facundo cabral

i was so sorry to wake up to this news today, and can still hardly believe this happened to one of our most beloved viejito folk singers...

facundo cabral was assassinated in guatemala city early this morning.

everything is too quiet now.

no soy de aquí, ni soy de allá : facundo cabral

**

yo bailo con mi canción

y no con la que me tocan,

yo no soy la libertad,

pero si el que la provoca.

si ya conozco el camino

para que voy a andar acostado,

si la libertad me gusta

para que voy a vivir de esclavo

...

i dance to my own song

not the one they play for me

i am not freedom

but i am he who incites her

if i know the way

already

why would i go lying down?

if i love freedom

why would i live as a slave?

**

:( que descanses en paz, facundo cabral...
