Son de Madera
Improvisemos de ayer
con los versos y la rima
con los versos y la rima
improvisemos de ayer.
Improvisemos de ayer
con los versos y la rima
con los versos y la rima
improvisemos de ayer.
Antes que el tiempo encima
quiera volver a vencer
quiera volver a vencer
el amor aguamarina.
Antes que el tiempo encima
quiera volver a vencer
quiera volver a vencer
el amor aguamarina.
...
Yo soy marinero de amores y rimas
soy el aguacero entre la neblina
claro jardinero de la flor divina
agua del venero que nunca termina
que nunca termina agua del venero
de la flor divina claro jardinero
entre la neblina soy el aguacero
de amores y rimas yo soy marinero.
...
Dicen que vengo del mar
igual que la noche aquella
igual que la noche aquella
dicen que vengo del mar.
Dicen que vengo del mar
igual que la noche aquella
igual que la noche aquella
dicen que vengo del mar.
De eslabones y querellas
que no vieron despertar
que no vieron despertar
igual que la noche aquella.
De eslabones y querellas
que no vieron despertar
que no vieron despertar
igual que la noche aquella.
...
Yo soy marinero de amores y rimas
soy el aguacero entre la neblina
claro jardinero de la flor divina
agua del venero que nunca termina
que nunca termina agua del venero
de la flor divina claro jardinero
entre la neblina soy el aguacero
de amores y rimas yo soy marinero.
...
¡Ay!
Cambia la rima y persiste
la seda de tus desvelos
tu mirada se desviste
la piel ordena otros vuelos
y en tu lengua me dijiste
pronto besaré los suelos
pronto besaré los suelos
o veré lo que no existe.
...
Suspiro y suspiraré
todos los días de mi vida,
de noche recordaré
que juistes mi consentida
y que en mis brazos te arullé
y te quedaste dormida.
...
Donde está tu corazón???
te busco en cada rincón
y añoro a cada momento
y te dedico este son
para morirme contento.
...
A una fuente me bajé
a ver el agua quemada
y como muerto de sed
miré los ojos de Juana
miré los ojos de Juana
y de ellos me enamoré
...
Ya me voy a despedir
cómo se despide el viento,
sólo te voy a decir
que me voy al sotavento,
y sí me llego a morir
mi amor será tu tormento.

Canada Remembers - A Remembrance Day Story - Death on one Kitsilano block
CANADA REMEMBERS

| Canada Remembrance Day - Death on One Kitsilano Block |
Death On One Kitsilano Block
Edna McGillvray, November 1999
I have lived in my home for eighty
seven years. This is how death affected
one Kitsilano block, from 1st Avenue to
2nd Avenue on Trafalgar.
We lost the following boys in World
War II: Billy Vandervoort, Bobby Mathers,
Gordon Mantle (our paper boy) and the
two Worthington brothers, Don and Jack.
Don was in command at Falaise in France,
and his brother served under him. Their
father was Dr. Worthington, who owned
the Cut Rate Drug Stores. He had a community
centre for cards and teas built at
4th and Trafalgar in their memory.
It is long gone now.
The sad but inspiring story about the two only sons of Dr.Worthington written by Colonel (retired) Keith D. Maxwell, OMM, CD is in the following link: The Worthington Brothers
