Very beautiful and sweet song and voice ! I like the lyrics ...

I am so excited about collaborating with soprano Maribel Villarroel and arranger and pianist René Calderón. The lyrics are from the Pablo Neruda poem "Para Mi Corazón" in the book "Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair". Translated by W.S. Merwin. Permission has been granted by Fundación Pablo Neruda.

Canciones para Pablo Neruda" is a book of musical scores for songs based on lyrics by Pablo Neruda and artwork from some of Chile's greatest artists:

Para Mi Corazón

Para mi corazón basta tu pecho,
para tu libertad bastan mis alas.                                                                                 
Desde mi boca llegará hasta el cielo                                                                                   
lo que estaba dormido sobre tu alma.

He dicho que cantabas en el viento                                                                             
como los pinos y cómo los mástiles.                                                                           
Como ellos eres alta y taciturna.
Y entristeces de pronto, como un viaje.

Acogedora como un viejo camino.                                                                                   
Te pueblan ecos y voces nostálgicas.                                                                              
Yo desperté y a veces emigran y huyen                                                                   
pájaros que dormían en tu alma.

Your breast is enough for my heart,
and my wings for your freedom. 
What was sleeping above your soul will rise
out of my mouth to heaven.

I have said that you sang in the wind
like the pines and like the masts.
Like them, you are tall and taciturn,
And you are sad, all at once, like a voyage.

You gather things to you like an old road.
You are people with echoes and nostalgic voices.                                                          
I awoke, and at times, birds fled and migrated
that had been sleeping in your soul.

Para Mi Corazón (Poem by Pablo Neruda)

A song about the unasked questions, and about the fact that we often have no answers to them...

The Question

Having someone by your side to support you in difficult times makes everything easier.

Tell me love

In the quiet of the night, I see you there,  
Lost in thoughts bear, your smile lit the room,  
Now it feels like we’re dancing in gloom.  

Ohh tell me,tell me  
Oh, tell me, love, what’s weighing you down?  
I’ll be your light, I’ll turn it around.  
With open arms, I’m ready to fight,  
To bring back the spark, to make it all right.  

You’re a shadow of the man I used to know,  
Words unspoken, where did they go?  
I reach for you, but you slip away,  
In this silence, I’m lost, I’m afraid.  

Ohh tell me,tell me
Oh, tell me, love, what’s weighing you down?  
I’ll be your light, I’ll turn it around.  
With open arms, I’m ready to fight,  
To bring back the spark, to make it all right.  

I’ll give you my heart, it’s yours to keep,  
In the depths of your silence, I’ll dive in deep.  
Together we’ll face whatever you fear,  
Just take my hand, I’ll always be near.  

So let the walls crumble, let the truth flow,  
I’m here for you, just let me know.  
In the stillness, I’ll wait for your call,  
With love as our guide, we can conquer it all.  

Ohh tell me,tell me  
tell me, love, what’s weighing you down?  
I’ll be your light, I’ll turn it around.  
With open arms, I’m ready to fight,  
To bring back the spark, to make it all right.  

So take a breath, let the worries unwind,  
In this journey together, our hearts will align.  
I’ll stand by your side, through the dark and the light,  
With love as our anchor, we’ll be alright.

Tell me love

It's hard to keep your head up
when it seems love's sun doesn't want to shine
on this heart of mine
I was  drawing red lines and wasting time 
was there something I missed ?
I'm breaking pencils
crossing another name off my list

Too much this- not enough of that 
mis-matched like two lost socks
feels like I 'm sitting in an idiot box
completely incomplete  
where are  there directions
to get off lonely street ?

Chance encounter
at my neighborhood coffee shop 
You spilled your coffee on my sleeve
I lied and said it wasn't hot 
You smiled and said
beautiful you, beautiful lie
Would you like to have dinner tonight ?

