First poem in Spanish (avé les corrections)

- May 21, 2015

Paris en los años 80 Mi corazón era como una nueva canción Como un tango nunca bailado Amigos y yo todos los tiempos bailábamos como la música estúpida de América que no comprendíamos pero bailábamos y la nueva vida socialista era bella nosotros íbamos a colegios ricos donde los chicos estaban asustados no hablaban, no jugaban como nosotros pero bailábamos en mi barrio con amigos y después la universidad y bailábamos bailábamos todavía el muerte y el amor bailaban la última danza se llamaba sida y bailaban bailaban bailaban El agua corría en el Sena siempre Y ahora también corre, Y yo, A veces bailo, a veces cantando Mis canciones mil tiempo cantando mis tangos mil tiempo bailado pero soy. 80 in Francia François Mitterrand Presidente La musica de Madonna, Police, Michel Jackson Sida epidemia
