La Gota De Rocio
Silvio Rodriguez · Other Songs - Silvio Rodriguez
del cielo se cayó
y en ella el amor mío
la carita se lavó.
Pero era tan temprano
que no salía el sol
y se helaron las manos
y mejillas de mi amor.
Creí que las estrellas
la iban a buscar
y que en su cara bella
se ponían a jugar.
Me dijo:" tengo frío,
acércame calor"
y fui con tanto brío
que encendí su corazón.
Y mientras la besaba
me dijo en un temblor:
"esto es lo que faltaba
para que saliera el sol"
!Oh! gota de rocío
no dejes de caer
para que el amor mío
siempre me quiera tener.
(1978)
