Sombras del Puerto

-

Musica: Armando Pontier - Letra: Oscar Rubens
Orquesta Carlos Di Sarli
Canta: Alberto Podestá

Fue en el puerto que te halle
ya sin fe y valor
en la densa oscuridad
de una noche cruel
cuando un barco anclado
triste y desolado
y en tu gris mirada
huellas del pasado
sin saber quien eras vos
te brindé un hogar
donde al fin hallaste amor ternura y paz
cuando podrás pagarme algun dia
lo que humilde te ofrecia
y que tanto me costaba
hijos! porque mi alma se espanta
y la fe se me quebranta
al sentirse defraudada
nunca pensé que al ver mi pobreza
por delirios de grandeza
vos te ibas a alejar.

Listen to it here: Sombras de Puerto.

Inspiration

 I am tired, and my body hurts. I have been studying non-stop for almost three years, and I haven't had the time to think (an exercise I praise and miss). Thinking connects me to feelings. I stand here a month a half away from graduating. I persisted when I wanted to rest. I rested when it was not possible to keep going. I pushed my physical and intellectual abilities and limitations to obtain this degree. I am inspired to help others.  A friend today commented on how good of a student I am. I am not. My attention is fleeing and flows away from me. It's just 100% effort and a constant battle to focus and concentrate.  I had to stop looking and finding meaning because I was burning. The candle burns at both ends. That poem is not mine but suits me well. The journey is long, and it has just started. This experience has taught me so much more than a skill. I am inspired. I hope the sacrifice will be worth it.
