Big Cities

Astor Piazzolla

It was at that time that we said: God, give us grace to erect cities just like trees, which achieve ripeness before they dry ... Genesis, chapter 1972, first verse of the future Testament

Big cities with hatred in the veins
Big cities competing for the sky
Big cities, dead bodies standing high
Big cities, to dust they shall return

Big cities with hatred in the veins
Big cities competing for the sky
Big cities, dead bodies standing high
Big cities, to dust they shall return

When all we do is long to see the stars
We lose the earth and sun and who we are
Without a solitude of final scars
Our devastation is approaching fast

Big cities with hatred in the veins
Big cities competing for the sky
Big cities, dead bodies standing high
Big cities, to dust they shall return

Come with me, I need to bear a child
Come kiss me; the future's in our hands
Come swiftly; we shall consider peaceful light
I'm bleeding; I feel it coming now
I'm building a shining boulevard
How pleasing! Come hear the beating of its heart

And every fountain shall exalt the sea
And every corner will have open doors
The blazing sun shall burn on every tree
And every soul shall learn to reach for God

Big cities, big cities that will be new cities
I feel them coming now
Big cities returning from the dust
Big cities, the spirits running free

Big cities, big cities that will be new cities
I feel them coming now
Big cities returning from the dust
Big cities, the spirits running free

Big cities, big cities that will be new cities
I feel them coming now
Big cities returning from the dust
Big cities, the spirits running free

Big cities, big cities that will be new cities
I feel them coming now
Big cities returning from the dust
Big cities, the spirits running free

Big cities, big cities that will be new cities
I feel them coming now
Big cities returning from the dust
Big cities, the spirits running free

Big cities, big cities that will be new cities
