I have found a new musical love: Marta Gomez.
I think if you listen to the following two clips, you will fall in love too!
To Franco
Music and Lyrics by Marta Gómez (2008)
Rhythm: Ballad
It is of wind that my song is made
of blood that my pain is stained
of green that I lose myself in your gaze
of water, of water that I navigate on your words
It is of days and nights, my dreaming
of suns and stars, my singing
of skies that I invent for you
of water, of water that innundates my reason with you
It is of earth that my heart is made
that insists on nesting in your life
searching not to forget its own voice
of air, of air that entangles every instant
with you, with you
Music and Lyrics by Marta Gómez (2005)
Rhythm: Festejo (Perú)
The kernel surrenders itself to the corn
like the rain to the harvest
like my heart to you.
Like when it rains and then clears
like when the harvest fly sings
like the cricket that comes out to celebrate the rain
like the snail that waits until the rain’s over
that’s how I wait for you.
Like when the wind blows softly
like when whispering, it sings
that’s how my voice learned to whisper to you
like the tree that waits for the wind to sing to him
that’s how I wait for you
That’s how my thoughts await your words
that’s how I await your gaze
when you are near me
Like when it rains and then clears
and the whispering rain sings
and the sound of the wind invents a thousand songs
that I learn and teach to my throat
that’s how I sing to you
that’s how I sing to you
