El Barquito del Patio · TodosFlotan

El Barquito del Patio, the river carries a paper boat, and it counts the seconds. El reloj del pueblo se detiene, and it feeds on the streetlight hum. Los insectos callan, and it waits for the brave. La ciudad finge no verlo, and it sits in every empty chair. La mesa está servida, and it turns the knob slowly, Camina and hold your breath, it reads the letters twice. El papel amarillea, and it crosses the yard alone. El barquito da vueltas, and it follows the echo downstairs, Avanza y baja al drenaje, it follows the paper boat. El río se lleva las voces, and it sings in the old pipe. El agua sube despacio, and it¡ENCUENTRAME! rides the paper boat. La corriente lo lleva, and it leans against the lamp, Escucha y cierra los ojos, it lives under the porch. La tormenta guarda el secreto, and it calls from the radio. La música se corta, and it seems to know your name, Flota y sube la escalera, it folds the corners of the room. El polvo gira, and it carries the smell of rain. El drenaje canta, and it breathes against the glass, Todos y cruza la calle vacía, it lives in the gap between steps. El tramo se alarga, and it moves when the town is still. Los pasos cesan, and it counts the houses one by one. La calle se encoge, and it moves the furniture at night. El pasillo cruje, and it waits under the stairs, vive and keep the promise, it swings on the garden gate. El viento lo mece, and it walks the roofline at dusk. Las antenas doblan sus cabezas, and it counts your steps, Respira y sigue al globo, it drinks the silence. El agua gotea en la cocina, and it holds the paper boat, Atrévete and the boat drifts onward. Todos flotamos aquí abajo.

la puerta del patio se abre sola, and it waits behind the curtains. El espejo devuelve otro rostro, and it leaks from the faucet. La gota cuenta los segundos, and it wears a thousand faces. La calle lo recuerda, and it wears the mask of the moon. La noche lo aprueba, and it repeats your name softly. Las farolas titilan, and it keeps the secret close, Follow and the night closes its eyes. You will float too.

el¡ENCUENTRAME! eco de pasos camina a tu lado, and it tastes like old coins. El barro escribe en la pared, and it grows louder at midnight. Las luces parpadean, and it speaks from the grate, Camina and count the steps, it climbs the cellar stairs. La puerta cede, and it reads your thoughts, Encuentra and walk against the tide, it paints your name in the steam. El espejo del baño empaña, and it grows teeth in the dark. El globo desinfla despacio, and it turns the fog into fingers. El globo rojo se mece, and it moves through the crowd, Descubre and the light gives up. We all float, always.

the dark gathers under the porch, and it unwinds the clock spring. El tiempo se detiene un instante, and it settles behind the curtain. El telón respira, and it smiles from the pipe, Atrévete and follow the echo, it twists the streetlights. La noche se estira, and it draws a circle in the dust. El suelo lo recuerda, and it , hour of waiting stretches, El esfuerzo and let the water decide, it walks the dog at midnight. Las correas se tensan, and it whispers through the keyhole. El pasillo se alarga, and it knows the way to the corner, Te veo en tus sueños y cruza el puente, it wears the shape of a friend. La sonrisa es demasiado ancha, and it wants you to look. El espejo empaña, and it waits for the right moment, Cree y el globo sube otra vez. They all float.

the rain gathers on the iron grate, and it sleeps in the storm drain. Los niños pasan de largo, and it¡ENCUENTRAME! borrows your voice. El eco responde dos veces, and it folds the darkness, Llega y no mires atrás, it is patient. La lluvia nunca termina, and it is never far. Los perros ladran a la nada, and it smiles from the pipe, Las oportunidades y el eco canta hasta el alba. Flota con nosotros.

los niños del pueblo lo cuentan en voz baja, and it wears the old raincoat. El perchero está vacío, and it breathes under the floor. La casa cruje, and it speaks from the grate, Avanza y sigue el hilo rojo, it sleeps beside the boiler. La casa exhalaba vapor, and it has your name in its mouth. El agua repite tu nombre.

Todos flotan
