Little Butterfly
An accordion
With its sad breath.
The night in the glass
Of the cup and the bar
And of the time that passed
My heart
With its drunken emotion
And in another voice, the voice
Of the common story,
It tells my common pain
Little butterfly,
Girl from my neighborhood,
I look for you downtown,
I look for you and don't find you,
Following this ordeal
With the cross of the same mistake.
I look for you because maybe
We would leave arm in arm.
You made a mistake with your lullaby
Of pulsating silks, and I with my confusion
Of delirious dreams,
In a deceitful world.
Let's go back to before!
Give me your arm and let's go!
Neither you nor I
Know which one was lost.
Nor where the good, nor the bad,
Had a final day
And another day began.
I drink more
Because tonight you will come
My heart sees you;
But we'll have to drink a lot
But much more!
