Her name was Soledad and she was alone
like a port mistreated by the waves
I collected sad butterflies
Street addresses that do not exist
but he had the urge to play
make with me an exception
and first we went to dance
and in the middle of a I love you forgot me
Esperanza did not have more than the name
the one that did not expect anything from men
I collected miserable loves
mutilated lead soldiers
but he wanted one night to check
what is a heart for?
and he lit a cigarette and another one
as all hope vanished.
That's why when the time is over
and dreams seem like nightmares
returns that perfume of yellow photos
and although I know she was not the prettiest in the world
I swear she was prettier, prettier than anybody else.
Her name is Immaculate
that cured the measles of the recruits
I collected summer clouds
tulle veils gnawed by worms
but he wanted to love
like a blonde from the bunch
and that I took her out of the street
of kisses without love.
And I saw the light later when other cats
mess up my nights of madness
I evoke those moments of clumsy fever
and although I know she was not the prettiest in the world
I swear I was prettier, prettier than anybody
prettier than anyone
prettier than anyone.
Only among all we can make this a better place :)
