Romanza
M. Malavasi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Algo se está quemando
entre las brasas,
arrullo y diente
para entrañar azul
sobre el pie de mi guitarra.
anidando el vientre
entre las hebras del terciopelo.
Luna y dedal para sus sueños
bordarme el alma,
mujer, con los ojos, bordarme el alma.
El otoño tejió un nido en su pecho
fecundo y caliente
como el destino de sus palabras.
Ay, si se vuelve torcaza en el aire,
su mano señora,
anidando despacio el canto de los silencios.
