Poetry set to music where poems are read and sang - poesia musicalizada con poemas recitados y cantados
As a poet I use music as a vehicle to take poetry out of the books and have people listen to music being read and sang as well. All the titles are in spanish and some of the lyrics have been translated into english and french. In the album "Cuantos Poemas" all the poems are mine, set to music by italian composer Massimiliano Agelao. In the album "Poesia Necesaria" the poes were chosen from well known latinamerican and spanish poets, set to music by cuban composer Ana María García and arrangements by Massimiliano Agelao.

Story behind the song
The song comes from the poem by the same name published in the book "en nuestra casa". Italian Composer Massimiliano Agelao uses the verses, read and sang, to create a deeply moving love piece.
Lyrics
SPANISH: cuántos poemas llevan tus ojos como guía, cuántas noches de palabras, de idas y venidas, contravías, cuántas caricias llevo en mi pecho, en mi frente, en mi piel, cuántas deudas tengo con la vida que te trajo hacia mí, como una coincidencia, una cadena de encuentros y despedidas, cuántas verdades hemos ido tejiendo desnudando pasados y mentiras, cuántos momentos de luz, de calor, de magia compartida, cuántos corazones hemos dibujado en el aire, cuántos te quieros hemos dejado en silencio... ahora, nada de esto importa, hoy, de nuevo descubro, de nuevo siento, que el infinito anda muy cerca cuando en mis brazos te sostengo, cuando te acaricio el pelo y en silencio te deseo. ENGLISH: how many poems do your eyes carry like a guiding light how many nights of words of comings and goings wrong turns how many caresses does my breast carry my face my skin how many debts do I have with life that drew you toward me like a coincidence a chain of encounters and farewells how many truths have we woven uncovering our pasts our deepest lies how many moments of light of warmth of shared magic how many hearts have we sketched in the air how many I love you’s have we left in silence today, none of this is important any longer now I discover once again I feel once more that the infinite is right beside us when I hold you in my arms when I touch your skin and in silence I long for you
