L. y M. Fernando Delgadillo, marzo 1997
De que le hablaría a la gente
De las ciudades perdidas
Usted logró la entrevista.
Y lo dejó a mi opinión.
Por qué podría aconsejar
A la gente desvestida
Que vive de la basura
Y se cubre con cartón y
Que no avisa dirección.
Qué le podría yo contar
A su abuelo de la vida
Le pediría su consejo
No le daría una lección.
Así vería en sus palabras
De ciudades perdidas
Las presiones, los sueños rotos
Las pesadillas.
Cuánto México neto
Habla a través de esa voz
Habla a través de su voz.
Ya hace rato que
Le vengo oyendo a usted.
Entre tonos y mofas
Cierta mala fe.
Algo en sus preguntas
Se hizo en forma tal
Que a lo que conteste
Siempre suene mal.
Voy a recordarle que escribo canciones
Sin más intenciones que de mejorar.
Ojalá que un día sirvieran y cuestionen.
Con que cada quien confronte una verdad,
Podría decir...que funciona intentar.
Sabe usted dónde se hallan
Las ciudades perdidas
Luego no están perdidas
Se las puede encontrar
Porque no va y les pregunta
A ellos de sus heridas
Seguro que consigue
Un reportaje sin par
Y entrevista de verdad
Qué soy yo para la gente
De las ciudades perdidas
Que sobrevivo perdido
En este tiempo y lugar
También soy de una ciudad
Sobrepoblada y fría
Que a veces se conmueve
Si nos mira llorar
Para que quiero más
Nacer allá o aquí de eso
Nadie tiene la culpa
Nadie disfruta el derecho
De elegir, pienso yo
Que les puedo decir
Que les puedo contar
Piense también y ayúdeme a contestar
Unas son semillas y otras no serán
Ojalá que un día sirvieran y cuestionen
Con que cada quien confronte una verdad
Podría decir...que funciona intentar
A veces escuché de las ciudades perdidas
Que extrañas historias se puede uno hallar
El que busca encuentra ciudades perdidas
¿porque están ahí? ¿quién las dejó extraviar?
Nadie quiere oír a las ciudades perdidas
¿dónde está su voz? ¿quién no los deja hablar?
¿Qué secretos esconden las ciudades perdidas
Hay memorias, historias, leyendas, serán?
Algunos tienen miedo alas ciudades perdidas
¿son gente decente, se dejan tocar?
¿Cómo se reproducen, cómo se comunican
Qué estarán maquinando? ¿quién es su capitán?
Adivina qué habita las ciudades perdidas
¿son hostiles, seniles, de abriles, febriles
Roedores, rumores, actores de la dirección
Marginal de algún reino animal?
Olvidado, guardado que a veces se ve
Pronunciado entre dientes hirientes
Dolientes, carentes, durmientes, pero
Inteligentes. ¿Qué toman, qué roban, qué
Inculpan, que piden y hasta sobreviven
Y de los que nadie quisiera encontrar
En un alto, en esquinas, ni en los callejones,
Ni hallar entre líneas sus rostros burlones
Porque aún es posible dejar de mirar
¿y cómo, y cómo lo ves tú?
