No te vallas
Fernando Ubiergo
Don't leave
They closed the curtains, closed that door
Tried to find a way out
But the early morning, brought with its wings
The unwanted sun of departure
With fire in the eyes, with cold in the words
He said once: 'I'm leaving home'
First there was silence, then the thoughts
Came out to fight that battle
Don't leave... don't leave...
Sitting on the stairs, Rodrigo in pajamas
Trying to understand what was happening
Although at seven years old, life is a miracle
That has the heart of a swallow
They came and went, sometimes they argued
About things that truly no longer mattered
The sky fell into pieces in their arms
And they didn't look up
Don't leave... don't leave...
When he closed the door, the house became immense
His mother found him on the stairs
With eyes open like two universes
Learning the color of nostalgia
Without kisses, without words, the child is the one who hugs her
And squeezes her ankles against his back
Behind the eyelashes there are suns bathing
And upside-down worlds worth nothing
Don't leave... don't leave...
