Monologo - Silvio Rodríguez, Luis Eduardo Aute

Favor, no se molesten

Que pronto me estoy yendo;

No vine a perturbarles

Y menos a ofenderlos

Vi luz en las ventanas

Y oí voces cantando

Y, sin querer, ya estaba tocando

Yo también me alegraba

Entre amigos y cuerdas

Con licores y damas

Mas ¿de eso quien se acuerda?

Una vez fui famoso

Siempre andaba viajando:

Aquí traigo una foto

Actuando

Me recordaron tiempos

De sueños e ilusiones

Perdonen a este viejo

Perdonen

Ya casi me olvidaba

Pero, para mañana

Van a dar buen pescado

También llegaron papas

Y verduras en latas

Al puesto del mercado

En cuanto llegue y coma

Me voy para la zona

Por lo de la basura

Como la noche avanza

Los dejo con la danza

El canto y la cultura

Disculpen la molestia

Ya me llevo mi boca

A mi edad la cabeza

A veces se trastoca

En la alegría de ustedes

Distinguí mis promesas

Y todo me parece

Que empieza

Favor, no se molesten

Que casi me estoy yendo;

No quise perturbarles

Y menos ofenderlos

Vi luz en las ventanas

Y juventud cantando

Y, sin querer, ya estaba soñando

Vivo en la vieja casa

De la bombilla verde

Si por allí pasaran

Recuerden…

Please don't bother

That I'm leaving soon;

I did not come to disturb you

And less to offend them

I saw light in the windows

And I heard voices singing

And, without meaning to, she was already playing

I was happy too

between friends and strings

With liqueurs and ladies

But who remembers that?

I was once famous

He was always traveling:

Here I bring a photo

Acting

they reminded me of times

Of dreams and illusions

forgive this old man

Excuse me

I almost forgot

but for tomorrow

They are going to give good fish

potatoes also arrived

And vegetables in cans

to the market stall

As soon as you arrive and eat

I'm going to the area

Because of the garbage

as the night progresses

I leave you with the dance

singing and culture

Sorry to bother you

I already take my mouth

At my age the head

Sometimes it gets messed up

In your joy

I distinguished my promises

and everything seems to me

That starts

Please don't bother

That I'm almost leaving;

I didn't mean to disturb them

And less offend them

I saw light in the windows

and youth singing

And, unintentionally, I was already dreaming

I live in the old house

of the green bulb

If they passed by there

Remember…
