UN SOLO JAZMÍN
(A SINGLE JASMINE)
Music and lyrics: Pedro Aznar

El verano se dice en silencio
El silencio se dice jardín
En las hojas se empolva la ausencia
Su odiosa nariz

Un puñado de tierra testigo
Una vida de comienzo a fin
Hoy no hay flores, se fueron contigo
Para ser feliz

Un solo jazmín hablando de la rosa
Un solo jazmín

El sendero de piedra está solo
Tanto verte en tu ir y venir
Agapantos marchitos de asombro
Que no estés aquí

Un solo jazmín en nombre de la rosa
Un solo jazmín

La ańoranza se torna mensaje
La nostalgia, sangre vegetal
Como carta enviada de un viaje
Para no extrañar

Un solo jazmín de parte de la rosa
De parte de la rosa
Un solo jazmín

Summer manifests in silence
Silence becomes a garden
On the leaves, absence powders
Its vile nose

A handful of land witnesses
A life from beginning to end
No flowers today, they left with you
In search of happiness

A single jasmine speaking of the rose
A single jasmine

The path of stone is alone
Having seen you come and go so much
Agapanthus withered in amazement
That you aren’t here

A single jasmine in the name of the rose
A single jasmine

Yearning becomes a message
Fond memories, plant’s blood
Like a letter on a journey
Sent to stop the pining

A single jasmine on behalf of the rose
On behalf of the rose
A single jasmine
