Me Habla de Amor
Santiago Benavides
Talks to Me About Love
What is it about six in the evening
People on trains, the same station
And what do little children have
Sweat on their foreheads and today's newspaper
What is it that a wooden table has
A piece of bread, a stopped clock
A street painted with a happy new year
And a dog barking in oblivion
What does the wind have
That moves
Your black hair and the world
Still beautiful
What is it that has
That talks to me about love
What is it that despite everything
Talks to me about love
What do neighborhood schools have
The cow, the horse, the rooster's crest
The bearded tree, the market square
The rain falling on a sunny day
What is hidden by the unknown
The poor poet, the bus singer
The acrobat who if he had been born
In London would be a prodigy artist
What is it that has
That talks to me about love
What is it that despite
Everything talks to me about love
The photo album
The baby tooth
Talks to me about love
The silly pigeons
The toy train
Talks to me about love
Seeing good people
Who don't stop
Talks to me about love
My world that still has
Little green pieces
Talks to me about love
