María

Maybe your name was just Maria..!
I don't know if you were the echo of an old song,
But long ago, you were deeply mine
Over a sad, love-faded landscape...

Autumn brought you, soaking in agony,
Your poor little hat and brown coat...
You were like the street of melancholy,
That rained...rained on my heart..!

Maria..!
In the shadows of my room
It's your step that returns...

Maria..!
And it's your voice, small and sad,
The one from the day you said:
'There's nothing left between us..'

Maria..!
The most mine..! The distant one..!
If you were to return another morning
Through the streets of goodbye..!

Your eyes were harbors holding absences,
Their dream horizon and a silence of flowers...
But your kind hands, they returned present,
To heal my fever, faded from love...

An autumn brought you..! Your name was Maria,
And I never knew anything about your unhappy path...
If you were like the landscape of melancholy,
That rained...rained, on the gray street...
