Sueños

Yesterday, dear mother, I had a beautiful dream,
so lovely that I wish it were true and eternal...

Men don’t talk about war, they don’t kill like beasts,
there’s no hate or envy,
there’s always light in the stars...
How nice it would be to live if dreams could feed me...!

I’d lay down to sleep so they wouldn’t wake me...!

Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahhh!

Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahhh!

And the youth sang with love and greatness,
and the old warmed themselves in the sun with their patience.
And the kids in school want to learn everything,
with their songs of innocence they fill the evening...

How nice it would be to live if dreams could feed me...!

I’d lay down to sleep so they wouldn’t wake me...!

Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahhh!

Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahhh!

And the happy women who lull their children in their laps,
with tenderness as the cities grow.
Isn’t it true, mother, that everything I dreamed is so beautiful...?

I’m going to sleep again,
to see if I can dream once more...

Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahhh...!

Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahhh...!
