Amerigo
de Patti Smith
"We were going to see the world
In this land, we placed baptismal fonts
And an infinite number were baptized
And they called us 'caribe'
Which means 'men of great wisdom.'"
Where are you going?
And are you going anywhere?
Where are we going?
Send me a letter if you go at all
"Ah, the salvations of souls!
But wisdom we had not
For these people had neither king nor lord
And bowed to no one
For they've lived in their own liberty."
Where are you going?
And are you going anywhere?
Going in circles
Going in circles anywhere
"I saw and knew the inconstant shifting of fortune
And now I write to you
Words that have not been written,
Words from the new world."
Tracing the circles
Moving across my eyes
Lying on the ship
And gazing at the western sky
Tracing lazy circles in the sky
Hey!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Where are you going?
And are you going anywhere?
Where are you going?
Send me a letter if you go at all
"It's such a delight to watch them dance
Free of sacrifice and romance!
Free of all the things that we hold dear!
Is that clear, your excellency?
And I guess it's time to go
But I gotta send you just a few more lines
From the new world."
Tracing the circles
Moving across my eyes
Lying on the ship
And gazing at the western sky
Tracing lazy circles in the sky
Tracing lazy circles in the sky
Tracing lazy circles
"And the sky opened
And we laid down our armor
And we danced, naked as they
Baptized in the rain
Of the new world."
