Being an Artist

Dave Bolaño

Ser Artista

Ser artista es disparar sin balas
Es ver vida en lo muerto y es volar sin alas
Es siempre estar de pie, aunque ya no tengas ganas
Es poder ver lo bueno, aunque se esté en las malas

Ser artista es hacer una historia, incluso si tu historia ya llegó a su fin
Ser artista es creer en la gloria al empacar tus sueños en un maletín
Ser artista viajar contra el viento cuando el firmamento no pinta tan bien
Ser artista es rimar sentimientos usando elementos que más nadie ve

Ser artista es follar con ganas
Siempre creerle al tiempo aunque ya tengas canas
Es hacer que las noches sean tus mañanas
Lograr que tus ojeras vivan como hermanas

Ser artista es más que ser la escoria de lo que presumen ser gente de bien
Ser artista no tenerle miedo a tocar esa puerta que tocaron cien
Ser artista es empezar de nuevo cuando llevas tiempo y aún te dicen ¿quien?
Ser artista y que el cuerpo resista aunque el mundo te insista en ser más como él

Ser artista es también
Siempre ir al revés del tren
Y creer en ti aunque cien digan que no
Es poner color en ti
Aunque hoy blanco y negro estés
Es que el mundo sienta oyéndote la voz

Ser artista es esquivar las balas
De los contratos crazy que cortan tus alas
Crear una coraza por si te resbalas
Y si se acaba el aire tú vuelves y exhalas
Ser artista es hacer que una letra sane el corazón de aquel que no está bien
Ser artista es volver optimista hasta el más pesimista ponerlo de pie

Ser artista es también
Siempre ir al revés del tren
Y creer en ti aunque cien digan que no
Es poner color en ti
Aunque hoy blanco y negro estés
Es que el mundo sienta oyéndote la voz

Being an Artist

Being an artist is shooting without bullets
It's seeing life in the dead and flying without wings
It's always standing, even when you don't feel like it
It's being able to see the good, even in bad times

Being an artist is creating a story, even if your story has already ended
Being an artist is believing in glory when packing your dreams in a suitcase
Being an artist is traveling against the wind when the sky doesn't look so good
Being an artist is rhyming feelings using elements that no one else sees

Being an artist is fucking with passion
Always trusting time even if you have gray hair
It's making the nights your mornings
Making your dark circles live like sisters

Being an artist is more than being the scum of what they claim to be good people
Being an artist is not being afraid to knock on that door that a hundred others have knocked on
Being an artist is starting over when you've been around for a while and they still ask 'who are you?'
Being an artist and making your body resist even when the world insists on you being more like it

Being an artist is also
Always going against the train
And believing in yourself even if a hundred say no
It's adding color to yourself
Even if today you're in black and white
It's making the world feel your voice

Being an artist is dodging bullets
From crazy contracts that clip your wings
Creating a shield in case you slip
And if the air runs out, you come back and exhale
Being an artist is making a lyric heal the heart of those who are not well
Being an artist is becoming optimistic even for the most pessimistic and helping them stand up

Being an artist is also
Always going against the train
And believing in yourself even if a hundred say no
It's adding color to yourself
Even if today you're in black and white
It's making the world feel your voice
