Eugenia
Alejandro Filio
Eugenia
Let me steal a kiss from you
like the evening steals in silence
ten minutes from the clock.
Let me settle in the center
of your chest as if it were true
that your mouth called me.
Let time prove to us that we
are made heart to heart,
heart to heart.
Let me dream up a dream for you
as gently as the moon and sun
fall down your hair to your shoulders.
Leave everything and escape now
through the mirror alone with fear inside
interrupting my voice.
Keep the secret of this night in your nightstand
from the world to a kiss and from eleven until two,
and from eleven until two.
Eugenia, downpour of stars.
Eugenia, from one step to your trace,
who can reach.
Leave the pact of a see you later
in case my innocent heart falls into this game.
Leave time for the charm
and the light on in your room
in case I find a reason.
Leave a note if you have to leave
it doesn't matter as long as you don't forget me,
as long as you don't forget me.
Leave incense for the room
and on that black piano play a half scale
in case a song comes along.
Leave it like a toothless dragon
and don't tell it that if I come back
it's because I owe an apology.
Leave the key and an I love you in the garden
in the afternoon I don't respond well for myself
and I never find where to go.
