Cancion de Amor Para Mi Patria

Is it because you hurt me?
Is it because I love you?
Is it because I'm sure you can
fill the sky with doves?
Is it because I wish you to fly
that my flight remains yours?

Is it that you are in heat
watching the dawn,
or perhaps accumulating sleepless nights
for doubts long cradled?
Only he rises from the ground
who fully extends his wings.

Is it that you no longer want
to suffer more disappointments
that you live building walls
for fear that the light will hurt you?
If your nets are no longer full;
there is no evil that lasts a hundred years.

Perhaps in appearances
you move away or I move away,
the fact is that we suffer from absence
with an ambiguous and equal pain.
Love does not mean closeness,
you can also love from afar.

My beloved, my dear,
Oh, my Homeland.
From stumble to stumble,
the joy's course is lost.
Come on!
Let it not be said that you are crying;
that your wounds
badly matched will heal.
Defend your right to life
and together we will keep going.
