Clavel Del Aire
Ignacio Corsini
Carnation of the Air
Like the carnation of the air
She was just like the flower
Stuck in my heart
Oh how I cried! Why did she leave me?
Like the carnation of the air
She was just like the flower
In this region just like the ombú
All alone and without a flower, that’s how I was
And trapped in pain, I lived for years
Just like the ombú in this region
And my branches were drying up
When one afternoon she came looking for my shadow
A bird sang in my branches and the tree without flowers had its bloom
But a happy traveler, a cursed traveler crossed the payment
In his arms, she left me, and I was left again without a flower
The one who crossed was the wind, the pampero wind that took her away
In this region just like the ombú, all alone and without a flower, that’s how I was
And trapped in pain, I lived for years, just like the ombú in this region
And my branches were drying up
When one afternoon she came looking for my shadow
A bird sang in my branches and the tree without flowers had its bloom.
