Caetano Veloso – Vuelvo Al Sur (Ao Vivo)
Vuelvo Al Sur – Ao Vivo No Rio De Janeiro / 1996
(Astor Piazzolla, Fernando Ezequiel Solanas)
Letra:
Vuelvo al Sur,
como se vuelve siempre al amor
vuelvo a vos
con mi deseo, con mi temor
Llego al Sur
como un destino del corazón
soy del Sur
como los aires del bandoneón
Sueño el Sur,
inmensa luna, cielo al revés
busco el Sur
el tiempo abierto, y su después.
Quiero el Sur,
su buena gente, su dignidad,
siento el Sur,
como tu cuerpo en la intimidad.
Vuelvo al Sur,
llego al sur
te quiero
