Bulevar
Carlos Varela
Boulevard
On the boulevard the curious
stick their noses in the shop windows
and the old man selling newspapers
announces that the sky won't cloud over.
On the boulevard the people
corner, have something to find
and the shops are fish tanks
reflecting the city.
On the boulevard the toys
provoke the laughter of a little one
but other boys prefer
to look at a mannequin's breasts.
On the boulevard the people
corner, have something to find
and the shops are fish tanks
reflecting the city.
On the boulevard everything works
you have to see the eyes of the street sweeper
it's like counting the stars
and not knowing where to start first.
On the boulevard the people
corner, have something to find
and the shops are fish tanks
reflecting the city.
On the boulevard the curious
stick their noses in the shop windows
the old man selling newspapers
left because he knows it's going to drizzle.
