Lyrics
El Faro
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tu cuerpo fue la nave de mis sueños,
tus pechos un timón de doble auxilio,
tu boca una angustiosa y dura proa
que me condujo al fondo del exilio.
Por ti sé de ensenadas nunca abiertas,
por ti sé de un volcán de color rojo.
por ti yo descubrí el faro secreto
y una noche sin luz me llamó su ojo.
He navegado en ti como en un barco
donde se concentraron mis pasiones.
Hice de tu alma un acto de mi vida
para hacerte olvidar mis obsesiones.
La proa me condujo a tu arrecife
y en él yo naufragué con alegría,
puesto que amar es navegar sin rumbo
y naufragar es lenta poesía.
Pero todo es inútil porque un barco
traiciona al navegante sin reparos,
si por tu capitán te preguntaran,
diles que lo cegó la luz del faro
