Alelí

They say in her voice there’s a song
That talks about forgetting the heart
That hurts so much to hear it
That angels fall behind her
But she keeps walking on her own
Trying to find something divine
The magic horn crosses everyone
Leaving a tear and her
nostalgia's rainbow mixed
With the sea of days and the song of the birds
And in their lives I sense
That it never reached inside
Where everything is an eternal refuge
And the flowers open with their fingers asking
Where is God? I’m looking for them!
As the sun sets, her skin fell too
And at the edge of the end, she found him.

Fito Paez
And in the forest of her soul, there’s an alelí
Waiting to take flight
And cross the storm of loneliness
So she never has to graduate.

She sighed a love in C
A cloud in D under the sun in G
She never conquered his heart
Her soul pierced in eruption
Played with the reddish fire
Kept busy with the light
And accepted the spell
Then everything fell apart
From her face, the ashes
And a flower she never wanted
Alelí, petal of crosses
Keep me in your dreams
Take me out of the lights
Soon we’ll be brothers forever
Take me in your blood, take me in your womb
Promise me that when it gets dark
You’ll remember me with your smile
That when the alelí disappears in the breeze
You’ll be right in the iris of the sunset and the shine.

Fito Paez
And in the forest of her soul, there’s an alelí
Waiting to take flight
And cross the storm of loneliness
So she never has to graduate.

The truth, I don’t know
I think I’ll never know
If you’re not here, I don’t know what I’m doing here.

Fito Paez
And in the forest of her soul, there’s an alelí
Waiting to take flight
And cross the storm of loneliness
So she never has to graduate.
