Nocturnal Santiago

Santiago Nocturno

I don't know if you rememberya no se si te acuerdas
that I live with my singingque vivo con mi cantar
I walk the cityvoy camino en la ciudad
looking for a destiny and finding happinessbusco un destino y encuentro la felicidad
for a friend who wants the samepara un amigo que quiera lo mismo
and cares for our humanityy cuide nuestra humanidad
that there are no enemiesno que haya enemigos
it doesn't make sense, let's be unitedno tiene sentido, seamos unidos
and think about what's naturaly piensa en lo natural
and our community...y en nuestra comunidad...

I walk on velvety streetscamino sobre calles aterciopeladas
bathed in small lights resembling firefliesbañanas por pequeñas luces parecidas a luciernagas
while I wander through the night, boulevardsmi mentre vaga entre la noche, boulevares
among shadows that seduce my grand poemsentre sombras que seducen mis poemas garrafales

that's how I get inspired by a nocturnal sighasi me inspiro en un nocturno suspiro
Santiago dressed in mourning seeks a destinysantiago vestido de luto asi busca un destino
through dying paths, wandering memoriespor caminos moribundos, recuerdos vagabundos
that pass through their lives in millisecondsque pasan pur su vida milesimas de segundos

if you want to find...the peace...of walkingsi tu quieras encontrar...la paz...de andar

the leaves fall, the wind blowslas hojas caen, el viento sopla
time erases traces that no one notices on the sidewalkel tiempo borra huellas que en la acera nadie nota
the neighborhood cries and its tears floatel barrio llora y su llanto flota
among tears, memories, empty cupsentre lagrimas, recuerdos, vacias copas

on the sidewalk a reflection, a feeling of being watcheden la calzada un reflejo, se siente una mirada
steps are memories,pasos son los recuerdos,
of another restless night,de otra noche agitada,
that sensation of feeling returns to me,vueleve en mi esa sensacion de sentir,
lights hit my faceluces golpean mi cara
cracked walls, wasted hoursmurallas agrietadas, horas paganas
papers and inks, urban poetrypapeles y tintas, poesia urbana
I want to live now if we are crazyquiero ahora vivir si estamos locos
touch the stars, just a little is missingtocar las estrellas, falta solo un poco

I don't know if you rememberya no se si te acuerdas
that I live with my singingque vivo con mi cantar
I walk the cityvoy camino en la ciudad
looking for a destiny and finding happinessbusco un destino y encuentro la felicidad
for a friend who wants the samepara un amigo que quiera lo mismo
and cares for our humanityy cuide nuestra humanidad
that there are no enemiesno que haya enemigos
it doesn't make sense, let's be unitedno tiene sentido, seamos unidos
and think about what's naturaly piensa en lo natural
and our community...y en nuestra comunidad...

I don't want to be clear-headed, I want to find momentsno quiero estar lucido, quiero encontrar momentos
something violent is felt tonight in the centeralgo violento se siente esta noche en el centro
or sighs, as always, a little coldo suspiros, como siempre, un poco frios
that seduce the bohemia that runs through the loves of those lightsque seducen la vohemia que recorre amores de aquellas luces
it hides in the night, have you seen it?en la noche se esconde, lo has visto ya?
have you ever lived what I've always had here?has vivido acaso eso que siempre he tenio yo acá?
because a night is a luxury zoneporque una noche es una zona de lujo
where I write and dance it, as if it were a drawingdonde lo escribo y lo bailo, como si fuera un dibujo
