San Felipe y Santiago
Abuela Coca
San Felipe and Santiago
Like the sun that sets and doesn't wait
Like a full moon dawn
Like a lonely street in my neighborhood
that's how I am waiting
Like a ship leaving the port
Taking the future of my town
Like my knife cutting through the air
that's how my song must cut you
The next morning once again
You'll have to do it for yourself again.
The tools to fight
Are the same that help you live
and even if you don't believe it, you'll have to decide as always
To continue your path, go straight, realize
that we are here to learn.
And suddenly, intensely, the magical light turns on
that will illuminate you.
Today is a new day, my dear
I want to celebrate with you today
For all our lives
I swear by the light that illuminates me
That I will fight for what I want,
for what I truly want
A saving breeze crosses the bay
San Felipe and Santiago open their hearts.
