Yellow ocher 03:18
It was the end of the afternoon I remember the thrill When I saw the yellow ocher Of the autumn leaves In the sunlight It was the end of the afternoon I remember the thrill When I saw the yellow ocher Of your skin in the sunlight And your eyes in the shadow You were driving next to me

Ceremony 03:55
Hearing the banjo Magical sound Waking my heart Hearing the piano Needing to cry Hearing the voices Sweet revelations Hearing the drums Like a heartbeat I’m still living Still burning My voice for singing My hands for playing I’m coming back My voice for singing My hands for writing I’m coming back Hearing the vibes A newborn child Hearing the brass And the organ A ceremony

I am a spark 03:05
I am a spark A stillborn life I’m a spark A dawning day In between Paralyzed I’m sitting in the dark Lost in sweetness I can’t stand the fight For a better life
5.
Thirty-nine years old Unfit for the world I’m a sad peter pan I’m unaware of myself Unaware of my end I’m a sad Peter Pan I thought I was invincible
6.
Six 03:12
How I love my flat I would like Six rooms more Guitar strings are six Why aren’t they one? How I love my girl She’s the only one On only one string Would it be like that? Play six days a week And don’t ask for more It’s the only thing She told me before
7.
Tonight it’s the end The world is a fiend Come and see me Let’s laugh And drink some wine Let’s dine And rest a while The town is in an uproar People flee in a panic Candles in the night Will soothe our pains And calm our fears Come and see me
8.
Schedules Blue sky Numbers Get high Your words My silence My suffering I was a child Where is my mind? My computer works hard I get drunk sometimes My smile outside My anger inside My feelings forgotten I wake up in the morning Lack of sleep I look myself in the mirror I’m growing old For the first time in my life I’m feeling the taste of death In my mouth
9.
El Faro 02:39
El faro del fin del mundo Lights my sorrow I’ve lost control I’ve lost my soul In the ocean In the mountains In the air My love Where are you now? My love You’re in the ocean My love You’re in the mountains My love You’re in the air
10.
Esperanto 03:20
Take me back To big spaces Lost spaces Take me back To Mother Nature It would be The great adventure The big nothing Take me back To the airports We could wait For planes again And fall asleep To the sound Of melted voices Esperanto
