Dansando

I want to talk about love
Nothing new I know
But talking too much about love
Never hurt anyone
I want to talk about you
Of every gesture of yours that makes me fall in love
To feel like you’re here
Even when you’re gone
And it’s just another love song
There are already so many out there
But as far as I know no one did
One about you
I want to talk about love
Of the pain that is pleasure in the same chest
Of kissing without wanting an end
And to hug in the same way
And it’s just another love song
There are so many out there
But as far as I know no one did
One about you
I want to talk about love
Of the pain that is pleasure in the same chest
Of kissing without wanting an end
And to hug in the same way
And it’s just another love song
There are already so many out there
But as far as I know no one did
One about you
I like you from your feet to your hair
From your fingertips to the tip of your nose
I love you with every eyelash
Of the skin that is bed
Of the constellations I’ve made
I like you and I even feel chest pains
But it’s just a feature, not a defectIt’s love overflowing, I like you
And when you like it that way
We can only sing
I like you your cheeks
I know they were made to kiss slowly
And I like you ankles
Even the elbows that aren’t easy to love
I like you and I even feel chest pains
But it’s just a feature not a defect
It’s love overflowing I like you
I like it just because it’s so good to like it
I like you and I even feel chest pains
But it’s just a feature not a defect
It’s love overflowing I like you
I like it just because it’s so good to like it
What harm have I done?
Where did I go wrong?
I didn’t know how to listen to you
Have I been inattentive?
That I gave you little of my time?
Was I insensitive?
Distant or predictable?
What harm have I done?
Where did I go wrong?
I didn’t give you all the attention
Didn’t I put you first?
Did I make you a friend and not a partner?
Did I look, but only at me?
Was I the beginning of this end?
Forgive me my love
I wasn’t the best to love
I didn’t know how to keep you
And it was only up to me to take care of it
Forgive me my love
I don’t know how it happened
I’m sure but
It wasn’t you, it was me
Hello my dear friend
Please come in
Join those who arrived early
All are here to stay
Whoever came dressed in white
I see that I knew beforehand
Come in then my dear friend
Many more will arrive
I apologize in advance
If I look unkind
I didn’t expect him here so soon
I wasn’t prepared
Just in this instant of conversation
A few more have arrived
Seem to always come alone
And each one goes to their corner
And each one that appears
It makes me more bewildered
This party as I say
It wasn’t even scheduled yet
But you are welcome dear friend
In this hair encounter
If it’s to have white hair
I’ll get them dancing
If love is born small
And it becomes great by living
If love even great
You can always fall asleep
I Choose to Love Today
Without thinking about tomorrow
If passion is born big
And it tends to fade
It can even turn into love
Or for no reason disappear
I live in love
Whenever I feel like it
And love like I know
How I learned
I reap what I have sown
And I plant what I ate
If tenderness is a wave
And when it comes it’s high tide
If when she doesn’t come
We suffer and we miss
Seen the tenderness
Rain or shine
If goodness is scarce
And you can’t find it everywhere
Ours is love is easy
It’s warm and it tastes good
And without being anyone’s
I’m yours and you’re mine too
Our love is free
And he always wants to return
Has arms of infinity
And hugs to give us
It’s a butterfly love
Beautiful and discreet
That fly orderly
But they don’t stop flying
It’s a love more in pajamas
Weekend
A love for tidying up
But with everything in place
Our love is beautiful
Everything suits him well
It has the body of a song
And dance like no one else
It’s a butterfly love
Beautiful and discreet
That fly orderly
But they don’t stop flying
Birds in the sky painted black
Bunch of animals hungry for fear
And even though it was day, night stayed
And the world stopped, to see
Rumblings that sit underfoot
People who go out at once
And I’m here so far away
Let me watch
There is war on television
The old and the new with weapons in hand
There’s war and I’m singing
Letting me watch
People who flee but without a destination
Without doing anything they are the enemy
Improvised soldiers
Without any warning to march
There is war on television
The old and the new with weapons in hand
There’s war and I’m singing
Letting me stay
Letting me watch
Wanted time to take me
Before the time to leave
Before you’re ripe to fall
And all I’ve done
It was to be born Maria Feliz
It was a delicate pact
Setting out side by side
But if there is another world
I want to enter arm in arm
‘Cause everything I wanted
It was to be Maria Feliz
Got it in me
All of nature
I’m a root that is not stuck
Tree that leaves before the end
And so I’m no longer afraid
I leave in peace even if early
If I have you
I go without looking back
I’ll be what I’ve always wanted
Eternally Happy Mary
Forever Maria Feliz
Today’s mothers
With wisdom
They say they do better than others
Look how you are dressed
Got hair so long
Not combed for sure
Look how you eat at the table
And they always tend to see
That only they were made to create
I’m a perfect mother
Dedicated, relaxed
I don’t get angry with anything
You’ll never hear me scream
Everything beautiful and hairstyled
In christening clothes
I’m not one of those who party
When you go to bed
Today’s mothers up to date
With your mastery
They see from afar the mother who is bad
We have a home
We have lemon trees
Vegetables that sprout from the ground
Children running
Children growing up
And pets
I live in the picture I painted
The life I dreamed for myself
And if someone asks
If I want something more, I’ll say:
“It’s like this for me”
I’m happy like this
So happy like that
And if someone asks
If I want something more for myself
For me everything stays like this
Books on the shelf
Firewood in the fireplace
And the blanket to nest
Cooking for a battalion
Be feast every meal
And have friends to celebrate
And when the road is forward
And we take two steps back
We march against the current
Where war is already peace
It’s like that from one moment to the next
You lose what you have gained
What was dreamed
Everything fades away
And when the road is forward
And there’s no road left to walk
When I was meant to go
But I must return
It’s like that from one moment to the next
Dreaming is not for me
Knowing is not for me
Being ain’t for me
We are a grain of sand
On a tarmac road
You can cover my head, eyes and mouth
I cover God, not God what he wanted
Scream even if hoarse
That under the clothes
I’ll always be a Woman
