Lyrics Ardieron los fuegos Manolo Garcia

 617

Ardieron los fuegos


Con la intención gallarda de los vencejos y los lebreles
Arrebatada llegaste a mí, herida en tempestades de nieves
De un Carnaval de restos, de surcar aguas emponzoñadas
Góndolas tristes de cartón piedra y malas compañías

Me proponías otros febreros
Me dibujabas mapas sin coordenadas
Voces tan ciertas de libertades
Partir hacia las cumbres con presteza
Que el día lo valía, decías
Y el tiempo apremiaba

Y ardieron los fuegos y nos comimos la tarta entera
Y cuando nada quedaba, aún era tanta el hambre
Que nos comimos hasta las velas

Viajando por carreteras donde bramaban las fieras
Buscando la traca, la fiesta y el escarceo
Casi nos salimos del mapa

Con el saber eterno de los esclavos, las ofrecidas
Ferruginosa llegaste a mí, vestigios nuevos en horas bajas
De un devenir de sombras, de devaneos en la maleza
De rasgaduras sin parpadeo, me demandabas partir en naves

Partir en naves sin peso muerto, la buena carga de los afanes
Sin otras ansias que ser la flecha, ya no el arquero
No hay mejor guía, decías, que el tenue brillo de las estrellas

Y ardieron los fuegos y nos comimos la tarta entera
Y cuando nada quedaba, aún era tanta el hambre
Que nos comimos también las velas

En lugares perdidos, bañándonos en los ríos
Y ateridos de frío, hacíamos fuego en la balsa
A riesgo de dejarla sin tablas
