about

We first heard this song when the great Cuban trovadora, Sara Gonzalez came to Australia in 1985, and performed at the Sydney Town Hall.

lyrics

En la noche la guitarra,
desbaratando silencios
y enhebrando al mismo tiempo
de estrellas la madrugada.

Vivir o morir mañana,
alentados por el tiempo,
el sonido es el silencio,
y el silencio, la guitarra.

Mi vida toda es el tiempo
en que canta la guitarra;
mis días, todo el silencio
cuando la guitarra calla.
