Yo Soy Juan

I am Juan, the last one to appear
I am the son of blood
I put only the soul inside me
I can be the wind that caresses the meadows
I can be the river of the sea
I can be the flight of birds
Although a strong blow opened a trench in me
I will flood you with laughter with the laughter I have left

Because God was not there where I was born
God was not there where I was born.

I am Juan, the last one to appear
All the shadows have already danced
Around and inside me
I never tasted other breasts
Than those that fed my cry
I carry your scents inside
Since you were my shelter
Although I am the son of punishment and rigor
I will put my chest to a heart that got sick

Because God was not there where I was born
God was not there where I was born

I am Juan, the last one to appear
My blood with prayers
Prays where there are no Christs
I embrace your arms and speak with voices in secret
I cry your tears with my eyes wide open
And although I came out of a pit of burial and dirt
I will proclaim loudly and mend the memory

Because God was not there where I was born
God was not there where I was born

I am Juan, the last one to appear
I am the son of the blood that guides me on the paths
I sing my lullaby and I grieve the pain myself
I carry your name inside, I put on and take off dreams
And although they have only killed me a little
I will look for the words to tell you and shout

God was not there where I was born
God was not there where I was born
God was not there where I was born
God was not there where I was born
God was not there where I was born
