Lucía
Camboy Estevez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tan lánguida tan leve y tan sublime,
cual de la luz del tímido temblor
Es su piel que parece cuando oprime
Que no tiene más peso que una flor
En una flor debió de haber nacido
Y a veces se diría que su piel
Es un velo traslúcido tendido
Sobre su fino cuerpo de clavel
Y al través de su carne transparente
como al través de un vaso de cristal
se mira dilatarse la corriente
de su sangre de púrpura ducal.
Y al través de su carne transparente
como al través de un vaso de cristal




se mira dilatarse la corriente
de su sangre de púrpura ducal.
