Te Llegará Una Rosa
Alberto Cortez
A Rose Will Reach You
A rose will reach you every day
that mediates a distance between us,
and it will be your silent company
when nostalgia hurts you alone.
A rose will reach you every day
foretelling times of joy,
complete companion of my soul,
owner of all tenderness.
I wish to be a fabulous magician
to exchange the roses for stars,
leave them on your pillow silently
and let them all illuminate your dream.
A rose will reach you and the morning
will be to 'live it' in quotes,
your soul will escape through the window
to my shore flying from your shore.
Those who lack imagination
will not understand, it's very complex,
that shortens the distance every day
to receive a rose from afar.
A rose will reach you, and day by day
it will be like removing from the calendar
the pages we still lack
to stop being two lonely ones.
A rose will reach you every day,
that mediates a distance between us,
complete companion of my soul,
owner of all tenderness...
