Hoy mi deber era cantarle a la patria
Alzar la bandera, sumarme a la plaza
Hoy era un momento más bien optimista
Un renacimiento, un sol de conquista
Pero tu me faltas hace tantos días
Que quiero y no puedo tener alegrías
Pienso en tu cabello que estalla en mi almohada
Y estoy que no puedo dar otra batalla.
Hoy yo que tenía que cantar a coro
Me escondo del día, susurro estoy solo
¿qué hago tan lejos dándole motivos
A esta jugarreta, cruel, de los sentidos?
Tu boca pequeña, dentro de mi beso
Conquista, se adueña, no toca receso
Tu cuerpo y mi cuerpo cantando sudores
Sonidos posesos, febriles temblores.
Hoy mi deber era cantarle a la patria
Alzar la bandera, sumarme a la plaza
Y creo que, acaso, al fin lo he logrado
Soñando tu abrazo, volando a tu lado.
