Huracan Meri

I’ll play
At making up a name for you
Like they do with hurricanes
Thinking it through
Maybe it’s because I’ve seen
What the American sky is like
I’ll remember you
I’ll remember you

It’s true you’ve turned my world upside down
From parallel to meridian
I’ll remember you
I’ll remember you

Only now I don’t lose my mind every time
When they talk about you
Only now that I’m thinking it through
I was surprised
Smiling like this...

So from today
I’ll call you that
You’ll be for me
My hurricane Meri
A hurricane of tangled hair over me
Over me...
It’s passed
Like a train that won’t stop again
That’s what you are

I’ll remember you
I’ll remember you

And if in another sky I see you again
I’ll be able to tell you that I
Have a safer refuge today
Now that I know
That I’ll recognize you

So from today
I’ll call you that
You’ll be for me
My hurricane Meri
A hurricane of tangled hair over me
Over me...
It’s passed
Like a time that won’t come back
It’s passed
Like a time that won’t come back
That’s what you are
