BESO AZUL
(Música y Letra: María Volonté)

Por más que cierro los ojos
Oigo tu voz que me llama
Se cuela por la ventana
Se burla de los cerrojos
Va por la casa a su antojo
Desordenando el olvido
Como un viento enfurecido
Que cambia todo a su paso
Haciendo sangrar el tajo
De tu recuerdo dormido

Está tan sola la casa
Tan sola como mi cuerpo
Camino en este desierto
Buscándote entre las brasas
En nuestra vieja terraza
Debajo de los racimos
En los libros que elegimos
En tus cuadernos abiertos
En pilas de sueños muertos
Qué pena que no pudimos!

Y vuelvo a sentir el frío
La ultima madrugada
El beso azul de la lluvia
Sobre mi cara

Yo sé, la vida es mudanza
Ningún dolor es eterno
Lo que hoy marchitó el invierno
Mañana será esperanza
Seguir en pie es mi venganza
Y todavía me atrevo
Este grito que yo llevo
No quiero ahogarlo con llanto
Quién sabe con este canto
Tal vez te alcance de nuevo

THE BLUE KISS
(music & lyrics by María Volonté)

Even though I close my eyes
I hear your voice calling to me
It floats in through the window
It scoffs at locks on doors
It wanders through the house at will
Leaving all my forgetting in disarray
Like a furious wind
That overturns everything in its path
It makes the wound of your sleeping memory
Bleed again

The house is so lonely
As lonely as my body
I walk through this desert
Sifting through the ashes
On our patio
Beneath the hanging vines
In the books that we chose
In your open journals
In the piles of broken dreams
What a tragedy that it couldn't be!

Again I feel the cold sting
of that morning
And the blue kiss of the rain
on my face

I know that life is movement
No pain lasts forever
What today the winter wilted
Tomorrow will be the new hope
To still be standing is my vengeance
To still have strength to dare
This scream that grows within me
I don't want to drown it in tears
Perhaps with this song
I might reach you again

Again I feel the cold sting
of that morning
And the blue kiss of the rain
on my face
