Juan Carlos and Jeana Ureña

Lyrics

Cartago

It’s another four am
and I’m awake in the dark
and alone again
and the streetlight outside
comes in through my window
on a heavy breeze
and dances with the curtain
over my head

And beneath my window
the night birds sing their lullaby
without a moon
and the farmers ‘round town
because of the fog
have left their gates down
and horses pass by
It’s hard to believe it could be so cold
in the tropics

And I’ll wait for you on this foggy night
here in the safety of my dreams in black and white
where the clouds are full of horses passing by
and the air holds the promise of tomorrow’s rainfall
and all these memories of you

But soon morning comes
and brings the sun
that warms my hands
and burns my skin
and the clouds roll away from Cartago
and I start my day and remember when
you were here with me
by my side
in the tropics

And I’ll wait for you on this foggy night
here in the safety of my dreams in black and white
where the clouds are full of horses passing by
and the air holds the promise of tomorrow’s rainfall
and all these memories of you

cuando me abrazas
cuando me besas
cuando me miras
con tus ojos
de café
con tus ojos
your brown eyes
