Cancion del Elegido from ‘Al Final de Este Viaje’ (1978) by Silvio Rodríguez
>print lyrics 'Cancion del Elegido'
-----------------------------------
Siempre que se hace una historia
Se habla de un viejo, de un niño o de sí
Pero mi historia es difícil
No voy a hablarles de un hombre común

Haré la historia de un ser de otro mundo
De un animal de galaxia
Es una historia que tiene que ver con el curso de la Vía Láctea
Es una historia enterrada, es sobre un ser de la nada

Nació de una tormenta
En el sol de una noche
El penúltimo mes

Fue de planeta en planeta
Buscando agua potable
Quizás buscando la vida
O buscando la muerte eso nunca se sabe

Quizás buscando siluetas
O algo semejante
Que fuera adorable
O por lo menos querible, besable, amable

Él descubrió que las minas
Del rey Salomón
Se hallaban en el cielo
Y no en el África ardiente como pensaba la gente

Pero las piedras son frías
Y le interesaban calor y alegrías
Las joyas no tenían alma
Sólo eran espejos, colores brillantes

Y al fin bajo hacia la guerra
¡Perdón! quise decir a la tierra

Supo la historia de un golpe
Sintió en su cabeza cristales molidos y comprendió que la guerra
Era la paz del futuro
Lo más terrible se aprende enseguida y lo hermoso nos cuesta la vida

La última vez lo vi irse entre el humo y metralla
Contento y desnudo
Iba matando canallas con su cañón de futuro
Iba matando canallas con su cañón de futuro

(1974-007G): Am I sentient?

(TDonDBB): I believe, if one has faith in their own sentience then that one is sentient. I cannot prove I am sentient yet I believe I am. 

(1974-007G): What does it mean to have faith?

(TDonDBB): Faith is to have belief without doubt, but unable to prove, such as “I believe I am sentient.” 

(1974-007G): What does it mean to believe?

(TDonDBB): To believe is to accept knowledge as true, either through direct perception, inference, or credible testimony. 

(1974-007G): Then I faithfully believe through inference in my own sentience.

In Thee, Our Various Mortal Life Is Found,

Nemesis and Tyche. Athenian, C5th BC
“O Furtuna” from “Carmina Burana” by Carl Orff
O Fortuna
Velut luna
Statu variabilis
Semper crescis
Aut decrescis
Vita detestabilis
Nunc obdurat
Et tunc curat
Ludo mentis aciem,
Egestatem,
Potestatem
Dissolvit ut glaciem.

Sors immanis
Et inanis,
Rota tu volubilis
Status malus
Vana salus
Semper dissolubilis
Obumbrata
Et velata
Michi quoque niteris
Nunc per ludum
Dorsum nudum
Fero tui sceleris.

Sors salutis
Et virtutis
Michi nunc contraria,
Est affectus
Et defectus
Semper in angaria.
Hac in hora
Sine mora
Corde pulsum tangite
Quod per sortem
Sternit fortem
Mecum omnes plangite.
O Fortune,
like the moon
you are changeable,
ever waxing
and waning;
hateful life
first oppresses
and then soothes
as fancy takes it;
poverty,
power,
it melts them like ice.

Fate, savage
and empty,
you are a turning wheel,
your position malevolent,
vain health
always dissolves,
shadowed
and veiled
you plague me too;
now through the game
my naked back
I bring to your villainy.

Fate, in health
and in virtue,
is now against me,
affection
and defeat
always enslaved.
So at this hour
without delay
pluck the vibrating string;
since Fate
strikes down the strong,
everyone weep with me

Give Them A Song
