Calle Melancolía
de una yegua sombría
por la ciudad camino
no pregunteis a donde?
Busco acaso un encuentro
que me ilumine el día
y no hallo mas que puertas
que niegan lo que esconden
Las chimeneas vierten
su vómito de humo
a un cielo cada vez
más lejano y más alto
Por las paredes ocres
se desparrama el zumo
de una fruta de sangre
crecida en el asfalto
Ya, el campo estará verde
debe ser primavera
cruza por mi mirada
un tren interminable
El barrio donde habito
no es ninguna pradera
desolado paisaje
de antenas y de cables
VIVO EN EL NUMERO SIETE
CALLE MELANCOLÍA
QUIERO MUDARME HACE AÑOS
AL BARRIO DE LA ALEGRÍA
PERO SIEMPRE QUE LO INTENTO
HA SALIDO YA EL TRANVÍA
EN LA ESCALERA ME SIENTO
A SILBAR MI MELODÍA
Como quien viaja a bordo
de un barco enloquecido
que viene de la noche
y va a ninguna parte
así mis pies descienden
la cuesta del olvido
fatigados de tanto
andar sin encontrarte
Luego de vuelta a casa
enciendo un cigarrillo
ordeno mis papeles
resuelvo un crucigrama
Me enfado con las sombras
que pueblan los pasillos
y me abrazo a la ausencia
que dejas en mi cama
Trepo por tu recuerdo
como una enredadera
que no encuentra ventanas
donde agarrarse
Soy esa absurda epidemia
que sufren las aceras
si quieres encontrarme
ya sabes donde estoy
VIVO EN EL NUMERO SIETE...(3)
Joaquín Sabina
Singer and songwriter Joaquín Sabina was born in Úbeda, Spain in February 12, 1949. At the age of 14, Sabina started writing poems, getting connected with music as a member of a teenager's rockabilly band called Merry Youngs. Sabina's poetry and music skills were extended to acting while being part of Juan Panadero's theatrical company. In 1976, his book Memorias del Exilio was published and its lyrics were Joaqumn Sabina's inspiration to record his first album in 1978. El Inventario was followed by Malas Compaqias, the first one to CBS. While the artist popularity as a songwriter was growing, Sabina's lyrics started being requested by well-known Hispanic singers. In 1985, Joaqumn Sabina left CBS, signing up to Ariola. Joaqumn Sabina y Viceversa was recorded live during two successful shows performed at Salamanca Theater on February 14 and 15, 1986. The following studio record came in 1987. Hotel, Dulce Hotel sold over 400,000 copies. In 1992, Sabina went on tour, performing almost two hundred shows around the world. In 1997, the artist was recognized as the Best Spanish Rock and Pop Songwriter by the Spanish Songwriters Association (SGAE). Nos Sabran los Motivos followed three years later. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide.
