Would you 
(by Fernando A. Torres. Performed by Madelina y Los Carpinteros)
           
Would you remember what we've forgotten
Would you be present when is time to go
Would you be paying what we've done
Would you be crying for the rest of us
   
How can you know it if nobody told you
How can you see the light if nobody turned it on
How can deny all there is no memory
Nothing to hold on in these times of war.

Could you step forward there are no borders
Could you be there when is time to dare
Could you be praying it doesn't matter
You could be blame for the nameless one  

Should we stay low worshiping silence
How can the dream be locked in shame
Would the undertaker pick up the bodies
How could you mute in the age of drones

Could you step forward there are no borders
Could you be there when is time to dare
Could you be praying it doesn't matter
You could be blame for the nameless one  

Should we stay low worshiping silence
How can the dream be locked in shame
Would the undertaker pick up the bodies
How could you mute in the age of drones  ##

Would you

Íngrimo 
Song by Fernando Feña Torres performed by Madelina y Los Carpinteros. “Si te preguntan por mi, diles que estoy íngrimo” Fernando Alegría


Flor marchita ciudad dormida 
son de barro calle dolida   
díles que estoy íntimo
y a la tierra tal no voy a volver

De la pampa soy desterrada
y del agua descascarada
diles que voy íngrimo
del poema actual voy a regresar

Asperas paredes y el mar no vuelve a mi
solo son tus ojos el vuelo del país
diles que no vuelvo en cuerpo

Nothing but your drifting
would take me back to port
nothing but your wishes
would take back all these words

tell them I won't be there
en cuerpo

Ingrimo   No voy a volver
Ingrimo   Lando, lando
