Como seduce el mar
Enanitos Verdes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo conocí esta ciudad cuando la noche caía,
Con la luna y su afán de mostrar cada lugar
Con un encanto de niña, de cemento y estrás.

Y me envolvió cómo envuelve del mar
Y fui tan vulnerable en sus brazos de cristal
Y me sedujo cómo se dulce del mar
Y fui tan vulnerable...
Tan vulnerable en sus brazos de cristal.

Y así yo vi pasar el arte milenario
De una estrella de mar.
Y escuche la voz de un hombre de mil años
Con un rostro angelical.

Que me envolvió como envuelve el mar,
Pero fui invulnerable a su canto de ultramar.
Y no intenté siquiera escapar,
Como escapar de esta poesía sin final, sin final.

Yo conocí esta ciudad cuando la noche caía,
Muchos años atrás...
Y ahora estoy aquí, sentado en las piedras




Que lo vieron nacer.
Naceeeeer.
