Ser feliz
como un hombre viejo y sin deudas,
con los saldos cerrados,
y una hija que está lejos en la ciudad grande
ocupada en la nimiedad de su vida
que de vez en cuando se acuerda del hombre
el gran señor
el intocado,
el padre imaginario que hubo en él,
y llama.
Girlie tough ain't enough.
Million Dollar Baby
They talk about faith
but I’ve been in the brothels
not looking for anything, just walking around,
and I’ve seen the unbearable nature of people
without make up
or any excuse.
You think your tough
but you wouldn’t last five minutes in one dark alley of my city.
I’ve walked down the brothels
and each time I went there I was received as a prodigal son
coming to his land, not yet forgotten,
like a man that goes camping
just to remember
before the sight of the pale moon
that he was raised by wolves.
