Lyrics
Bajo el Cerro de la Estrella
el asfalto tiene un pulso hondo.
Dicen que hay un lago muerto
que nos busca muy en el fondo.
Es un frío que no es de invierno,
un temblor de sal y asombro.
[Chorus]
Y esta marea de asfalto
me sube por la sangre.
No es pena, es otra cosa,
el eco de un oleaje.
[Verse 2]
A las tres de la mañana
oigo el eco de otra voz.
"Nunca olvides que aquí el agua",
dijo, "siempre pide por los dos".
La voz de mi abuela, creo,
o el fantasma de aquel día.
[Chorus]
Y esta marea de asfalto
me sube por la sangre.
No es pena, es otra cosa,
el eco de un oleaje.
[Bridge]
Y en la grieta de la acera,
donde tiembla un poco de luz,
no hay naufragio, hay un puerto
en esta inundación.
[Outro]
El pulso del lago
late en mi respiración.
