Del Dicho Al Hecho
El Chaqueño Palavecino
From Words to Deeds
Those pretty words
that your voice whispered
were sand castles
on the beaches of my love.
They no longer keep me awake
to your flowery oaths
have turned into thorn bouquets
the promises of your love.
Because from words to deeds
there is a long way, there is a long way
do not waste words
that the water carries, that the wind sweeps away.
Because from words to deeds
there is a long way, there is a long way
to finish with you
right now I have the right.
Because from words to deeds
there is a long way
everything you tell me today will be a lie
even if it's true.
Before giving me your scent
your jasmine withered
because with clear water
you did not water your garden.
From the mouth outwards
everything can be invented
but the eyes do not lie
do not try to deceive me.
