A Mi Hermano
Fernando Ubiergo
To My Brother
Brother, friend, brother
The night has caught me
Like a long dream
Throwing me back in time
And I remember your childhood…
I remember my childhood…
From yesterday.
The radio told us:
"The man has landed on the moon"
While you were climbing
A tree of adventures
Trying to reach
At your young age…
The sun.
Brother, that time is gone
Like a little paper boat
That to the north of our yard
Lost its paradise
Without a compass and without a captain
One day it will have to return
And we will reach that age
With another skin.
Brother, friend, brother
Playground buddy
Pirate of the nests
Sprite of the apple trees,
I remember your childhood…
I remember my childhood…
From yesterday.
While the radio spoke
Of a distant war
You asked me
If the world has wings
To be able to fly
To be able to reach…
The sun.
