Soy el hijo de María y de Jesús, la de Alcalá y el de Algeciras
Yo el más pequeño de dos, mi hermano mayor de agosto, de diciembre dieciocho yo
Siempre fui introvertido, tenía miedo, estaba ido
Me gustaba la poesía, el flamenco y mi bujío
No tuve muchos amigos, no era por mirarme el ombligo
Era que a mí me atraía más que lo de fuera, lo que tenía dentro metío'
Jugaba a veces en el barrio por no parecer extraño, pero no encajaba bien con los malos que mandaban en el extrarradio
Siempre me vi rarito, me daba pena salir en clase
En la pizarra, cualquiera me hacía chiquito al burlarse
Quería guitarra y son, pero en el pupitre al sol con mi compañero jugaba a ser el más vacilón
Yo relleno y el flaquito
En la escuela me hice el malo creyendo que así no me darían más palos, pero me los llevé en la calle y en el corazón y en los rellanos
Quería guitarra y son, pero en el pupitre al sol con mi compañero jugaba a ser el más vacilón
Mi padre tocaba en un grupo
Mi madre luchaba en la casa
¿Cuántas veces la vi llorando porque perdía la batalla?
Y cuando estallaba su impotencia, se me clavaba en el alma
Y en las costillas con aquellos gritos de plata
No me malentiendan, mi madre fue salvavidas
Y mi padre, aunque faltaba, también peleaba la vida
No me gustaba el fútbol
Me pedía ser el portero en mi escenario imaginario siempre ganaba seis cero
Pasábamos malos tiempos, pero teníamos huevos para ganarle al tiempo un pedacito de cielo
La vida se fijó en mí y empecé a soñar en grande
Total para seguir en lo mismo, ya tenía el labio en sangre
No creía en los milagros ni en que pudiera lograrlo
Además ya había gente que te echaba el agua a jarro'
Pero insistí de una forma que aún hoy me deja helado
Yo no quería nada, pero lo buscaba a nado
Sabía que la música era lo que me sacaría del lodo
Como si fuera el anillo que buscaba ese tipo que le llaman Frodo
Y de repente me vi subiéndome a un escenario
Gente que no conocía, mis cancioncillas cantando, jaja
Y decidí dar las gracias, hacer siempre lo que esté en mi mano
Para agradecer a la vida semejante regalo
Llevo ya treinta años dedicado a este sueño que empezó como empeño, ilusión, opción y anhelo
Y ese soy yo, resumiendo, desde que tengo razón
No intento engañar a nadie sino escribir mi canción
En medio de tanta mentira
No sabes cómo agradezco
El soplo de verdad que gira
En torno a ti amanezco
Ahora que es todo apariencia
Valoro en su justa medida
Lo auténtico de tu presencia
En el albor de mi vida
