Virgen de La Amargura

Breaking my promise
Not to see you again even in a painting
I have sat at your table
Virgin of bitterness
To play our luck with dice
To absolve you of all my sins

I bless the sentence
To the sound of your drone that makes me strong
And I kiss your chains
And I want to promise you
To be free like two crossed-out verses
From the dictate of the revolution

I accuse myself of dying without your mouth
I confess that since you
Left
I only dance at parties where they play
The music of the hanged man's waltz

Virgin of bitterness
Give me back my life
Without you everything is usury
And lost nights
Invoices
Fever
Wounds without sutures
Falls
Conjectures
Shakes
Locks
Farewells of madness and alley

The war is over
I come to kneel at your bed
A thousand soldiers pray to you
And the palace is on fire
Your general lowers my flags
The beasts enter the cathedral

The king died on the battlefield
The queen has gone over to the enemy
I only hang myself with the medal
Of not knowing how to count without you

Virgin of bitterness
Give me back my life
Without you everything is usury
And lost nights
Invoices
Fever
Wounds without sutures
Falls
Conjectures
Shakes
Locks
Farewells of madness and alley

You go and you don't go
And when you come
I pray for the trains
To go to the wrong station

Virgin of bitterness
