Justicia


No no voy a llorar por ti
voy a guardarme este recuerdo
no no voy a llorar por ti
que mi corazon no ha muerto
no ha muerto no ha muerto

que quieren sueños de nuestra Tierra
o bislumbres de cada guerra
donde los dientes de un zapoteca liberan sueños de mezcal
que lo malo se va a acabar
que lo bueno ya va a empezar

ya no quiero llorar de pena
solo quiero cantar azusenas
que el cielo me quiere cantar
que el cielo me quiere cantar
platicaba la espuma al mar
platicaba la espuma al mar

en los ojos que estaban llorando
en los puños que se cerraron
y en el viento que secrecia
mariposas que ya no volavany una guerra tapada con su manto
unas calles con lumbres quebrados
donde manda la ley de la selva
donde fueron las cosas buenas

yo te culpo por el silencio
en la culpa de una mirada
yo te busco como testigo
-
yo te busco por el bordado
de mujeres y de poetas
el discurso que causa preguntas
el tejido de servilletas

justicia! te busqué en la calle
te busqué en el diario
en la television
en las voces sordas de los tribunales

justicia! te busque en las caras
te busque en las bocas
te busque en las mentes
te busque en los ojos de nuestras ciudades

sigo creyendo que lo malo acaba
que lo bueno viene
la conciencia te llama
sigo creyendo que lo malo acaba
que lo bueno viene
la conciencia te llama

yo te busco en las defunciones
que en papel nunca aparecieras
en las manchas de las canteras
la pintura te borraria
pero no borra mi memoria
ni el orgullo ni valentia
ni la voz de las cacerolas
ni las radios de mis vecinas

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
