Interesting song, sung tonight in Portland, Oregon by Jonathan Berman.

SI BUSCABAS

Si buscabas Un cuerpo complaciente Que soltara tus amarras Que tus nudos desnudara A tu animal más inocente Si esperabas Un fuego tan ardiente Que encendiera tus cenizas Que te hiciera sentir brisa Donde ya no había fuente Si añorabas Un corazón de refugio Donde huir de tanta gente Que te hería y te quería Para ser feliz un día Si soñabas Con buscar la libertad A través de otra persona Que librara tus palomas De las ansias de volar... Que luchara en tu trinchera De traer la primavera La encontraste

If you were looking     for a willing body To loosen your bonds, That in your knots unties you To reveal your most innocent animal self If you hoped     for a fire hot enough To kindle your ashes to flame To make you feel a breeze When the source was gone If you have longed     for a heart of refuge Where you could flee from so many people Those who hurt you and those who loved you To be happy one day If you have dreamt     of seeking freedom Through another person To liberate your doves From their yearnings for flight Who would fight your battle in the trenches To bring the springtime You have found it.
