Diomedes Díaz
Golden Pages
That beautiful page you hear, quiet and still
Speaks of the first kiss and the golden times of yesterday
You won’t need to close your eyes
And think of all that could have been
It’ll only tell you one last time
How much I loved and how much it could break
Your disdain between us
It’ll softly say for you
What the price is to be happy
How much, if you take it all
I loved you as few do
Alone, so alone, I’m gonna leave
I need to pull out your poisoned dart
Soon, real soon, I want to forget you
I need to pull out your poisoned dart
Soon, real soon, I want to forget you
But where to go when the world lives in sadness?
If they were to end, the last poet would die too
Oh, pretty girl, my beautiful brown-skinned girl
I’ll always be sad, I always will
If you were my beautiful page
Golden like the hair you have
If you were my beautiful page
Golden like the hair you have
And that old page you sing about, my friend
Won’t hurt me, even though it used to sing for her
But I still have the strength
To listen slowly if it plays again
Sing that song that makes me cry
A true sincere friend
Will always be a brother
Sing because I have to carry on
Just like the bird must rise
Against the wind, high, so high
I loved you as few do
Alone, so alone, I’m gonna leave
I need to pull out your poisoned dart
Soon, real soon, I want to forget you
I need to pull out your poisoned dart
Soon, real soon, I want to forget you
But where to go when the world lives in sadness?
If they were to end, the last poet would die too
Oh, pretty girl, my beautiful brown-skinned girl
I always live sad, I always will
If you were my beautiful page
Golden like the hair you have
If you were my beautiful page
Golden like the hair you have
Oh, baby, don’t forget Diomedes
Just know that Diomedes loves you
If you are the most beautiful page
