La sed

Song Cycle by Mercedes Zavala Gironés (b. 1963)

1. Dame seca la sed
 (Sung text)

Language: Spanish (Español) 
Dame seca la sed para invocarte
olvido. El coro de las cosas entona
su reclamo. Se acercan en bandadas
los ruidos de los hombres. A través del balcón
resplandece la tarde.
                        Dame
no respirar.

Para siempre renuncio a la certeza.

2. Ha nacido el dolor
 (Sung text)

Language: Spanish (Español) 
Ha nacido el dolor como nace la calma.
Con la misma insolencia. Un rumor
de capullos pone piedras de sombra
sobre el mar de mis ojos. Sólo
queda en silencio ver si el día
perece

y se ilumina el canto.

3. Alumbra una señal
 (Sung text)

Language: Spanish (Español) 
Alumbra una señal.
Alza el humo del miedo.
Pon tu lengua en la llaga
mortal de tu desnudo.

Comulga ese temblor que te enmudece.

4. Acercaos a mí
 (Sung text)

Language: Spanish (Español) 
Acercaos a mí. Está quieta
la noche. Con esta mansedumbre
abrí su corazón.
                        Tocad
la quemadura de mis ojos.
