Sombras... Nada más!
José María Contursi
Shadows... Nothing more!
I would like to slowly open my veins...
To pour all my blood at your feet...
To be able to show you
That I cannot love more
And then... Die afterwards.
And yet your blue eyes,
Blue like the sky and the sea!
Live closed to me
Without seeing how I am...
Lost in my loneliness!
Shadows, nothing more,
Caressing my hands!
Shadows, nothing more,
In the trembling of my voice!
I could have been happy
And I am dying in life
And living among tears
The most horrendous passages
Of this endless drama...
Shadows, nothing more,
Between your life and my life...
Shadows, nothing more,
Between my love and your love!
How brief was your presence in my weariness,
How warm were your hand and your voice.
Like a firefly arrived
Your light and dissipated
The shadows of my corner...
And I remained like an elf, trembling
Without the blue of your sea eyes,
That have closed to me
Without seeing how I am...
Lost in my loneliness!
