Oh Melancolia
Silvio Rodriguez
Oh Melancholy
Today the damsel solitude comes to me
With a pamela, impertinent and button
Of poppy in the wave of her flights
Today the fickle miss is friendship
And delicately caresses the heart
With her thinnest petal of ice
That's why today
I kindly invite you to walk
Through the courtyard to the flowery pavilion
Of that tree planted by the grandparents
Today the dream is like moss on the brink
Drawing the abysses of a love
Melancholic, subtle, pale sky
She comes to me, advances
She comes so slowly
She comes in a dance
Light from space
I yield my adoration
And I already fly, bird
The ship sways
Slow like tulle
In the gentle breeze
Girl of the blue
Oh melancholy, silent bride
Intimate partner of yesterday
Oh melancholy, joyful lover
Your pleasure always captivates me
Oh melancholy, lady of time
Kiss that returns like the sea
Oh melancholy, rose of breath
Tell me who can love me
Today the damsel solitude comes to me
With a pamela, impertinent and button
Of poppy in the wave of her flights
Today the fickle miss is friendship
And delicately caresses the heart
With her thinnest petal of ice
That's why today
Oh melancholy, lady of time
Kiss that returns like the sea
Oh melancholy, rose of breath
Tell me who can love me
