Bio - Alejandro Sanz

Soy el hijo de María y de Jesús, la de Alcalá y el de Algeciras

Yo el más pequeño de dos, mi hermano mayor de agosto, de diciembre dieciocho yo

Siempre fui introvertido, tenía miedo, estaba ido

Me gustaba la poesía, el flamenco y mi bujío

No tuve muchos amigos, no era por mirarme el ombligo

Era que a mí me atraía más que lo de fuera, lo que tenía dentro metío'

Jugaba a veces en el barrio por no parecer extraño, pero no encajaba bien con

los malos que mandaban en el extrarradio

Siempre me vi rarito, me daba pena salir en clase

En la pizarra, cualquiera me hacía chiquito al burlarse

Quería guitarra y son, pero en el pupitre al sol con mi compañero jugaba a ser

el más vacilón

Yo relleno y el flaquito

En la escuela me hice el malo creyendo que así no me darían más palos,

pero me los llevé en la calle y en el corazón y en los rellanos

Quería guitarra y son, pero en el pupitre al sol con mi compañero jugaba a ser

el más vacilón

Mi padre tocaba en un grupo

Mi madre luchaba en la casa

¿Cuántas veces la vi llorando porque perdía la batalla?

Y cuando estallaba su impotencia, se me clavaba en el alma

Y en las costillas con aquellos gritos de plata

No me malentiendan, mi madre fue salvavidas

Y mi padre, aunque faltaba, también peleaba la vida

No me gustaba el fútbol

Me pedía ser el portero en mi escenario imaginario siempre ganaba seis cero

Pasábamos malos tiempos, pero teníamos huevos para ganarle al tiempo un

pedacito de cielo

La vida se fijó en mí y empecé a soñar en grande

Total para seguir en lo mismo, ya tenía el labio en sangre

No creía en los milagros ni en que pudiera lograrlo

Además ya había gente que te echaba el agua a jarro'

Pero insistí de una forma que aún hoy me deja helado

Yo no quería nada, pero lo buscaba a nado

Sabía que la música era lo que me sacaría del lodo

Como si fuera el anillo que buscaba ese tipo que le llaman Frodo

Y de repente me vi subiéndome a un escenario

Gente que no conocía, mis cancioncillas cantando, jaja

Y decidí dar las gracias, hacer siempre lo que esté en mi mano

Para agradecer a la vida semejante regalo

Llevo ya treinta años dedicado a este sueño que empezó como empeño, ilusión,

opción y anhelo

Y ese soy yo, resumiendo, desde que tengo razón

No intento engañar a nadie sino escribir mi canción

En medio de tanta mentira

No sabes cómo agradezco

El soplo de verdad que gira

En torno a ti amanezco

Ahora que es todo apariencia

Valoro en su justa medida

Lo auténtico de tu presencia

En el albor de mi vida

I am the son of María and Jesús, the one from Alcalá and the one from Algeciras

I the youngest of two, my older brother from August, from December eighteen I

I was always an introvert, I was scared, I was gone

I liked poetry, flamenco and my bujío

I didn't have many friends, it wasn't for looking at my navel

It was that I was more attracted to it than what was from the outside, what was inside me put '

He sometimes played in the neighborhood so as not to seem strange, but he didn't fit in well with

the bad guys who ruled the suburbs

I always looked weird, I was embarrassed to go out in class

On the blackboard, anyone made me small by mocking

He wanted guitar and son, but on the desk in the sun with my partner he played at being

the most hesitant

I stuffed and the skinny

At school I played the bad guy believing that this way they wouldn't beat me up anymore,

but I took them on the street and in the heart and on the landings

I wanted guitar and son, but on the desk in the sun with my partner I played at being

the most hesitant

My father played in a group

My mother fought in the house

How many times did I see her crying because she was losing the battle?

And when she exploded her impotence, she pierced my soul

And in the ribs with those silver screams

Don't get me wrong, my mother was a lifeguard

And my father, although he was missing, also fought for life

I didn't like football

He asked me to be the goalkeeper in my imaginary scenario he always won six zero

We had bad times, but we had the balls to beat time

little piece of sky

Life took notice of me and I began to dream big

Total to continue in the same, I already had the lip in blood

I did not believe in miracles or that I could achieve it

Besides, there were already people who poured the water into a jug for you.

But I insisted in a way that still leaves me cold

I didn't want anything, but I was looking for it by swimming

I knew that music was what would get me out of the mud

As if it were the ring that guy they call Frodo was looking for

And suddenly I saw myself getting on a stage

People I didn't know, singing my little songs, haha

And I decided to give thanks, always do what is in my power

To thank life for such a gift

I have been dedicated to this dream for thirty years, which began as a commitment, illusion,

choice and desire

And that's me, in short, since I'm right

I'm not trying to fool anyone but write my song

In the middle of so many lies

You don't know how I appreciate

The breath of truth that turns

I wake up around you

Now that's all appearance

I value in its fair measure

The authenticity of your presence

At the dawn of my life
