Flor de Lino
Homero Expósito
Flax Flower
He stripped nights waiting in vain for me to give him a kiss
But I dreamed of the big kiss of the earth in heat
Flax Flower
What a strange destiny
Truncated a path
Of flaxes in bloom
I stripped nights
When I was waiting for her on that path
full of shame
Like boys in a new suit
How many things that are gone
And today they always return through the always night of my loneliness!
I saw her bloom like flax
From a mature Argentine field of Sol
If I had understood her
I would already have love on my ranch!
I saw it bloom, but one day
Mandinka the footprint that took her to me!
Flaxflower is gone
And today that the field is in flower
Amalhaya! I miss your love
There is a gate
where the memory
Return to love
May the remorse
of not having loved her
Always leave it open
Flax Flower
I see you in the star
That illuminates the footprint
of my loneliness
I stripped nights
When she waited for me like I wait for her
Hopeful
Like a poor gaucho when he arrives in town
Flower of absence, your memory
It always chases me through the always night of my loneliness
