Al Alba
José Mercé
At Dawn
If I told you my love
That I fear the early morning
I don't know what stars these are
That hurt like threats
They say the moon bleeds
At the edge of its scythe
I sense that after the night
Will come the longest night
I want you not to leave me
Oh my love at dawn
At dawn, at dawn
At dawn, at dawn
The children we never had
Hide in the sewers
They eat the last flowers
It seems they foresee
That the approaching day
Oh comes with delayed hunger
(Chorus)
Thousands of silent vultures
Are spreading their wings
Don't be fooled my love
While the silence advances
Accursed dance of the dead
Oh gunpowder of the morning
(Chorus)
At dawn, at dawn
At dawn, at dawn
At dawn, at dawn
At dawn, at dawn
Oh I want
You not to leave me
Oh my love at dawn
At dawn, at dawn
At dawn, at dawn
It seems they foresee
Oh my love at dawn
At dawn, at dawn
At dawn, at dawn
This silence advances
Oh my love at dawn
At dawn, at dawn
At dawn, at dawn
Oh I want
You not to leave me
Oh my love at dawn
At dawn, at dawn
At dawn, at dawn
