Antes del estío



© Tracey Sylvester Harris 







Every time I see a river
[...]
I don't need your picture on the wall
I don't need anything at all


(Van Morrison)



Solo vine a traerte una canción,
A sacudir  la arena de tus pies
Y enseñarte a bucear en el abismo.
No me dio tiempo a mostrarte
El mar de todos mis veranos
Ni darte a probar la fruta exquisita
Que estalla de la higuera en agosto.
Solo vine a dejarte una canción,
La huella de mis labios,
Unas gotas de agua salada,
Y un rastro de almizcle
En la funda de tu almohada;
A sellar tus párpados con mis dedos,
Arrancar unos ramos de lavanda
Y una flor de tu jardín.
Nada más quiero llevarme.
Pero antes de que el estío llegue
Quiero regalarte esta canción.

Every time I see a river

Haven't heard your voice in quite a while
Haven't seen you dance or seen you smile
I can go days where nothing is wrong
But it just doesn't last very long
Every time I see a river
Every time I heard a train
Every time I hear a sad song
It reminds me of what we had then
Every time I see a river
Feels like I'm back in love again
My life seems together and I'm doing just fine
But I remember when I was yours and you were mine
I don't need your picture on the wall
I don't need anything at all
But Every time I see a river
Every time I hear a train
Every time I hear a sad song
It reminds me of what we had then, oh
Every time I see a river
Feels like I'm back in love again
I just can't stand the pain
Haven't heard your voice in quite a while
Haven't seen you dance or seen you smile
I can go days where nothing is wrong
It just don't last for very long
Every time I see a river
Every time I hear a train
Every time I hear a sad song
I remember what we had then, what we had then
Every time I see a river
Feels like I´m back in love again
I just can´t stand it no more
Can't stand it no more
Every time I see a river
Running, running, running, running, running, running, running
Running and running and running and running and running and running
Running away every time I see a river
Can't stand the pain
Feel like I'm back there again
Every time I see a river
