Hoy viene a mi la damisela soledad
con pamela impertinentes y botón
de amapola de oleaje de sus vuelos,
hoy la voluble señorita es amistad
y acaricia finamente el corazón
con su más delgado pétalo de hielo.
Por eso hoy, gentilmente te convido a pasear
por el patio hasta el florido pabellón
de aquel árbol que plantaron los abuelos,
hoy el ensueño es como el musgo en el brocal
dibujando los abismos de mi amor
melancólico, sutil, plaido cielo.
Viene a mí avanzada, viene tan despacio,
viene con una danza leve del espacio
cedo, me hago lacio y ya vuelo ave, se mece la nave
lenta como el tul en la brisa, suave niña del azul . . .
Oh melancolia, novia silenciosa
intima pareja del ayer,
oh melancolia, amante dichosa
siempre me arrebata tu placer,
oh melancolia, señora del tiempo,
beso que retorna como el mar,
oh melancolia, rosa del aliento
dime quien me puede amar.
Hoy viene a mi la damisela soledad
con pamela impertinentes y botón
de amapola de oleaje de sus vuelos,
hoy la voluble señorita es amistad
y acaricia finamente el corazón
con su más delgado pétalo de hielo.
Por eso hoy, oh melancolia, señora del tiempo,
beso que retorna como el mar,
oh melancolia, rosa del aliento
dime quien me puede amar.
