La canción de la semana #743

...is Si me matan, a poignant and powerful new song by Silvana Estrada.

Si me matan cuando me encuentren que digan siempre que digan siempre Que fui cantora viviendo sueños que como todas crecí con miedo Y aún así salí solita a ver estrellas andar los días Y aún así salí solita a ver estrellas a amar la vida Si me matan si es que me encuentran llénenme de flores cúbranme de tierra Que yo seré semilla para las que vienen que ya nadie nos calla ya nada nos contiene Y que suenen los cantos como un manto tibio curándonos la herida de lo que hemos perdido Y que un grito cual trueno nos arranque del duelo nos han quitado tanto nos quitaron el miedo Que quede la esperanza y el azul del cielo mirarnos a la cara hermana yo te quiero
