9 VIDAS
(María Volonté & Kevin Carrel Footer)

Con poemas y un tambor
Me enamoró
Yo lo quería tanto
Cuando partió se quebró mi corazón
Y la ilusión se fue llorando

Frente al abismo en vez de saltar
Con mi guitarra me puse a cantar

Otro que llegó después
Colmó de sed
Mis noches y mi cama
Yo fui su bien y su mal
pero al final
Se fue detrás de otra manzana

Frente al abismo en vez de saltar
Con mi guitarra me puse a cantar

Vivir es empezar de nuevo
Morir y ver que no me muero
Saber que lo importante no es llegar sino viajar
Caer y levantarse luego
Sueños escritos en el cielo
Seguir buscando sola hasta encontrar
Y andar y andar y andar

Supe apenas me miró
Que era ese sol
Aquel que yo esperaba
Pero la muerte celosa lo robó
No le importó cuánto lo amaba

Frente al abismo en vez de saltar
Con mi guitarra me puse a cantar

9 LIVES
(María Volonté & Kevin Carrel Footer)

With his poems and his drum
He made me love him
And I loved him so!
When he went away
He broke my heart
And left my dreams in shreds

Standing at the edge
Guitar in hand
Instead of leaping
I began to sing

Another one who came later
Filled my nights and my bed with thirst
I was his heaven and his hell
But in the end he bit another apple

Standing at the edge
Guitar in hand
Instead of leaping
I began to sing

To live is to start all over again and again
It is to die and discover that I am still alive
To know that the important thing
Is not to get there but to journey
To fall and to get up again
Dreams written on the sky
Searching till the very end
and go on and on and on

I knew as soon as he looked at me
That this one was the one I was waiting for
But jealous death snatched him away
It didn’t care how much I loved him

Standing at the edge
Guitar in hand
Instead of leaping
I began to sing
