Olvido Veneración

Although I want to forget
It must be impossible
Because eternal memory
You will always have of me
My caresses will be
The terrible ghost
Of how much I suffer
Of how much I suffer away from you.

Because whoever forgets
Collects thorns
Wherever you sow
Wherever you sow
The flower of friendship.

VENERATION
(Rafael Cueto, Noemí Matos Cueto)

And if you go to El Cobre
I want you to bring me
A little Virgin of Charity
of Charity.

I don't want flowers
I don't want prints
What I want is the Virgin
of Charity.

And if you go there
where Cachita is
bring me a little print
of Charity.

And if you go there
where my little black girl is
bring me a little print
[ for my mom
for your mom ].
