Steemit Open Mic Week 63 - Mapa Tesoro ( Nicolás Ibarburu ) Cover Song
Hello Steemit !
I'm back from my gig at the Argentinian Coast with Pablo Tevez.. which got rescheduled because of rain :/ ... we did play half our set , but we will be back this thursday :) .
So , here is my submission for week 63 . I'm doing covers as I am submitting originals for the Songwriter Contest , and i want to keep them separate .
This song is from Nicolas Ibarburu , an uruguayan guitar player , producer and composer , I've been following this artist for a while , mainly as a guitar player , because he is a very demanded session player and has played with some really important artists both in Uruguay and Argentina . When I saw he released an album as a songwriter , singing and showing his original compositions I found a lot of inspiration since I'm also mainly a guitar player and producer.
After hearing his music and watching him perform live I got some encouragement to explore and share my own music.
So this is my little tribute to one of his songs . " Mapa Tesoro'' . I hope you like it :)
Thanks to @pfunk and @luzcypher for making this happen :) . I'm glad to be a part of this community .
Aprendí a escuchar la canción del viento
por necesidad , como respirar
Y lo que escuché se volvió velero
para navegar entre tormentas de la oscuridad.
Hay que perdonar y es por uno mismo
no hay por que guardar penas de alguien mas
y lo que solte se volvió mas mío
no podemos enjaular lo que esta destinado a volar
Por eso te quiero aquí
fluyendo cerca de mí
Por eso te fuí a buscar
del otro lado del mar
fue para reconstruir
todo lo que no se ve
pero se siente al latir
por toda la inmensidad
Te reconocí entre tanta gente
y te vi reír , ebria de ilusión
y lo que soñé se volvió camino
que se unió en el trino cristalino de un mismo cantar
supe naufragar construyendo un barco
aprendi a rezar perdido en el mar
y el mapa que encontré , se volvió tesoro
se fundió en el oro de los ojos que te vieron crecer
Here's a translation:
Treasure Map
I learned how to listen to the wind's song
for necessity , like breathing
And what I heard turned into a sailboat
to sail between storms in darkness
We have to forgive
and do it for ourselves
We don't need to keep
sorrows of somebody else
And what I let go
became more part of me
we can't keep it a cage what was destined to fly
That is why I want you here
flowing near me
That is why i looked for you
at the other side of the sea
It was to rebuild
all that can't be seen
But it can be felt in your heartbeat
along the immensity .
I recognized you
between so many people
And i saw you smile
drunk from illusion
And what I dreamed
turned into a road
That joined the trill of the crystals
of a same song.
I learned to sink , while building a boat
I learned to pray , lost in the sea
And the map I found , became the treasure
that melted in the gold of the eyes that saw you grow.
That is why I want you here
flowing near me
That is why i looked for you
at the other side of the sea
It was to rebuild
all that can't be seen
But it can be felt in your heartbeat
along the immensity .
Thanks for listening :)

Very very nice my friend. I wonder if you have played that one a lot because you really perform it well.
Thank you very much my friend , actually I did play it live once on an acoustic gig , so I did rehearse it a little bit , I wasn't singing the main voice that time , just some backing , so I did have to practice it again :p.
Another beautiful performance, nice cover man
