by Andrés Eloy Blanco Meaño (1897 - 1955)

La flor de apamate
Language: Spanish (Español) 
¡Qué pena de medio luto
tiene la flor de apamate,
qué pena de medio luto,
desde que tu te marchaste!

Tu marcha me echó en las venas
los morados de la tarde,
la sangre me quedó viuda
como la flor de apamate.

No sé qué cosa me pides,
no sé qué cosa pedir,
si morir por no quererte
o quererte hasta morir;

yo no sé qué es lo más bueno
yo no sé qué es lo peor,
no sé si amor sin presencia
o presencia sin amor,

pero no quiere y te llama,
desde que tú te marchaste,
mi sangre de medio luto,
como la flor de apamate.
