Muñeco de Trapo
Francisco Xavier
Rag Doll
Today you came close to my side
and on my shoulder you said goodbye,
that maybe it would hurt me but it would be for the best.
I held you in my arms
asking in your ear what was the reason
and hesitating between tears you broke my heart.
You told me he was a man,
that I was a boy
and you a woman.
You asked me to understand you
that what I had was only
to forget about him.
I felt like a rag doll
that after being used
is forgotten.
Then you took your things
with a hypocritical kiss, you left with him,
suddenly a great emptiness,
suddenly I remembered you.
Today in that beautiful picture
with those manners,
all woman,
that made me feel like a man
but also like a rag doll.
You told me he was a man,
that I was a boy
and you a woman.
You asked me to understand you
that what I had was only
to forget about him.
I felt like a rag doll
that after being used
is forgotten.
