The following is my translation and re-envisioning as lyrics from an earlier poem I wrote in 2019 (Heartbreak). It is a response to my reading heartbreaking poems from (apparently) young women and girls about cutting and other forms of self-harm. Whether fictional or biographical, they touched me and I wrote the English original in one sitting, and posted it shortly after reading the poems--one in particular. I previously translated the poem into Spanish in its free-verse, generating a longer poem with very different form. Today also in one sitting, I shortened the long lines into a more effective Lyrics from a musical standpoint, and though it is significantly different from the original aside from an added rhyme scheme (absent in both language versions of the original). I envisioned it as a Flamenco piece because of the emotional force I would not attain as envisioned in any other genre and created relatively sparse, yet carefully tailored instructions for DUNO for the music and song style I wanted. It is a rare one-iteration song I like very much as is. Hope you like it too. ANGUSTIA (C) Victor D. Lopez 2019, 2026. All rights reserved. Link to current draft version of the song available at https://suno.com/s/shdlxD0vExOVQebA (free). Yo también conozco angustia, Aunque solo uno lo sabe, He anhelado que acabe. He oído la dulce voz, Susurrado en mi oído, Hablándome del olvido. Pero siempre pasó, Muchos sueños incumplidos, Y planes interrumpidos. Chorus No hay nadie como tú, Única, en el universo, Dale alas a tu verso. Aunque no soy chica joven, Comprendo bien ese ardor, E insoportable dolor. Pero el hacerse daño, Para escapar el dolor, Cría un problema peor. Compréndeme, por favor, Jeringas, pipas, cuchillos, No te brindaran auxilios. La respuesta está en ti, En esa chispa enterrada, Búscala, y dale entrada. Chorus No hay nadie como tú, Única, en el universo, Dale alas a tu verso. No hay voz como la tuya, Para cantar tu emoción, Con tu alma y corazón. Potencial ilimitado, Una semilla preciosa, Que crecerá en una rosa. Bridge El estiércol vida, Con lágrimas de tristeza, **** flor a tu belleza. La chispa en tu corazón, Dara luz a la alegría, A través de tu poesía. Disolviendo los espectros, Y las sombras oscuras, Que te brindan noches duras. Mírate en el espejo, Ignora las cicatrices, Y recuerdos infelices. Chorus No hay nadie como tú, Única, en el universo, Dale alas a tu verso. Outre En el mismo tu verás, Que pronto florecerás, Tus vida producirá, Fruto que encantará. Poem and Lyrics (C) Victor D.
