Pneumotórax
Fiebre, hemoptisis, disnea y sudores nocturnos. La vida entera que podía haber sido y que no fue. Tose, tose, tose.
Mandó llamar al médico:
-Diga treinta y tres. -Treinta y tres… treinta y tres… treinta y tres… -Respire.
………………………………………………………
Tiene usted una excavación en el pulmón izquierdo y el pulmón derecho infiltrado.
-Entonces, doctor ¿no es posible intentar el pneumotórax? No. Lo único que nos queda por hacer es tocar un tango argentino.
Took a walk up on Riverside by the Fireman’s Stone where a wall of candles said they would not spend this night alone
Meanwhile under the city where the tunnels run hot exchanging glances shared tonight what before we could not
Ah… connected now, joined at the hip Much deeper and steeper than your ipso facto citizenship
Ah… connected now, fused by the fire We used to look up to our leaders, but now we‘re looking higher
It travels deep like the rivers when they‘ve grown into a flood When we feel the rhythm of the ages hear it singing in our blood
It flows as murky as our history It sits as ancient as the stones We sense it pulling us together something tribal in our bones
Sooner or later we know the tempest will come Laying waste all that‘s before it taking lives but sparing some
And in the cold night that follows as we huddle by the flame Something new has come upon us but something ancient still remains
Ah… connected now What was there beneath the things we lost was hiding under the surface until the day we were the tempest-tossed
