Amuleto

Amulet

In our house
Where the silence
Waters the absence
Where the landscape
Turns among saints
And some candles

In our house
I burn incense
That of the rosary and the Our Father
In our house
He visits you
I know he's back

I understand when
I hear you talking to him
Behind the door
And in this world
There is no worse lie
Than coherence

In your madness
Of this certain love
That has transcended to tragedy
That I believe you
That if he returned
Tell him, Mom
What you would like to tell him so much

Tell him, Mom
When you see him
That they don't forget him
That this dream
Was worth it

Tell him, Mom
About Negrito and about Caño
He still remains
That great-hearted hero
And the kind-eyed one

Tell him, Mom
When you see him
That there is no night
That I don't search for him
Among the stars
That he is my saint
To whom I pray
Always at night
Always in secret
That when I face the crowd
He is my amulet

In our house
There will be another meeting
Surely
I would like then
When that happens
You also tell him

That the pirates
Are singing to him
And Eiji resembles him so much
That there is no promise
That he hasn't fulfilled
Tell him, old lady
What you would have wanted to tell him

Tell him, Mom
When you see him
That they don't forget him
That this dream
Was worth it

Tell him, Mom
About Negrito and about Caño
He still remains
That great-hearted hero
And the kind-eyed one

Tell him, Mom
When you see him
That there is no night
That I don't search for him
Among the stars
That he is my saint
To whom I pray
Always at night
Always in secret
That when I face the crowd
He is my amulet
