Casaca Roja

Vivo en una casa en la colina
y usaré el coche una vez al mes
300 pesetas de gasolina y bajo al pueblo
Las lagartijas que cruzan la calle
van veloces yo despacio para evitarlas
Cuántos limones y naranjas
balcones repletos de geranios
para Pascua o bien para las bodas
usamos para lavarnos pétalos de rosa
las lagartijas que cruzan la calle
qué diferente e igual su mundo del mío.
Vivir más al sur para encontrar mi estrella
los cielos, los mares donde estaba yo.
Pasar por el mercado del pescado
comprar en la tienda los collares para los perros
y las vidrieras grandes para el kiosco del jardín.
El fuego incandescente del volcán
alejó el poder de los Casacas Rojas
y qué inhumano parece todo
y ciertos jefes siempre hoy y ciertas masas
cuántos fantasmas nos cruzan la calle.
Regresar al sur para seguir mi destino
la próxima etapa de mi camino en mí
para encontrar mi estrella, los cielos,
los mares donde estaba yo...
