Si lo verde tuviera otro nombre
Debería llamarse rocío
Si pudiera crecer desde el agua al laurel
Volvería a la infancia del río
Si pudiera crecer desde el agua al laurel
Volvería a la infancia del río
En lo verde laurel de tus ojos
El misterio del bosque se asoma
Y la vida otra vez vuelve flor de tu piel
Bajo un Sol de muchacha y aroma
Y la vida otra vez vuelve flor de tu piel
Bajo un Sol de muchacha y aroma
Dejame en lo verde
Celebrar el día
Porque por lo verde
Regreso a la vida
Yo muero para volver
Juntando rocío en la flor del laurel
Yo muero para volver
Juntando rocío en la flor del laurel
Si lo verde supiera tu nombre
La ternura no me olvidaría
Porque viene de vos puro y simple el verdor
Como el simple verdor de la vida
Porque viene de vos puro y simple el verdor
Como el simple verdor de la vida
Se me ha vuelto cogollo el silencio
De esperarte a la orilla del río
Y me gusta saber que un aroma a laurel
Te lleno de rocío el olvido
Y me gusta saber que un aroma a laurel
Te lleno de rocío el olvido
Dejame en lo verde
Celebrar el día
Porque por lo verde
Regreso a la vida
Yo muero para volver
Juntando rocío en la flor del laurel
Yo muero para volver
Juntando rocío en la flor del laurel
