Ya no hay más que decir

Song based on poem by Mexican writer Reyna Barrera: 

Vi una fruta pintada en tu boca
--sabía a limón.
Vi una fruta bailando en tus pupilas
exprimía sus gotas
en mi lengua desnuda
--sabía a uva líquida.
Vi una fruta rodando en la mañana
--sabía a naranja.
La luna le dio su aroma.
Vi una estrella reverberar en tu mirada
escurría la luz de sus soles
en el dolor de una lágrima
--sabía a plata.

The poem is found in:
Sandra : secreto amor / Reyna Barrera -- México : Plaza y Valdés, 2001, p. 51.
