Ausencia
Alex Alvear Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Otra noche de insomnio en mi soledad
Cada segundo encierra una eternidad
Y en el glacial abismo de mi quebranto
Busco la paz de tu piel, la luz de tu ser.

Pinto con tus recuerdos una canción
Un himno de añoranza del corazón
Que evoca tu sonrisa de primaveras
Aquel sutil hechizo que me desarmó
Para embriagarme en el ensueño de tu tibia voz.

Yo sé que la distancia es como un puñal
Que sin piedad destila su mal
Y envenena con su hiel.
No habrá ningún dolor que pueda aplacar
Esta incansable fuerza de amar.

Hacemos una tregua tu ausencia y yo
La encontraré de nuevo en mi habitación
Me arrullan las caricias de la certeza




De aquel mañana que muy pronto llegará
Cuando al calor de tu regazo duerma ala fin en paz.
