Song lyrics that mean something to me...

[...]
Que es mi barco mi tesoro,
Que es mi Dios la libertad,
Mi ley la fuerza y el viento,
Mi única patria la mar
[...]
Y si caigo,
¿Qué es la vida?
Por perdida
Ya la dí
[...]
~del Canción del Pirata por José de Espronceda, s.XIX

[...] If I could sing a song for every bomb that flies
I'd sing each and all the days
If there were to be a verse for every dying child's cries
For every helpless father's gaze
If I wrote a love letter to each corpse as it is carried
I'd never still my pen
If I had to stop a moment for each one that's been buried
I'd never move again [...]
~David Rovics, 2001
