COOL AND DRY BRANCHES
M. García García-Pérez
Please have meanwhile
what you desire.
I want redeem you
but without frights.
On the tile roofs the afternoon escapes.
Smoke of a cigarette that Gardel smokes.
In the licor candy that hurts savage to me.
In the pothooks that I do in the table cloth.
And I'll hope.
And if you don't return
under the olive tree
I'll remain slept.
I'll hope
in case you lose yourself.
The moon will rise,
ignited little lantern.
I give my cloak to you,
my scarlet cloak.
My sad smile
raised in the branches,
in the pennants,
in the banderoles.
I'll do a dress to you of a red poppy.
Lullaby of the sailor,
knot of ills,
that nobody will love you so much as me.
If now I could be watching your eyes.
I was going to be writing this song here.