Until you...
your love created  colors I 'd never seen 
with your heart wide open 
truth openly spoken
my beautiful beautiful  dream
that's come true 
I never thought I could feel this way 
that being imperfect is  perfectly ok 
Until you

Sometimes what you're looking for
is just around the corner 
and you find your precious gem
that maybe someone else looked over
hold on to your dreams 
because you deserve them 
To my own self be true
But I never knew this 
Until you

Chorus

Until you...
your love created  colors I 'd never seen 
with your heart wide open 
truth openly spoken
my beautiful beautiful  dream
that's come true

Until you...
your love created  colors I 'd never seen 
with your heart wide open 
truth openly spoken
my beautiful, beautiful  dream
that's come true 
Until you

your love created  colors I 'd never seen 
My beautiful, beautiful dream
that's come true
because of you

Until You

No Surrender

Now convince the lowest man that he's better
And he won't even notice you're picking his pocket
Hell, give him someone to look down on
And he'll empty his pockets for you

If ya wanna be free, live your life own way 
Then eternal vigilance is the price ya pay
Cause  Servitude is the consequence
If you’re too damn complacent  

No surrender, to the powers that be
No surrender, to autocracy
No surrender, no surrender 

It’s a lie, It’s a lie, It’s a lie
It’s a crime, It’s a crime, It’s a crime
Of the time, of the time, of the time
It’s a low down stinking lying crime of the time.

Is life so dear or peace so sweet
To be purchased at the price of slavery 
Some will bend the knee and kiss the ring
For me I say let freedom ring 

If ya wanna be free, live your life own way 
Then eternal vigilance is the price ya pay
Cause servitude is the consequence
If you’re too damn complacent 

No surrender, to the powers that be
No surrender, to autocracy
No surrender, to the chains of tyranny

No surrender, to the powers that be
No surrender, to a wanna be king
No surrender, no surrender

What I'm to Say

Life or Just a Play

Met him in the garden past the yellow slide
He wore a smile like it was candy-wrapped pride
Said I looked like sugar, soft and sweet and shy
Asked me if I’d like a treat—how could I deny?
He had wrappers in his pocket, and a story in his hand
Spoke with syrup in his voice, like he owned the land
Said, “Don’t tell your parents, they wouldn’t understand”
He gave me caramel promises, tied with golden bands

[Pre-Chorus]
His touch was velvet, but my skin turned stone
He said, “You’re special”—I felt alone
Vanilla breath and winter cologne
Sugar melts quick when the heat gets grown

He called himself my Sugar Daddy
Said I was lucky, said I should be glad he
Picked me out from the gumdrop crowd
But sweetness like his always speaks too loud
It’s not love, it’s a trick, it’s a poisoned kiss
A red-stained ribbon on a toothless wish
He called it sugar—
But I know what rot is

He’d sneak me extra lunch, fold notes into my desk
Wrote me poems with a lollipop scent on his breath
Said secrets make it special, and silence is best
But my chest felt hollow, and my dreams lost rest
He played hide and seek with a grown man’s eyes
Watched me stumble through the rules and lies
Told me, “Grow up fast, be a candy prize”
So I smiled through the syrup and swallowed the cries

They saw wrappers, not the stains on my knees
They heard laughter, not the whispered pleas
He carved his name into my sweets
But no one listens when the doll still speaks

He called himself my Sugar Daddy
Said I was chosen, said I should be happy
Said the world was too cold for a girl like me
And sugar like his would set me free
It’s not love, it’s control, it’s a candy-coat cage
A bitter treat with a plastic stage
He called it sugar—
But I know what pain tastes like

Golden wrappers don’t mean gold inside
He sucked the joy and called it pride
Left bite marks on my paper mind
And told me, “Don’t forget—you’re mine”
I was spun sugar, spun too tight
Hanging from his sweet delight
But even taffy breaks with time
And I’ve learned to rot without a rhyme

He called himself my Sugar Daddy
Gave me chains disguised as candy
Tied me up in a childhood song
But I’ve known the truth all along
It’s not love, it’s a lie with glitter and gloss
It’s what you steal, not what you’ve lost
He called it sugar—
But I bit back the cost

Music box ticking in an empty room
Plastic wrappers dancing like a tomb
He said, “Just one more taste, my treat”
But this time, I didn't eat


Sugar Daddy

The story of a girl waking up from a dream.
