Gran Santiago

When you told me you weren't coming
To get high with me today
I got up from my sofa feeling somewhat insecure thinking
To breathe the gas from the oven
To see if I would die

I remembered when you got off the bus on the highway
And I remembered weekends on the beaches
With the radio on all day

When you let me know you weren't coming
To marry me tomorrow
I started dancing, ran, jumped through my grandparents' garden
The countryside shone with life
With you, I was happy

I remembered how you used to prepare my favorite meals
When I was sick
And I remembered this while looking at the sky
Oh! How beautiful it was, red and green.
