I had a motherless childhood

With cousins running here and there

The house was left empty

How I miss you, Dad

You, Admiral Rojas

I wanted to hug you

The world was wearing boots

The blood reached the sea

They threw bodies into the river

The river reached the sea

Babe, we're dying of AIDS

Always playing at the sea

While the flowers opened

Divine, drunk, deliriums

The streets crowded

With crazies doing somersaults

In a shining world

I only saw that they dragged

Like animals across the lobby

Four Montoneros

Dead, outside the law

When Batato was giving

A kiss to the cop on cultural strike

That was being fashionable

That was freedom

It was the seventies

Eighties and nineties of false faith

Very alike in something

And very different too

While today the flowers close

And those divine, drunk, deliriums

The streets crowded

Of crazies doing somersaults

In these wild years

What luck I had, my life

To have reached you

Let's make a house

A new home under the sun

Uh-uh-uh
