Ben, yesterday aked me to here the song Volver a Los 17 by artist, composer, siger, poet(...) Violeta Parra. This morning he wanted to hear it againg and while I was getting ready to go out, he repeated the song at least 5 time (or maybe more). The lyrics are beyond precious, how fine is that soul to write something like that. One of the most beautiful sang poems I have heard. Here I post the translation for the Lyrics, and below, the song for those who want to savor and get enchanted. This version here is sang by Brazilian singer Zizi Possi. TO BE 17 AGAIN (Violeta Parra) To be 17 again after having lived a century is like comprehending symbols without being a savant, to suddenly be fragile again, like a second in time, to feel profoundly again, like a child before God. That is what I feel in this fruitful moment. Refrain: Love entangles itself like ivy on a wall, and it spreads like moss on a stone. My steps go back in time as yours move forward. The rainbow of our alliance has penetrated in my nest, with all its colour it has passed through my veins, and even the strong chain that ties us to destiny is like a diamond that lights my serene soul. Refrain What emotions can inspire, knowledge cannot. nor can the clearest justice, nor the broadest thoughts. Everything is changed by that moment whose complacent magician carries us softly away from animosity and violence. Only love with its chemistry can make us innocent again. Refrain Love is like a whirlwind of original purity even ferocious animals whisper its sweet sound, it stops pilgrims in their journey, it liberates prisoners. Love, with its sparkling magic, turn old people into children again and its spell makes evil people pure and sincere once more. Refrain The window flew wide open as if by enchantment. Love entered with its mantle like a warm morning, disguised by the beauty of the moon, it made jasmine bloom, flying like Seraphim placing jewels throughout the sky this cherub brought me back to being 17 again. https://youtube/watch?v=FCiu7vc6Wzk
