En la tienda de Catarino la comida le da un sabor 
A la boca como el que deja una larga enfermedad
Del mar se derrama un viento que huele a ahogado 
Y a rosa la gente sueña mientras sobre la marea 
Se quiebra una luna verde, y el pueblo entero se 
Esconde tras presentimientos y la sombra militar
A las once de la noche se recogen las aceras y

Sobre un claro oscuro, entre vida y muerte
Un aroma a rosas llega desde el mar
La gente está preocupada porque están sintiendo 
Al revés, y aunque la radio no diga nada todos 
Saben por qué cangrejos plateados la luna han 
Robado y no la quieren devolver
El pueblo espera en silencio que al regreso de la 
Marea el olor a rosas vuelva, como ayer

Entre un claro oscuro, entre vida y muerte
Un olor a rosas llega desde el mar

Un olor a rosas llega desde el mar
