1977

1970, 1970
1970, 1970

I was born one day in June
In the year 77
Planet Mercury
And the year of the snake
Without a patent
Tattooed on my forehead
That in my mother's womb
Marked the next step
It makes me cry
Without anesthesia on the stretcher
My father only said it's Ana Maria
If it would be the first cry
That would test me
Burning the wounds
And giving me the battery
I used to be like an open book then
But I read the small print of the text
Like an architect
Building every effect
Correct, incorrect, I know how to learn everything about it
Knowing that some people
Want harm
Climbing steps
It takes time, it takes years
With my stuffed animal watching the everyday
Drawings transformed
And winter into great summer
Dad gave me under my insistence
Game, trying to blame you and receive it
But in the cartridge they competed
And that's when I felt my first helplessness

1970 shhh
1970 shhh
1970 shhh

1977 don't tell me no
That one feels it
Everything that changes will make it different
In the year the snake was born shhh (repeat)

My adolescence
Was a bizarre stage
The body is a battery
And the head a guitar
The orchestra narronato
Nothing broken for the gaze
Of a girl who only carves swords
Hormone shot
Overpopulated without forms
In which seasons change
You walk in crossroads
Each one is their abode
Preparing the bait
The sacred devilry
With an angry look
My line, the truth
Never sought its chair
My search was just
A process of pure battery
Pupil of a poet
That marked our saliva
In the mountain range that looked at the exit
The military stop of monotonous step
Polychrome colors
Uniforms of little tone
Detonated my questioning
The voice sounded yes
My first rhyme that sounded
And got me involved
My search was not for me a matter of the stage
It was something necessary
That already marked my failure
So all
More than necessary
It was when I understood
That everyone wants to be a corsair.

1970 shhh
1970 shhh
1970 shhh

1977 don't tell me no
That one feels it
Everything that changes will make it different
In the year the snake was born shhh (repeat)
