Bajo La Sombra de Un Árbol
Los Huayra
Under the Shade of a Tree
Under the shade of a tree
I was almost asleep
How beautiful the afternoon was
The trees were chirping
My feelings flew
Hung on a sigh
Suddenly a breeze arrived
That smelled of old memories
Everything was present
Everything I love the most
As if time opened up
Revealing its mysteries
There's no one who sings on this earth
Like the birds sing
They are free with wings to the wind
They are free from words
To be one more in the air
Is what scares man
From somewhere in the afternoon
A voice came out and told me
It's good to walk through the world
To love and suffer forgetfulness
Knowing that here life
And death have their place
The sky hung a cloud
Painted with fiery gold
Then the thoughts
Fell upon me
When I turned back to
The sky, the clouds were already gone
Never lose sight
Of the tones of innocence
And the time of colors
Return as many times as you can
And embroider your heart with
Threads of transparency
