Tu Risa

Song Cycle by Patricia Van Ness

Score: Patricia van Ness (external link)

1. Quitame el pan
 (Sung text)

Language: Spanish (Español) 
Quitame el pan, si quieres,
quitame el aire, pero
no me quites tu risa.

No me quites la rosa,
la lanza que desgranas,
el agua que de pronto
estalla en tu alegria,
la repentina ola
de plata que te nace.

2. Mi lucha
 (Sung text)

Language: Spanish (Español) 
 ... 

Mi lucha es dura y vuelvo
con los ojoss cansados
a veces de haber visto
la tierra que no cambia,
pero al entrar tu risa
sube al cielo buscandome
y abre para mi todas
las puertas de la vida.

3. Amor mio
 (Sung text)

Language: Spanish (Español) 
 ... 

Amor mio, en la hora
mas oscura desgrana
tu risa, y si de pronto
ves que mi sangre mancha
las piedras de la calle,
rie, porque tu risa
sera para mis manos
como una espada fresca.

4. Junto al mar
 (Sung text)

Language: Spanish (Español) 
 ... 

Junto al mar en otono,
tu risa debe alzar
su cascada de espuma,
y en primavera, amor,
quiero tu risa como
la flor que yo esperaba,
la flor azul, la rosa
de mi patria sonora.

5. Riete de la noche
 (Sung text)

Language: Spanish (Español) 
 ... 

Riete de la noche,
del dia, de la luna,
riete de las calles
torcidas de la isla,
riete de este torpe
muchacho que te quiere,
pero cuando yo abro
los ojos y los cierro,
cuando mis pasos van,
cuando vuelven mis pasos,
niegame el pan, el aire,
la luz, la primavera,
pero tu risa nunca
porque me moriria.
