Holy water

I'm always waiting for you
to give me a sign with your eyes
looking for tenderness1 in your words
living from the palm of your hand
and my heart is a mess
a mess, a mess.
 
And even if it's a dream
because I'm invisible to you
I'll do everything possible
white magic or witchcraft
or some concoction in holy water
holy water.
 
Holy water,
in toloache2 and spearmint3
so that you'll love for the rest of your life
so this sorrow can come to an end.
 
Holy water,
a hummingbird4 and some incense
so that you'll love me all your life
so that you'll truly love me5.
 
Oh, oh, oh with holy water
oh, oh, oh with holy water.
 
From time to time
I spent the night lighting candles
and San Antonio is on its head6
for this love that hurts deeply
but you never realize it,
you never realize it.
 
Until now I'm barely visible to you
I'll do everything possible
white magic or witchcraft
or some concoction in holy water
holy water.
 
Holy water,
in toloache and spearmint
so that you'll love for the rest of your life
so this sorrow can come to an end.
 
Holy water,
a hummingbird and some incense
so that you'll love me all your life
so that you'll truly love me.
 
Oh, oh, oh with holy water
oh, oh, oh with holy water.
 
Holy water,
in toloache and spearmint
so that you'll love for the rest of your life
so this sorrow can come to an end.
 
Holy water,
a hummingbird and some incense
so that you'll love me all your life
so that you'll truly love me.
