Sonic Groove Live Week 3 - Preludio de Girón (Cover)
Today I wanted to take the opportunity that they lent me a camera and I wanted to make a video without additives, without sound equipment, naturally.
So I decided to record this song by Cuban composer Silvio Rodríguez. Despite his origin, this composer makes few songs with Caribbean rhythms. This is one of the exceptions. The theme was part of a trilogy dedicated to the invasion in Playa Girón in 1961, of which this song is the prelude.
I hope you enjoy it!
Hoy quise aprovechar la oportunidad de que que me prestaron una cámara y quise hacer un video sin aditivos, sin equipos de sonido, al natural.
Así que decidí grabar esta canción del compositor cubano Silvio Rodríguez. A pesar de su origen, este compositor hace pocas canciones con ritmos caribeños. Esta es una de las excepciones. El tema formó parte de una trilogía dedicada a la invasión en Playa Girón en 1961, de la cual este canción es el preludio.
¡Espero que la disfruten!
The lyrics / La letra
Preludio de Girón
El aire toma forma de tornado
y en él van amarrados
la muerte y el amor.
Una columna oscura se levanta
y los niños se arrancan
los juegos de un tirón.
Abuela tus tijeras son rurales
y cortan otros males
pero este viento, no.
Guárdate tu oración, amigo viejo,
e invoca a Peralejo,
que nos viene mejor.
Nadie se va a morir, menos ahora
que esta mujer sagrada inclina el ceño.
Nadie se va a morir, la vida toda
es un breve segundo de su sueño.
Nadie se va a morir, la vida toda
es nuestro talismán, es nuestro manto.
Nadie se va a morir, menos ahora
que el canto de la patria es nuestro canto.
Delante de la columna, al frente,
donde ha viajado siempre
la mira del fusil,
que hable la fértil puntería,
que esa garganta envía
mi forma de vivir.
Con muerte todas las cosas ciertas
grabaron una puerta
en el centro de abril.
Con patria se ha dibujado
el nombre del alma de los hombres
que no van a morir.
Prelude of Girón
The air becomes a tornado
and it death and love go tied.
A dark column rises
and the children tear
their games away with a pull.
Grandmother, your scissors are rural
and cut other evils
but not this wind.
Keep your prayer, old friend,
and invoke Peralejo
who should suit us better.
Noone will die, even less now,
that this holy woman bows her frown.
Noone will die, life as a whole
is a brief second of its dream.
Noone will die, life as a whole
is our talisman, is our cloak.
Noone will die, even less now,
that the song of our homeland is our song.
In front of the column, in the front,
where the barrell of the gun has always traveled,
may the fertile aim talk
that this throat sends
my form of living.
With death all certain things
engraved a door
in the centre of April.
With homeland the name of the souls of the men who will not die
was painted.
