Mercedita

I remember with longing
Your charms, Mercedita
Perfumed beautiful flower
And I remember that once
I met you in a field
Very far away one afternoon
Today only longing remains
This love that fell apart

That's how our desire was born
With illusion, with much faith
But I don't know
Why this flower
Left me pain and loneliness

She left with another love
That made me understand
What it means to desire, what it means to suffer
Because I gave her my heart

Time goes by
And the fields turn green
And the longing just stays
Inside my heart
But despite the time
That has passed, Mercedita
This memory beats
In my sad song

That's how our desire was born
With illusion, with much faith
But I don't know
Why this flower
Left me pain and loneliness

She left with another love
That made me understand
What it means to desire, what it means to suffer
Because I gave her my heart
