Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain. You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun. So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, Shorter of breath and one day closer to death. Time (PINK FLOYD)
PONCENA LAKE IN BARRIO CAYABO, JUANA DIAZ PUERTO RICO
Love is but the song we sing, And fear's the way we die You can make the mountains ring Or make the angels cry Know the dove is on the wing And you need not know why C'mon people now, Smile on your brother Ev'rybody get together Try and love one another right now Some will come and some will go We shall surely pass When the one that left us here Returns for us at last We are but a moments sunlight Fading in the grass
SUNRISE IN KEY WEST
(DE AMADO NERVO) Cada rosa gentil ayer nacida, cada aurora que apunta entre sonrojos, dejan mi alma en el éxtasis sumida... ¡Nunca se cansan de mirar mis ojos el perpetuo milagro de la vida!
Everytime that I look in the mirror All these lines on my face gettin clearer The past is gone It went by like dust to dawn. Isnt that the way Everybodys got their dues in life to pay I know what nobody knows Where it comes and where it goes I know its everybodys sin You got to lose to know how to win Half my life is in books written pages Live and learn from fools and from sages You know its true All the things come back to you
BULDOZING THE SUN
(El atardecer) Es el atardecer cuando uno se aleja, a la caída del sol. Es entonces cuando se abandona todo. El pensamiento recoge su tolda de tela de araña y el corazón olvida el porqué de su angustia. El caminante del desierto abandona su campamento, que pronto desaparecerá bajo la arena, y continúa su viaje en la quietud de la noche, guiado por enigmáticas estrellas.
Cada rosa gentil ayer nacida, cada aurora que apunta entre sonrojos, dejan mi alma en el éxtasis sumida... ¡Nunca se cansan de mirar mis ojos el perpetuo milagro de la vida! Años ha que contemplo las estrellas en las diáfanas noches españolas y las encuentro cada vez mas bellas. ¡Años ha que en el mar, conmigo a solas, de las olas escucho las querellas y aún me pasma el prodigio de las olas!

First thing I remember, was asking Papa why? for there were many things I didn't know. And Daddy always smiled, took me by the hand, saying someday you'll understand. Well, I'm here to tell you now each and every mother's son, you better learn it fast, you better learn it young, 'cuz someday never comes. The time and tears went by, and I collected dust, for there were many things I didn't know. When Daddy went away, he said try to be a man, and someday you'll understand. But, I'm here to tell you now each and every mother's son, you better learn it fast, you better learn it young, 'cuz someday never comes.
SUNSET IN KEY WEST
MIAMI
In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone, neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of A neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence.
You get up every morning From your alarm clock's warning Take the 8:15 into the city There's a whistle up above And people pushin', people shovin' And the girls who try to look pretty And if your train's on time You can get to work by nine And start your slaving job to get your pay If you ever get annoyed Look at me I'm self-employed I love to work at nothing all day
