La Danza de Las Libelulas
Manuel Garcia
The Dance of the Dragonflies
Now it seems that I
Must look towards the sea
Discover the night and its reflection among the boats
Tomorrow you will find a flower that I left for you
You will embrace its soft fire against your chest
And in a subtle dance, dragonflies from the garden
Will cross the sky of your feelings
That is to say, beauty that I want to forget
Calls me, comes to find me
Makes me dream
That is to say, with the violence of the sea
I would like to kiss again
Until bleeding
And even though for years I
Have lived far from the sea
I always return to the town
Where I imagined long ago
My lady and her flower
With her parasol and my love
Lady of the camellia garden
That is to say, beauty that I want to forget
Calls me, comes to find me
Makes me dream
That is to say, with the violence of the sea
I would like to kiss again
Until bleeding
