Frescos como uvas
Estelares Lyrics

Frescos como uvas
Nuestros días en mi memoria
Sentí que no estaba bien
Que perdía el tiempo y esas cosas
Vi que no estabas más
Y corrí a buscar a mis amigos
Pero no estabas en el club
Bebí un trago y me fui al sur

Es otra crisis de fe
Me dije el décimo día
Ya no me verás caer
Si me acostumbré a esta vida
Vi la ruta del invierno y el frío de abril
Y conseguí un piano, un abrigo y un souvenir
Cultivé tantas rosas
Que alguna me tuvo que herir
Lustré bien los zapatos
Aquellos con los que me acostumbré a huir
Di mi número de casa
A todos menos a la traición
Y compré un regalo

Para mi silencio y para tu voz
Vi la ruta...
