Anita Tijoux – Humanidad

To be happy for me means this moment
To open my window, feel the wind
Lose my breath

To live by the sweat of one’s work, to feel the course of things whatever the impulse
Its true progression, my natural thirst to devour life
To reach the core, only to begin my battle once more

To live every day as if it were one’s favorite
The colors of objects take on a different aspect

To sit in the park, to eat chocolate
To feel that inside you is a strong heart that beats

For me, to be happy means this
To be talking with you in the middle of the universe
To throw ourselves on the grass, imagining shapes
Cotton balls of clouds, laughing at our lunacy

Wide smile and open chest
Knowing that we could leave –
Everything is so uncertain

That’s why, living every day as if it were the last
Directly – smoke it, absorb it, wrestle with it
To drink life like a cluster of wine
To be happy is now, and today I am going to live it

Being with you for me means humanity
It is a moment that reminds me of humanity
To live every moment is simply humanity
For I am part of everything, part of humanity
