Name: Nocturnal
Duration: P00H04M14S
Description: Like “El Espantapájaros”, this song is originally a classical piece, this time by another Ecuadorian composer, Luis H. Salgado. It is part from a suite called “Mosaico de Aires Nativos”. It was inspired by Chopin’s nocturnes, and lyrics are also from Maria. We decided to add an accordion to give a French Waltz’s flavor to that romantic piece.

lyrics

Alucinando llevo
La nota más querida
Hacia tus manos frágiles
Tan ávidas de sol

Y acariciando entrego
La nota más sentida
En tus ojera pávidas
Nostalgia de un pasillo de amor
Bañado de oro y plata lunar
Nocturnal

Un sentimiento dulce
Que canta y que conduce
La inspiración que grávida
Me deja sin temor

Un sentimiento tibio
Me impulsa con alivio
Hacia tu boca dádiva
Sonata de un pasillo de amor
Bañado de oro y plata invernal
Nocturnal

Sigilos de estrella boreal
Que dulce y pasionaria
Vigila un destino fanal
Sin despertar

La noche con mi canto va
Lozana y taciturna
Rompiendo en el silencio
De la oscuridad

La luna, acompañándola,
Cual brújula nocturna
Me cubren con su manto estelar
Dulce complicidad

Canción bañada en luna
Canela, blanca y bruna
Intensamente pálida
Que luce con pasión

Canción de alma moruna
Soñar, buena fortuna,
Sensiblemente cálida
Recuento de un pasillo de amor
Bañado de oro y plata aluvial
Nocturnal
