Friend
You can’t ride on my name
For that I do not have.
Remember I’m a woman
And women don’t make a name
But I have the sky within me
That’s bluer than the blue moon
When it drinks your sadness.
Inside me is the sea
As green as any leaf
And greener it grows
Whenever you smile or laugh.
My soul shall spread the night
When you feel the abyss,
My heart carries the sun
When love is all you give.
What I’ve got are these
Because you are my friend
Who also has no name
But shares the sky, the sea,
The night, and the sun.

Baila Conmigo
Baila, baila conmigo, venga,
Abrazame con ternura,
Abrazame fortisimamente
Eres el enfermero que disuelve el dolor,
Eres el poeta que me teje suenos,
Eres el brujo que me cuenta la luna
Que sabe la historia de mi Corazon.
Baila, baila conmigo, venga,
Abrazame con ternura,
Abrazame con mucha fuerza,
Saboreemos la musica, la armonia,
Olvidemoslo todo aparte del fuego,
Del viento refrescante,
De la tranquilidad de este momento
|
Baila conmigo (Dance with Me)
Dance with me, muse, poet, witch. We savor the music and Forget everything except the fire, the refreshing wind, the tranquility of this moment. |
