Campodefuerzas #1 | Derivas del presente : el agua. Invitado:@danzacardumen

Felipe Benegas Lynch, poet, writer and musician composed this song from a text I wrote few days after my Father’s death. The text spoke about the very moment when he passed and about the connection in our relationship Father-daughter. 

Felipe, a great friend of mine, took the emotion of that text and interpreted it in his own language, speaking of Maltrata (Veracruz, Mexico) the village where my Father’s side family came from.

Lyrics translated in English:

I didn’t come to Maltrata until I came
seeking for you in piety
to let you flow, that’s what I wanted
water was running in my hands
and nobody could harm us anymore

I knocked at your door with a rag
strapped around my guts
you smelled of death and screamed in
pain
do you want me to deliver you? I asked
and stone became water
you slowly sank my hand
in your heart

there I was in your chest
becoming child in the cradle
of your voice
I came to Maltrata because I knew you were
dying
water was running in my hands
and nobody could harm us anymore
