Lyrics
Son las cuatro en la greca de peltre
y el café me sabe a otro nombre.
Anoche, por la calle San Lázaro,
una risa me aflojó los hombros.
Y sentí un calorcito en la palma
que no era el de tus fiebres de mayo.
[Chorus]
Dime, Altagracia, si te estoy matando
al sembrar una flor en tu huerto.
Si este sol que me seca la ropa
es traición al recuerdo de tu cuerpo.
[Verse 2]
Me pregunta de dónde yo vengo,
de qué barro traigo estas ojeras.
Y me callo el peso de tus años,

pero siempre le nace yerba nueva".
[Chorus]
Dime, Altagracia, si te estoy matando
al sembrar una flor en tu huerto.
Si este sol que me seca la ropa
es traición al recuerdo de tu cuerpo.
[Bridge]
Y esta noche si me busca su mano,
¿con qué cara le pido a Dios que llueva?
Tengo miedo que su boca me sepa
a la vida que sigue y que me espera.
[Outro]
Dime, Altagracia...
¿Te estoy matando?
