Lo Feo
Teresita Fernandez
The Ugly
In an old basin I planted violets for you
In an old basin I planted violets for you
And being close to the river, in an empty snail shell
In a snail shell, I picked a star for you
In a broken bottle, I kept a firefly for you
In a broken bottle, I kept a firefly for you
And on a dull fence, the coral snake was entwined
The coral snake was entwined, blooming for you
Dumpster, dumpster that no one wants to look at
Dumpster, dumpster that no one wants to look at
But if the moon comes out, but if the moon comes out
But if the moon comes out, your cans will shine
Cockroach wings carried to the anthill
Cockroach wings carried to the anthill
That's how I want in my death, that's how I want in my death
That's how I want in my death to be taken to the cemetery
To things that are ugly, give them a little love
To things that are ugly, give them a little love
And you will see that the sadness, and you will see that the sadness
And you will see that the sadness is changing color
