointed out the way to sea /Without a north, without a sail /Doomed to wander, doomed to fail /On the sea that's always gray /You might remember Claudia /She drifted till she sank, so sad /She took with her, her lover /He was the only thing she had /But I don't want to go that way /Oh Lord, can't I have a little say? /Don't let me die surrounded by this gray /I'm still drifting through this warm mist /Just like drifting out to sea /The clouds have come to earth now /Just like one day she came to me /Oh! and now I'm far away /Can't I have a little say? /Without a north, without a sail /Doomed to wander, doomed to fail /Oh Lord, can't I have a little say? /Don't let me die surrounded by this gray

Caminos del espejo

I
Y sobre todo mirar con inocencia. Como si no pasara nada, lo cual es cierto.

II
Pero a ti quiero mirarte hasta que tu rostro se aleje de mi miedo como un pájaro del borde filoso de la noche.

III
Como una niña de tiza rosada en un muro muy viejo súbitamente borrada por la lluvia.

IV
Como cuando se abre una flor y revela el corazón que no tiene.

V
Todos los gestos de mi cuerpo y de mi voz para hacer de mí la ofrenda, el ramo que abandona el viento en el umbral.

VI
Cubre la memoria de tu cara con la máscara de la que serás y asusta a la niña que fuiste.

VII
La noche de los dos se dispersó con la niebla. Es la estación de los alimentos fríos.

VIII
Y la sed, mi memoria es de la sed, yo abajo, en el fondo, en el pozo, yo bebía, recuerdo.

IX
Caer como un animal herido en el lugar que iba a ser de revelaciones.

X
Como quien no quiere la cosa. Ninguna cosa. Boca cosida. Párpados cosidos. Me olvidé. Adentro el viento. Todo cerrado y el viento adentro.

XI
Al negro sol del silencio las palabras se doraban.

XII
Pero el silencio es cierto. Por eso escribo. Estoy sola y escribo. No, no estoy sola. Hay alguien aquí que tiembla.

XIII
Aun si digo sol y luna y estrella me refiero a cosas que me suceden. ¿Y qué deseaba yo?
Deseaba un silencio perfecto.
Por eso hablo.

XIV
La noche tiene la forma de un grito de lobo.

XV
Delicia de perderse en la imagen presentida. Yo me levanté de mi cadáver, yo fui en busca de quien soy. Peregrina de mí, he ido hacia la que duerme en un país al viento.

XVI
Mi caída sin fin a mi caída sin fin en donde nadie me aguardó pues al mirar quién me aguardaba no vi otra cosa que a mí misma.

XVII
Algo caía en el silencio. Mi última palabra fue yo pero me refería al alba luminosa.

XVIII
Flores amarillas constelan un círculo de tierra azul. El agua tiembla llena de viento.

XIX
Deslumbramiento del día, pájaros amarillos en la mañana. Una mano desata tinieblas, una mano arrastra la cabellera de una ahogada que no cesa de pasar por el espejo. Volver a la memoria del cuerpo, he de volver a mis huesos en duelo, he de comprender lo que dice mi voz.


Alejandra Pizarnik

The story of my life

Half a person //Call me morbid, call me pale /I've spent six years on your trail /Six long years
/On your trail /Call me morbid, call me pale /I've spent six years on your trail /Six full years of my life on your trail /And if you have five seconds to spare /Then I'll tell you the story of my life : /Sixteen, clumsy and shy /I went to London and I /I booked myself in at the Y ... W.C.A.
/I said : "I like it here - can I stay ? /I like it here - can I stay ? /Do you have a vacancy /For a Back-scrubber?" /She was left behind, and sour /And she wrote to me, equally dour /She said : "In the days when you were /Hopelessly poor /I just liked you more..." /And if you have five seconds to spare /Then I'll tell you the story of my life : /Sixteen, clumsy and shy /That's the story of my life /Sixteen, clumsy and shy /The story of my life /That's the story of my life

Who loves the sun

Who loves the sun /Who cares that/ it makes plants grow /Who cares what it does/Since you broke my heart /Who loves the wind /Who cares that it makes breezes /Who cares what it does /Since you broke my heart /Pa Pa Pa Pa /Who loves the sun /Not everyone /Who cares that it makes flowers /Who cares that it makes showers /Since you broke my heart /Who loves the sun /Who cares that it is shining /Who cares what it does /Since you broke my heart
