Words...

RESIGNATION IS PERMANENT SUICIDE

Lost in the century...
I don't see myself as being from any place in particular.
I was born and grew up on the outskirts of Paris.
I love Galicia, and I love Euskadi,
(and not just because they're my roots…)
I'm rooted in Mexico, too,
in Río de Janeiro, or in Mali.
I am from where I am at the moment.
I am from where you live by your wits;
In the present.Now.
…today…
…in this minute…
…in this second…
I'm a citizen of the present.
and of all that I lack, in order to see...

DISAPPOINTMENT
My best weapon against disappointment is
Not sitting around.
Moving my body.
Drinking wine,and keeping the illusion alive.
The illusion of everything.
The intuition that you're alive...
...and that there is no other....
Being in love kills all disappointment. `
Perseverance is the key


PERDIDO EN EL SIGLO / No me siento realmente de ningún sitio.
Nací y crecí en los alrededores de París. / Adoro Galicia y Euskadi / (y no sólo porque estén ahí mis raíces…) /también siento que tengo raíces en México, / en Río de Janeiro, en Malí Soy de donde estoy en un momento dado. Soy de donde se sacan fuerzas; En este momento Ahora… hoy… en este mismo minuto, en este mismo segundo…
Soy ciudadano del presente. y de todo lo que necesito para ver...
Es medianoche en Tokio Son las cinco en Malí.
¿Qué hora es en el paraíso?

Mi mejor arma contra la desilusión
consiste en no quedarme quieto,
en moverme. En beber vino
y mantener viva la ilusión. La ilusión para todo.
La intuición de estar vivo…
…y que no hay nada parecido…
Estar enamorado mata toda desilusión
La perseverancia es la palabra clave...
