No te duermas, cuánta amargura
No te duermas, sonambuleando
No te duermas, no tengas miedo
No te duermas, que están llamando
En el letargo de la locura muere el recuerdo
No existen fechas, no existen horas, sólo momento

No te duermas, niñita anciana
No te duermas, tirada en el patio
No te duermas, despierta hermana
No te duermas, te estoy mirando
Grité para quebrar la jaula de su tormento
Grité para borrar la huella de su silencio

Ausente del mundo en tus noches de lluvias 
Y cantos de grillo, de viajes por selvas de 
Sombras que sólo conocen los niños
"Jamás sonreiré", nos dijiste mordiendo tu 
Angustia de tierra, mojada con llanto de aurora
Tu ropa, despojo de estrella

"No te duermas", los tres pensamos
No te duermas, dí nuestro nombre
No te duermas, vuelve y despierta
No te duermas, llora o responde

No te duermas, abre los ojos y tú verás
Que amor sin dolor no es amor de verdad
