South America
The tropical day was a shroud,
a curtain in front of the skyscrapers.
He earns a decent living but hopes
to become a millionaire soon.
The man who came from far away
has the genius of Schiaffino 1.
But he touches bread with devotion
and looks at his Uruguayan stars.
Ah, South America...
And dancers wait as they stand on one leg
the handout of one last rumba.
Ah, South America...
The tropical gesture was ancient,
an arch between the blue sky and the thunderstorm
to tell you how relevant is the issue
between the aggrieved part and the insurance company.
Wind surrenders to his thick hair.
He says that God is there, just a few steps away.
But while he points at the highlands,
his lips make a sound like an airplane.
Ah, South America...
And dancers wait as they stand on one leg
the handout of one last rumba.
- 1. Uruguayan-Italian footballer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Alberto_Schiaffino
