Depredador
Silvio Rodriguez
Predator
He fell upon his prey and immobilized her like a rope
The little one was a trembling body under his claws
So pulsating
That he felt the lust of thirst, magnificent and burning
And time passed, a long time
Between the predatory fang and the skin
Of his victim in lethargy
And time passed, a long time
Between the predatory fang and the skin
Of his victim in lethargy
The evening pretended not to recognize the old plot
And its mirror was a man, a woman a game and a bed
The pure evening
With its face of innocent meadows and the soul of madness
The evening passed, a long evening
Between the predatory fang and the skin
Of the victim waiting
The evening passed, a long evening
Between the predatory fang and the skin
Of the victim waiting
The vivid, vivid rose of flesh embraced its destiny
And the juices of love ran like perfect wine
Wine of lovers
Knowing how to quench the thirst, the more abundant
And the evening passed without pain
Between the predatory fang and the skin
Of the victim in love
And the evening passed without pain
Between the predatory fang and the skin
Of the victim in love
