Graffiti de Amor
Carlos Varela
Love Graffiti
It wasn't known from which neighborhood
But when everything was dark
She arrived under the light of dawn
And with her lip crayon
She drew signs on the walls
She wanted to paint what her soul felt
And she painted and painted everywhere
Thousands of fish of a single color
And filled the streets with her love graffiti
When dawn broke floating
The city flooded with drawings
No one understood who dared so much
Some were looking for her
And others were erasing the walls
And she continued and even painted the cars
And she painted and painted everywhere
Thousands of fish of a single color
And filled the asphalt with her love graffiti
That's why they erased
Buildings, walls, and shop windows
And even a Moon that a child drew on the sidewalk
And that's how they prohibited
Drawing what the soul felt
To protect and chain the calm
And since they didn't leave her a place
To draw her pain
She scratched her body
With a love tattoo
She scratched her body
With her love tattoo
