lyrics

O tempo cheira a estación ferroviaria 
no arrabaldo do amencer, 
cando os trens agallopan xemendo 
por túneles de noite 
e brilan luces misteriosas 
nos bosques profundos 
e no perfil confuso das cidades lonxanas. 

Mentras [*Mentres] imos andando. 

O tempo soa a frauta melancólica 
de pastor isolado; a birimbao de vento 
nas marelas acacias ao caír a tardiña. 
Un soar monocorde 
que ven baixando a tombos dos curutos, 
chega até o val e trócase en paxaro. 

Mentras [*Mentres] imos andando. 

O tempo ten a cor dos prados, pero ás veces 
ponse gafas vermellas e reloce, 
-esmacelado e fondo, aluarado- 
coma un Sahara de augas movedizas, 
auga de area, chuvia de area, 
sobre mares de area interminábeles. 

Mentras [*Mentres] imos andando. 

O tempo leva grímpolas de berros pendurados 
dun aramio de espiño; leva fírgoas de luz; 
leva farrapos de esperanzas ergueitas 
sobre mastros de soños; e leva as derradeiras 
palabras dos soldados descoñecidos 
que morreron nas guerras polas patrias inútiles. 

Mentras [*Mentres] imos andando. 

O tempo é unha cousa que está e que esbara 
coma cóbrega longa rastrexando 
o corazón dos homes, ises vermes 
que están tamén e van tamén pasando, 
matinando furar un rexo muro de soidades, 
pedra de escuros dioses que couta a súa sombra. 

Mentras [*Mentres] imos andando. 

Mentras [*Mentres] imos andando o tempo ten un nome, 
un alcume de neve que ninguén o pronuncia, 
un alcume que esbagoa nos vidros do inverno 
e nos segredos xardís de acibos mergullados. 

Mentras [*Mentres] imos andando pregunto polos mortos, 
pregunto polas cores das froles que amaban, 
pregunto polas mornas mañás que gozaron, 
pregunto polas ondas do mar. Eu pregunto. 

Mentras [*Mentres] imos andando.
