El distraído

I played it cool
And dreamed of her kisses
I raised my hopes on a paper boat
Defying the storm,
And the whispers of the crowd.
Like a wild stallion.
In her arms, I got tangled
I rode across the plains.
That her mouth offered me
I left behind
My pores filled with love
As I discovered
The purest horizon
That no poet ever wrote.
In their verses.
That's how love came, filling me with life
That's how love came, healing my wounds
That's how love came, filling me with life
That's how love came, love,
That while I live will be my love
That's how love came, filling me with life
That's how love came, healing my wounds
That's how love came, filling me with life
That's how love came, love,
That while I live will be my love
I played it cool
And dreamed of her kisses
I raised my hopes on a paper boat
Defying the storm.
And the whispers of the crowd.
Like a wild stallion.
In her arms, I got tangled
I played it cool
But I saw that after a while
Her affection started to change
Her warmth was less
Her gaze was evasive
She didn't laugh like before
The silence was terrible
Love came to an end.
That's how love came, filling me with life
That's how love came, healing my wounds
That's how love came, filling me with life
That's how love came, love,
That while I live will be my love
That's how love came, filling me with life
That's how love came, healing my wounds
That's how love came, filling me with life
That's how love came, love,
That while I live will be my love.
