Shot 62
For my camera that got stolen. And for her. And the new job and for writing, because it came right when it was needed. And for all the new things that are constantly coming.
For all times sake.
While you watch.
For all times sake.
While you watch.

Shot 61
I'm not an outsider.
(Charly Garcia)
I’ve just
arrived,
I’m not an outsider.
I know this city,
It’s not like in
the news
from there.
Two men in a bar
take each other’s
hands.
Switch a tape
recorder on
and dance a
tango,
earnestly.
And I look at
them without really wanting to.
I light a smoke
to disguise,
I get to wonder
and start to
think
that is not good
to fish
twice with the
same net.
I’ve just looked
the lights that
pass.
I’ve just
crossed
the city squares,
the lines and the colour.
And I feel a
familiar fragrance.
Someone approaches
and starts
talking.
I get to wonder
and say “hi, what’s
up,
let’s go fishing
twice with the
same net.”
Unprejudiced are
those to come.
And about those
who are here I'm not concerned anymore.
The jailers of humanity
will never catch
me
twice with the
same net.
While you watch.
No soy un extraño
(Charly García)
Acabo de llegar, no soy un extraño,
conozco esta ciudad, no es como en los diarios,
desde allá.
Dos tipos en un bar, se toman las manos.
Prenden un grabador y bailan un tango, de verdad.
Y yo los miro sin querer mirar,
enciendo un faso para despistar,
me quedo piola y empiezo a pensar
que no hay que pescar dos veces con la misma red.
Acabo de mirar las luces que pasan ,
acabo de cruzar las plazas, las rayas y el color.
Y siento un aroma poco familiar,
alguien se acerca y comienza a hablar.
Me quedo piola y digo qué tal, vamos a pescar
dos veces con la misma red.
Desprejuiciados son los que vendrán,
y los que están ya no me importan más,
los carceleros de la humanidad
no me atraparán
dos veces con la misma red.
