Lyrics
Letra de ''Historia de la silla''
En el borde del camino hay una silla
La rapia merodea aquel lugar
La casaca del amigo esta tendida
El amigo no se sienta a descansar
Sus zapatos de gastados son espejos
Que le queman la garganta con el sol
Y a travs de su cansancio pasa un viejo
Que le seca con la sombra el sudor
En la punta del amor viaja el amigo
En la punta ms aguda que hay que ver
Esa punta que lo mismo cava en tierra
Que en las ruinas, que en un rastro de mujer
Es por eso que es soldado y es amante
Es por eso que es madera y es metal
Es por eso que lo mismo siembra rosas
Que razones de bandera y arsenal
El que tenga una cancin tendr tormenta
El que tenga compaa, soledad
El que siga un buen camino tendr sillas
Peligrosas que lo inviten a parar
Pero vale la cancin buena tormenta
Y la compaa vale soledad
Siempre vale la agona de la prisa
Aunque se llene de sillas la verdad
Lyrics translation
Lyrics of "history of the chair"
On the side of the road there is a chair
The rapia roams that place
The friend's jacket is stretched
The friend does not sit down to rest
Your worn shoes are mirrors
Burning his throat with the sun
And through his tiredness passes an old man
That it dries with the shade the sweat
At the tip of love travels the friend
At the most acute tip you have to see
That tip that digs the same ground
That in the ruins, that in a woman's trail
That's why he's a soldier and a lover
That's why it's wood and it's metal
That's why the same thing sows roses
What reasons flag and arsenal
Whoever has a cancin will have a storm
He who has company, loneliness
He who follows a good path will have chairs
That invite him to stop
But it's worth the cancin good storm
And the company is worth loneliness
Always worth the agony of haste
Even if the truth is filled with chairs
