Hello Steemit !
This week has been a busy one , but here is my entry for Week 3 of the Songwriter contest , the theme for this round is "Stolen Soul'' , well , finding lyrics for this particular theme was kind of difficult , since it is not really the kind of thing I write about in my music , but that's the point of the contest i guess! :p hahaha. Once again thanks to my brother @meno and @luzcypher for setting this up!
This song's title translates to ''reflections'' , and builds on the metaphor of being scared of your own reflection and starting to lose your identity , the character of the song then just waits for life to ''steal'' what is left of him .
''Will you take the candle away without saying goodbye ? a voice rises up and fades away''
(P.Mena)
Un reflejo
que lento se llevó
La risa
que guardo en un cajón
se escondió
Y no ve nada
Un alma asustada
Hay cenizas
Que guardo en un jarrón
De penas
que un dia se perdió
Se escondió
no dijo nada
Será que hoy...
''¿Te llevarás la vela
sin decir adiós?''
Una voz se eleva
Se apagó
''¿Y moverás la tierra
sin pedir perdón?''
Una voz se quiebra
Se apagó
Here's a translation:
Reflections
(P.Mena)
A reflection
that slowly took away
The laughter
that I kept in a drawer
It hid away
and doesn't see
a scared soul
There are ashes
That I keep in a vase
of sorrows
that one day got lost
It hid away
without saying anything
will it be that today....
''You'll take the candle away
without saying goodbye?''
A voice rises and fades away
''Will you shake the ground
without saying sorry?''
A voice breaks and fades away
Thanks for listening !
