La Maceta

To Susana

When you leave
my flower pots die
'cause I don't water them with tears
from crying so much my eyes dry up
'cause I don't water them with tears
Oh! from crying so much my eyes dry up.

And with my eyes all dried out
my sight goes blind
and the heart that can't see
can't feel, can't suffer
wilt and dies from sorrow
and the heart that can't see
can't feel, can't suffer
wilt and dies from sorrow.

That's why I planted
my heart in a suitcase
so I can take root
wherever you are.

That's why I tear off my skin
so you can make a suitcase
for when I miss
the body that your clothes hug
for when I miss
the body that your clothes hug.

Wherever you are
bring me to the balcony
so I can show off my true love
let the people know
that I'm not just another
in your flower pot.
