Cry out to me stones of the field
Cuco Sanchez
I’m like the wind scurrying
around the world;
moving between so many delights,
moving between so many delights,
but not a single one of them is yours.
I'm like a bird in a cage
caught and drowned by your love.
And even if the cage had been golden,
and even if the cage had been golden
wouldn't stop it from being a prison.
Speak to me O mountains and valleys,
cry out to me stones of the field;
whenever in life you see:
a want as I am now wanting,
a cry like I am now crying,
a death, like I am now dying.
At times I feel a sun
and the world no longer matters;
then I wake up laughing,
then I wake up laughing;
I am far less than nothing.
In the end, I’m in this world
like a feather in the air;
meaninglessly going through life,
meaninglessly going through life,
and for that, you are to blame.
Speak to me O mountains and valleys,
cry out to me stones of the field;
whenever in life you see:
a want as I am now wanting,
a cry like I am now crying,
a death, like I am now dying.
