This is one of twelve music videos from the album, "Gallery: escenas del viaje." The album is about my friend Giovanny Padilla Mojica and the ways our lives have intersected, including Giovanny's migrant journey to the US. The song Caracol portrays the spiral path of the snail, architect of love, builder of peace, and traditional healer. 

Este es uno de doce videos de música del album, "Gallery: escenas del viaje." El album habla de mi amigo Giovanny Padilla Mojica y el cruce de nuestras vidas, incluyendo el viaje de inmigración de Giovanny a los EE UU. La canción Caracol habla del camino de espiral del caracol, el architecto del amor, constructor de la paz, y el curandero.

CARACOL

Caracol, caracol, healing snail, healing snail

Caracoles se desplazan con lentitud---se contractan, se elongan con exactitud

auto producen su aciete para moverse mas---a pesar de los obstaculos no quedan atras

El caracol es curandero es arquitecto---el sabe corregir todos sus defectos

puede escapar del pelotón---lleva el secreto en su caparazón

Para curar tu corazon destrozado---hay que transformar a los pedazos

pintarlos con brocha, bordarlos en tela---en la oscuridad encender una vela

Si quieres vivir, si te quieres sanar---aprenderás a perdonar

busca justicia, reparación---escucha siempre a tu corazón

Caracol, caracol, healing snail, healing snail-----Caracol, caracol, quiero ser, como el

Snail, snail, the children wail-----sister weeps behind the veil

bodies locked inside this jail-----but our eyes are on your winding trail

Snail, snail, let’s set sail-----your spiral path never fails

past the land of our fathers-------lead us all beside still waters

If you want to mend your broken heart-----turn the broken pieces into art

paint with a brush or stitch it in canvas-----so the whole world can understand

If you want another chance to live-----learn from the snail how to forgive

architect of love, builder of peace-----your healing powers never cease

Señoras y señores los invito a juntar sus manos y aplaudir

a este animal asombroso. Un aplauso para el amigo Caracol

Caracol, caracol, healing snail, healing snail-----caracol, caracol, quiero ser, como el
