La Luz de La Manzana
Luis Alberto Spinetta
The Light Of The Apple
I know that I'm alive
And I fly at rest, drinking the sap of solitude
While the world
Sinks away completely
I no longer want this milky cross
Savior and Montecristo
All on the same cliff
Today we celebrate the Mummy Year
With all the light of the apple
With all the light of the apple
I want to see everything
Everything, even death
To see that we live to be happy
Outside there's a wind
A sequencer wind
It eats the souls
It eats without reason
An empty street
Where nothing remains
Where only the rain will return
With all the light of the apple
With all the light of the apple
The night escapes without knowing why
The bodies stay inside the cuckoo
And I spin a thousand times on the threads of a cord
While the world, spins in Eden
Today I receive my father for the first time
I give birth to my mother for the first time
My whole life slides across six strings
It rises and throws itself upward again
While outside, the children guide us
They lead the world to the other side
I want you to know that I hide within me
Identical bodies for an experiment
Standing like a lobster upon the plain
Tea of everything horrible in this world
A Moon in Atacama
Falls from every branch
I feel them calling me without sound
With all the confidence!
