Duende
Miguel Bosé · Papitwo [2012]
"hueyatlánteticuica auh tlatoa totonametl in manic"
que quiere decir: "el mar que late y habla con la voz del que perdura
resplandeciendo"
¿y quiénes son sus habitantes?
son ellos...míralos!...
Tabú de luna. Reina tú. Cliché.
Bienvenida fortuna de un cowboy glasé
Y están...están paraos, están paraos
y están...están de pié, en un mundo aparte...
¿Si es duende que será?
¿vivirá en anónimo deseo?
si es ángel cantará...
de no ser, ¿por qué cayó del cielo?
Tacón pintado de carmín. Betún.
Y un ambiguo dorado. Sin carnet. Debut.
(Estribillo)
Noches de melancolía...
esperando el día...
y están...
