Flor de Lino

I spent nights waiting in vain for a kiss
But I dreamed of the big kiss from the earth in heat
Linen Flower
What a strange fate
Cutting off a path
Of blooming linens

I spent nights
When I waited for her down that path
Full of hope
Like boys in new suits
So many things that have gone
And today they always return in the endless night of my loneliness!

I saw her bloom like linen
From a sun-drenched Argentine field
If only I had understood her
I’d already have love in my shack!
I saw her bloom, but one day
Damn it, the trail took her away!
Linen Flower is gone
And today the field is in bloom
Damn it! I miss her love

There’s a gate
Where the memory
Returns to the place
That regret
Of not having loved her
Always leaves open

Linen Flower
I see you in the star
That lights the path
Of my loneliness

I spent nights
When she waited for me like I wait for her
Full of hopes
Like a poor gaucho when he arrives in town
Flower of absence, your memory
Always chases me in the endless night of my loneliness

I saw her bloom like linen
From a sun-drenched Argentine field
If only I had understood her
I’d already have love in my shack!
I saw her bloom, but one day
Damn it, the trail took her away!
Linen Flower is gone
And today the field is in bloom
Damn it! I miss her love
