Romina
Alejandro Filio
Romina
Romina travels tender and new
from countryside to star
and climbs up the keys
of the piano, ladder.
Romina has escaped far away
chasing a white rabbit
and even though she knows they are waiting for her
she keeps playing.
Romina carries candies
that she throws from the sky
and when the downpour comes
dreams are sweet.
For Romina among the stars
space is a garden
and as long as joy lives
her day is long.
Romina if you had time
think of me.
Romina since you've been away
no game is simple
of the ones I learned
to live.
Romina sings when she comes down
from the mountain to a river
and when morning comes
I look into her eyes.
For Romina a guitar
will always resonate
that as long as hope lives
Romina returns.
Romina sleeps when night falls
rocked by the moon
and from there she recognizes us
looks at us without doubt.
If when the sun that gives a Sunday
promises a beautiful day
it will surely be that with you
Romina laughs.
