about

A love song for embracing your contradictions.
Milonga is a folk rhythm from the River Plate region of South America (Argentina, Uruguay). A rhythm I find myself writing songs in often, accidentally, since moving back from Argentina to New England. Spanish and English translation of lyrics below.

lyrics

Cuando miro afuera, cuando miro adentro

Cuando afuera otra vez


De la periferia, hasta el mero centro

Siempre soy testigo y juez


Cuando sabré descifrar mi razón?

Cuando sentiré mi hogar en mi voz?


Cuando miro el agua, cuando miro el cielo

Cuando miro el agua otra vez


De lo más profundo, a este momento

Quiero ser el ave y el pez


Cuando sabré descifrar mi razón?

Cuando sentiré mi hogar en mi voz?





translation:


When I look outside, when I look inside

When I look outside again


From the periphery, to the very center

I am always the judge and the witness


When will I know how to decipher my reason?

When will I feel at home in my voice?


When I look at the water, when I look at the sky

When I look at the water again


From the deepest place, to this very moment

I want to be the bird and the fish



When will I know how to decipher my reason?

When will I feel at home in my voice?

In my voice
