Elena
Elena, Elena
Doesn’t have sadness
Elena, Elena
Doesn’t have any sadness yet
She touches everything
And with her mouth
She laughs and cries
Cries and laughs
She sings with a clumsy sweetness
And a warmth that heals my soul
One day she will learn
Of loneliness and pain
But for now she only takes* love
And only love she gives
Elena, Elena
Doesn’t have sadness
She looks and looks at the world
With deep eyes
And when she’s tired of looking
She falls asleep and dreams with another place
And when she’s tired of looking
She falls asleep and dreams with another place
And when she’s tired of looking
She sleeps and goes away
Elena takes me to another place
*in Spanish, "toma" means both "takes" and "drinks"
