Liuba María Hevia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
hay sueños para los locos,
hay sueños para las piedras,
hay sueños para los muertos,
hay sueños para la tierra.
Yo sé los sueños que quedan,
los sueños que todavía
regando con alboroto
su misteriosa armonía.
Yo sé los sueños descalzos,
desnudos, dueños del día,
fraternos, vírgenes, mansos,
reveladores del cántaro
de la poesía.
Hay sueños que se nos duermen,
hay sueños que llegan tarde
pero encuentran su estación.
Los sueños son ese instante,
la luz que ve el caminante
debajo del corazón.
Yo sé los sueños que mueren,
eternos pájaros rotos,
son esos que nos padecen,
son esos los que adolecen
de no vivir en nosotros.
Yo sé los sueños que muerden
donde la carne no sabe,
herida oscura que azota,
coartada de la derrota,
dolor quemando sus naves.
Hay sueños que se nos duermen,
hay sueños que llegan tarde
pero encuentran su estación.
Los sueños son ese instante,
la luz que ve el caminante
debajo del corazón.
Y esperan en una canción.
