Acuarela Del Río
Ginette Acevedo
Watercolor of the River
A little stream here,
A raft, a girl,
A flower in the river,
A sky landscape,
Reflecting the waters of the great Paraná,
Beyond, a water hyacinth
Floats toward the shore,
Where the willows stand,
Inviting us to dream.
Watercolor of the river,
That paints with lights
My sweet romance,
In this world, there’s no frame,
More divine and beautiful,
For our love,
With its sun,
With its warm hues,
With its fragrant breeze,
In a magical sunset,
Of a slow evening.
Adrift, the boat goes,
With my love down the river,
Rocking us with its sway,
That matches our love
And resting on my shoulder,
She whispers in my ear,
While I kiss her hands,
Completing my happiness,
Scents of orange blossom.
