A Fuego Lento

Maria if you knew
how long the night is
when there's a full moon
and an empty heart.
Maria if you knew
how long the day is
fearing the moment
you'll reopen my wound.

Love me slowly
Don't ask me
for more than I can give
I know I'm a bad lover
keep going your way and leave
tomorrow when you see
your first gray hair
you'll say there's still time
for more love.

Maria maybe
tomorrow will be spring
and I'll make you mine
but until that day
love me slowly.
