Tu Nombre
Rafael Berrio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No estás en estas mismas calles desoladas que he llenado de pasquines descalzo, esta mañana, con tu nombre, tu nombre. Una vedette tocaya tuya ha empapelado la ciudad en primavera.
Oh, tragedia suburbial, menor, local, pero patética y heroica. Oh, corazón lleno de vino, degenera y degenera el pensamiento en ti.
No es el encanallado Mr. Hyde quien hoy te ama en silencio. Ni el aire ausente mío con que el mundo me sorprende despistado en ti. Ningún público, por tanto, para aplaudir mi espléndido gesto esta mañana de marzo.
Ningún premio a mi vigilia, descalzo, yo invocaba tu nombre a media voz y lo sellaba. Yo emulaba ese aire hondo y doliente de tu andar.
Tu nombre. el mío, aislado y desprestigiado, tan desacreditado, sonaba en otro tiempo para mí como una campanita dentro de tu boca, y sonaba cantarín tu acento. Sonaba día tras día. La vergüenza compartida es tierna y sexy...
Mi delicada, silenciosa y leal amiga, hoy estás quieta en el recuerdo agridulce de un gran sueño que aún me hace sollozar. Cada mañana, la culpa de quererte no me deja respirar...
Oh, tragedia suburbial, menor, local, pero patética y heroica. Oh, corazón lleno de vino, degenera y degenera el pensamiento en ti.
