Wally Walrus Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 To me, this is like hearing Freewheeling Bob Dylan. A Genius, a simple man, an everyday fighter and an honest composer. I present you Cartola: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjBZBhx4CAI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartola I'll do my best to translate the lyrics: "It's still early, darling You barely started to understand life Already announcing your leaving Without even knowing the path to take Listen to me, sweetie Although I know you've made your mind In every corner you lose a little of your life In a short time you will not be what you are Listen carefully, darling Pay attention the world is a windmill Will crush your so selfish dreams Will turn your illusions into dust Pay attention, sweetie Of every love you'll inherit only the cinism When you notice you'll be walking on the edge of a cliff The abism that you caved with your own feet" They say this song was composed for his daughter, who had recentely turned into a prostitute. It's one of my favorite songs of all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
