Flor De Un Día
Luis Eduardo Aute
Fleeting Flower
As it arrived
It passed
With the urgency of someone fleeing
From an evil that destroys everything
An implacable evil
Much worse than the most fearsome
Criminal
And it flees, flees
From the passage of time, love
Flees from you, flees from me
Love flees
Intense flower
Of a day
When remembering
The sea
A mirage of skeletons
Reveals all its secrets
I only see flying
A battalion of vultures watching
The sea
And it flees, flees
From the bird, freedom
Flees from you, flees from me
Love flees
Intense flower
Of a day
To live
To die is something more than its opposite
It's its perfect corollary
Its fatal dimension
The eternity that is approaching
The end
And it flees, flees
From the heart, its beating
Flees from you, flees from me
Love flees
Intense flower
Of a day
