Influenced by Juan Luis Guerra 4.40, Silvio Rodríguez, Luis Segura, Pat Metheny. Mateo Céspedes spent over a decade in his family's Santiago woodworking shop, learning the stories of his neighbors by repairing their broken furniture. At 32, he traded his tools for a requinto guitar, building sophisticated bachatas with a carpenter's precision and a poet's heart. On his desk, he still keeps his grandfather's favorite chisel, a reminder to build songs that, like a well-made chair, are meant to last.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Esa mecedora de caoba en casa de Javier,
la encontré un martes de febrero, empezaba a llover.
“Cuídala,” me dijo, “es reliquia de mi abuela”.
Bajo el cojín de flores, un arete que no era de ella.
El metal frío contra mi palma, un lujo que no conocía,
olía a perfume ajeno y a mentira recién planchada.

[Chorus]
Y guardé mi silencio de ebanista,
un clavo helado en la garganta, una verdad que no hice mía.
Pulí la caoba hasta que brilló su mentira,
y el secreto se quedó en la veta, hecho una astilla.

[Verse 2]
Tomé la medida exacta del daño estructural,
una pata floja, un punto débil, fácil de arreglar.
Le apliqué la cola, prensé la unión con seriedad.
Me pagó con un abrazo, “¡qué nivel de honestidad!”
El olor a serrín se mezclaba con mi duda,
y él feliz, me sirvió una Presidente bien fría, casi desnuda.

[Chorus]
Y guardé mi silencio de ebanista,
un clavo helado en la garganta, una verdad que no hice mía.
Pulí la caoba hasta que brilló su mentira,
y el secreto se quedó en la veta, hecho una astilla.

[Bridge]
Años después, en la Zona, los veo a veces caminar.
¿Fui cobarde o fui prudente al no querer clavar
un tornillo de duda en su felicidad?
Quizás hay vigas que es mejor nunca probar.

[Outro]
(False ending - music fades completely for 3-5 seconds)

…todavía siento esa espina de caoba en el pulgar.
