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.
