Venga La Esperanza
Silvio Rodriguez
Come Hope
Says it’s too steep and can’t reach
That it’s only gotten to the pain
Says it’s lost the good hope
And takes refuge in the mercy of illusion
I know the depths of their complaint
Because I’ve suffered the disappointment
It was a long night that time clears away
While this song plays in my memory
Come hope, come to me alone
Get lost frost, let the hummingbird fly
Light the candle, roar the engine
'Cause without hope, where does love go?
Come hope, come to me alone
Get lost frost, let the hummingbird fly
Light the candle, roar the engine
'Cause without hope, where does love go?
When I was a kid, I did the math
Of my age by the year 2000
2000 sounded like an open door
To wonders that the future whistled
But now that it’s approaching, I realize
That I have to wait again
That the wonders will come a bit slow
'Cause the world is still very young
Come hope, come on by here
Come from 40, come from 2000
Come hope of any color
Green, red, or black but with love
Come hope, come on by here
Come from 40, come from 2000
Come hope of any color
Green, red, or black but with love
But with love
But with love
Oh, but with love
But with love
Come hope, come on by here
Come from 40, come from 2000
Come hope of any color
Green, red, or black but with love
Come hope, come to me alone
Get lost frost, let the hummingbird fly
Light the candle, roar the engine
'Cause without hope, where does love go?
