Una Rosa Y Un Farol
La Chicana
A Rose And A Lantern
I'll steal a red rose from the flower shop,
I'll wait for you as always under the lantern;
You'll arrive at midnight disheveled, blushing,
You'll give me a long kiss and ask for forgiveness.
I'll tell you I don't care, I love you like before,
I forgive you every moment of your betrayal.
I just want you to show up and go back to the past,
To this corner of my life with the rose and the lantern.
In the sacred tin I already vomited my sins,
From your embrace and your breath, I don't even have the smell.
I remember you asleep, cheeks blushing,
That's all I have, and a rose and a lantern.
I waited for you like a soldier, like an abandoned car;
I waited for you until the night faded.
When morning threatened, I smoked the fourth cigarette,
I stomped on it angrily when the lantern went out.
