El Retraro Oval
Opera Magna
The Oval Portrait
An obsession took away the breeze
That yesterday lit up my home and left.
I didn't want to see how the brush erased
The color of youth from her skin.
I don't want to wake up,
Because my dream was
to die in this place.
I feel the wind has gone
And that I can never return.
I want to paint in every corner
Of her heart (my love).
A passion condemned me.
I gave my life for an illusion.
I didn't fight.
I don't want to wake up
Because my dream was
to die in this place.
I feel my soul has gone
And that I can never return.
Inspiration led me to you
And even though the canvas yesterday
Betrayed me for love,
I wait for you here.
