Cruzan nubes grises
por un cielo turbio y feroz.
Esta tarde espesa, acodado en este balcón,
fumo y me consumo,
enfrente el Arco Iris Club
Caminábamos y el calor de verano
empujaba nuestro asombro
contra las paredes llenas de grafitis.
Caminábamos y el fogón del verano
engullía nuestro asombro
por obstinarnos en lo imposible.
Como tú, camino por esta estrecha calle.
Como tú, necesito soles que giren para alumbrarme.
Que hagan brillar lo bueno que pueda haber en el alma.
Sonrío al viento porque en él
huelo el humo del incendio.
Porque se que la fe es creer
en algún dios aunque no existan.
O existir aunque ese dios
a veces no crea en ti.
En caminar, aunque hoy no brille tu estrella.
Como tú, camino por esta tierra que pronto será yerma.
Levedad. Somos levedad.
Levedad. Somos levedad.
Cruzan nubes grises,
trallazos que tapan tanta voz,
que beben mi tormento,
que me arrancan de este sopor.
Leo y me sosiego, abajo.
Abajo el Arco Iris Club.
Caminábamos y el calor de verano
empujaba nuestro asombro
contra las paredes llenas de graffitis.
Caminábamos y el fogón del verano
engullía nuestro asombro
por obstinarnos en lo imposible.
Nunca cesa la matraca de motores.
Noche y día pasan coches atronando
en su estela por la avenida abajo.
Abajo, paraguas de fantasmales luces.
Son los árboles grasientos de monóxido.
Y esa lluvia filtrada que no limpia la ciudad.
Abajo, en el portal, veteranos
de una vida de sinsabores
duermen asidos a la botella
como para no caerse cuesta abajo.
Cuesta abajo, caminábamos, aquel verano.
Levedad. Somos levedad.
Levedad. Somos levedad.
Levedad.

Manolo García (nome completo Manuel García Garcia-Pérez) è un cantautore e pittore spagnolo nato a Poblenou, Barcellona, il 19 agosto 1955. Iniziò la sua carriera musicale suonando con band rock come Los Rapidos, Los Burros e El Último de la Fila. Il suo stile vocale è una miscela di pop rock, flamenco e musica araba. Con El Último de la Fila raggiunse il successo negli anni '90, diventando un punto di riferimento del rock spagnolo. In seguito ha intrapreso una carriera solista altrettanto di successo, consolidando la sua fama con album come «El último de la fila» (1993) e «Manolo García» (1996). Le sue canzoni sono caratterizzate da testi poetici che esplorano temi come l'amore, la vita e la perdita. Tra i suoi brani più noti figurano «Como un burro amarrado en la puerta de un baile», «Nunca el tiempo es perdido» e «Rosa de Alejandria». Manolo García è considerato uno degli artisti spagnoli più influenti del panorama musicale contemporaneo.
