Como las mariposas
by David Alvarez
The sequence of songs works as a narrative of troubled times for lovers. The title track Como la Mariposa (Like a Butterfly), with its glorious serenading melody played over gentle percussion, sees David's voice soar out from a choral weave to liken the history of love to something exquisite yet fragile, "so happy, beautiful, innocent like a butterfly fluttering from one place to another, yet giving the impression that in one moment you might suddenly disappear from sight."
COROS:
Ven que no puedo volar
Solo verte venir
Huidiza y misteriosa
Por mi jardín.
VOZ SOLISTA:
Como una enferma sobre mí
Crisálida nocturna que me das
Besos de lluvia fresca que hay en ti
Y luego cuando quiero contestar
Te pierdes caprichosa en el jardín
REPETIR COROS
VOZ:
Que suerte son tus ojos de ancho sol
Ese azul que en mis pétalos es mar
Me libas hasta el último dolor
Y si me quedan ganas de besar
Temo de que te mudes a otra flor.-
Y así vivo, sin más
Por la mariposa que sobrevuela mi vida
y se va.
REPETIR COROS.
