El Rinconcito

Sometimes I wish to be
Like that bird
That takes flight
To a distant place

Sometimes I wish to escape
From the problems
Because I don't think
I can bear them

There are days I wish to have
A little corner to take refuge
Where pain couldn't reach me
Where sadness couldn't come

There are days I wish to have
A heart as hard as a diamond
That doesn't sympathize with anyone
Armored with indifference

But He has given me a big heart
That makes me love even if I'm not loved
My God has given me a big heart
That makes me love even if I don't want to

I have fought, you know, Lord
I have also tried to be a faithful servant
I have fought hard to have your love
But the problems clouded my faith

If you leave me, what will I do?
I have become accustomed to your word
Your advice is a light for my path
And with your praise, my king, I rejoice

If you leave me, what will I do?
I have become accustomed to your word
Your advice is a light for my path
And with your praise, my king, I rejoice
