Hello Steemit!
This is my submission for week 2 of the songwriters contest , it's hard to write a song given a theme and in just a couple days , but I will try to keep up , for this week I wrote a little song called ''Navegante'' , that translates somehow into seafarer or journeyman , I can't find the exact word .
The song is about being lost and finding ourselves , the main metaphor going along the lines of '' looking for you in the river of my dreams , carving arrows in your chest you will find the footprints in your hourglass''.... when am i going to write a normal song? hahaha .
Thanks @meno and @luzcypher for setting this up !
Hope you like it.
Hola Steemit!
Esta es mi entrada para en concurse de cantautores del Open Mic , la semana 2 tiene de temática ''perdido y encontrado''. Es un poco dificil escribir para mi con un tema previamente elegido y tambien con un limite de tiempo , espero poder cumplir con el reto semana a semana.
Para esta semana compuse un tema llamado ''Navegante'', que habla sobre la busqueda de encontrarnos a uno mismo , con la metáfora principal de ''buscar en tus sueños y encontrar tus huellas en el reloj de arena''.
Gracias a @meno y @luzcypher por hacer esto posible !
Espero les guste !
Navegante
(P. Mena)
Lagrimas de enero
que marcan el comienzo
de un paso errante
que camina adelante
Suben al Velero
Y se detiene el viento
Navegante
de piedra y de sal
Volcando
las dudas en el cielo
Buscandote
en el rio de los sueños
Tallando
las flechas en tu pecho
Encontraras
las huellas
en el reloj de arena
Poemas de un beso
que pintan sobre un lienzo
un paso amable
que camina adelante
Bajan del sendero
y se detiene el tiempo
Caminante
de tierra y de sal
Translation:
Seafarer
(P.Mena)
Tears of January
that marks the start
of a wandering step
that walks in front of me
It gets on the sailboat
And wind stops
Seafarer
of stone and salt
Throwing your doubts to heavens
Looking for you in the river of my dreams
Carving arrows in your chest
You'll find the footsteps in your hourglass
Poems of a kiss
That paint over a canvas
a gentle step
that walks in front of me
It steps down the path
and time stops
journeyman
of sand and salt.
Thanks for reading and listening!

don't ever write a 'normal' song! this is beautiful. Delicate abstract metaphors sung so sweetly. And lovely wandering guitar.... Its perfect! x
Thank you so much @basilmarples ! This means a lot , I'm also looking forward to your songs in this competition , you've got some nice music going on! ( I don't think I can write 'normal' songs since i'm not 'normal' :p ... what is 'normal' anyways?? hahaha ) Cheers my friend!
Im afraid Im very much the WRONG person to be asking what 'normal' is....but Ive got a feeling it sucks, so its probably best avoided, except under laboratory conditions! hehe
hahahahahah XD

Wow @fitzgibbon ! that is such a nice compliment! Thank you so much :). I'm really glad you liked it and that somehow the message of the song went through with the music . Cheers!
