Flor de Azalea
Chavela Vargas
Azalea Flower
Like foam that inertly carries the mighty river
Azalea flower, life in its avalanche swept you away
But in saving you, you were able to find protection and shelter
To heal your wounded heart, from the pain
Your smile reflects the passage of dark hours
Your gaze the most bitter desperation
Today, I want you to forever forget your past sorrows
And may only serene hours fill your heart
I wish to be the swallow that at dawn
Came to your window to see through the glass
And gently wake you if you're still asleep
At the dawn of a new life full of love
I wish to be the swallow that at dawn
Came to your window to see through the glass
And gently wake you if you're still asleep
At the dawn of a new life, full, full of love.
