Un Turista Feliz
Abraham Boba
A Happy Tourist
I got something for you
Nicely wrapped in local leaves
From the country I visited
Escaping from you
I left it when I entered
When I saw it starting to shake
And that it was going to fall
And that it was going to break
And I wouldn't have reasons to stay here
Even if you want to see it now
You know I like to illustrate
The trips like this
To show that I was there
Here I am alone in the square
And here alone in a hotel
These focused afternoons
And here, here, here is where I thought of you the most
I have to admit
That someone once made me laugh
And forget about you
With the moments there
Her name was Solitude
And she worked as a cultural guide
And she made me feel
A happy tourist
And she gave me reasons to stay there
Still, I got up
And left Solitude in bed
And went to look
For your gift in a place
And running I remembered
That your taste was starting to change
And that's when I decided
To be heard in the country's leaves
Now you can open it
Don't be scared if it looks like me
You can do with it
Whatever makes you happy
Present it in society
Or use it for voodoo
Or pawn it just like that
They might give you something
And you won't have to invite me back
I won't travel again
I won't find anything better
Than to give
