Naranjo en Flor

(Orange Blossom)



Era mas blanda que el agua,
que el agua blanda,
era mas fresca que el rio,
naranjo en floor...
Y en esa calle de estio,
calle perdida,
dejo un pedazo de vida
y se marcho...

Primero hay que saber sufrir,
despues amar, despues partir
y al fin andar sin pensamiento...
Perfume de naranjo en flor,
promesas vanas de un amor
que se escaparon en el viento...
Despues, que importa el despues?
Toda mi vida es el ayer
que me detiene en el pasado,
eterna y vieja juventud
que me ha dejado acobardado
como un pajaro sin luz.

Que le habran hecho mis manos?
Que le habran hecho
para dejarme en el pecho
tanto dolor?
Dolor de vieja arboleda,
cancion de esquina
con un pedazo de vida,
naranjo en flor..
