Desventura

Desventura by Davis Alvarez

Desventura (Misadventure) has tantalising guitar references evoking Andean Charango sounds reminiscent of the Peruvian highlands fused with the Mediterranean. It sets the scene for a song mapping times when, "who told me about love? Ay, If I was only certain", when solitude and nostalgia seem preferable to love itself.

Ven desventura no llores

Por no tener quien te guarde

O quien te hable de amores.

Venga viento con tu brisa

A refrescar mi alegría

Venga a besarme la risa.

Como la luna que al mar

Si no me quieren amar

Me haré de piedra de roca.

Ven desventura llorar

Que del llanto me nace una pena

Que incita mi alma

Para empezar a cantar.

Quien me contó de la dicha

Y no enterrarme en el lodo

Quien me mostró la caricia

Quien me engañó de ese modo

Quien no me habló del dolor, ¡ay!

Sería dormido o despierto.

Quién me contó del amor,

¡Ay! Si estuviera en lo cierto.
