• Coronavirus: the writer who advanced the pandemic
  • Literature: What do writers write and read in times of the coronavirus?

Since he was discharged on February 23, Joaquín Sabina had not shared anything on his Twitter account, a space where his operation was reported on time last month, after a crash on stage on the 12th.

But everything is different for everyone. We all do things we are not used to and stop doing what used to hold us up. Perhaps from the combination of both circumstances, Sabina began to write and decided to share it.

On Friday the 20th it started with some verses accompanied by the hashtag that most unites us Spaniards today: # QuédateEnCasa. So:

Don't let the cars start

Stop all the factories

May the city be filled with long nights

And cold streets

Let the candles be lit

That theaters and hotels close

Let the sentries fall asleep

In the barracks

Now that there are no vaccines

nor litanies. Now he's on the moon

police. Now that I dream at night, that I sleep during the day.

Now that I am more alive than I am. Now that nothing is urgent, that everything is present, that there is bread for today.

A poem in two tweets that has already received countless reactions. A poem in two tweets that who knows, maybe will become a song.

In concert later, when you can go to concerts.

A return of Sabina to the stage after the coronavirus.
