Lyrics
El Viejo
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.
Estoy afónico desde hace tiempo y me sale esta voz débil como un suspiro y hablo a fatigosas sacudidas.
Hago hervir en el hornillo hierbas medicinales recetas de herbolario que se convierten en aire puro, pero añoro tus ojos y la paz del azul en el rincón de mi enfermedad. Me canso desde hace tiempo, he rescatado del desván recuerdos y sombras fieles y salgo a tomar el sol de la plaza tranquila. Si esta carta te parece poco florida no creas que es señal de poco amor te escribo en zapatillas, ya no me queda honor y me pierdo por oscuras melancolías.
