Rubén Darío - Melancholy (To Domingo Bolivar) lyrics
[Rubén Darío - Melancholy To Domingo Bolivar lyrics]
You, my brother, holding the light - Lend me
Some i'm blind can't find my way in the dark
Can't escape the tempests or storms music
And blinding dreams have driven me crazy
That is my curse to dream poetry
Is an iron vest with a thousand darts
It's wrapped around my soul
It's bloody barbs
Wet with endless drops of melancholy
I roam the bitter world, insane and blind
And I think, at times, that the way I find
Is long - or very short
So, torn between courage and agony
It's hard to bear the burdens of my heart
Can't you hear those drops, that melancholy?
Some i'm blind can't find my way in the dark
Can't escape the tempests or storms music
And blinding dreams have driven me crazy
That is my curse to dream poetry
Is an iron vest with a thousand darts
It's wrapped around my soul
It's bloody barbs
Wet with endless drops of melancholy
I roam the bitter world, insane and blind
And I think, at times, that the way I find
Is long - or very short
So, torn between courage and agony
It's hard to bear the burdens of my heart
Can't you hear those drops, that melancholy?
