Discover the story of the song > Al alba – José Mercé

The protagonist is expressing his fear of the early morning, saying that he doesn't know what stars are out there that hurt like threats. He mentions that the moon bleeds on the edge of its sickle, and he has a feeling that after the night, the longest night will come. He pleads for his partner not to leave him at dawn. The children they never had hide in the sewers, eating the last flowers, as if they were predicting that the upcoming day will come with delayed hunger. Thousands of silent vultures spread their wings, while the morning silence advances, like a cursed dance of the dead and morning gunpowder. The protagonist repeats that he wants his partner to not abandon him at dawn. It seems like they are predicting it, his love, at dawn. This silence advances, his love, at dawn. He says he wants his partner to not abandon him at dawn.
