To begin with I wasn't sure, since they seemed somewhat repetitive, but as the day progressed to the early afternoon I found that I was also inspired (I even missed lunch!). The piece varies in mode from D Dorian to A Aeolian. The performance is by me (multi-tracking).

Me hará señales de acudir, por una luz de eternidad cuando me llame, voy a ir. A preguntarle, por ese niño que con su muerte, lo perdí, que con "Nonino" se me fue... Cuando me diga, ven aquí... Renaceré... Porque... ¡Soy...! la raíz, del país que amasó con su arcilla. ¡Soy...! Sangre y piel, del "tano" aquel, que me dio su semilla. Adiós "Nonino".. que largo sin vos, será el camino. ¡Dolor, tristeza, la mesa y el pan...! Y mi adiós.. ¡Ay! Mi adiós, a tu amor, tu tabaco, tu vino. ¿Quién..? Sin piedad, me robó la mitad, al llevarte "Nonino"... Tal vez un día, yo también mirando atrás... Como vos, diga adiós ¡No va más..!  less
