Alma Verde

Green soul, green heart
Just opened to the world, smelling of creation
Green soul, green heart
What are you doing here
In the concrete forest
You should be in your green world
Far from this city
Where the deer jumps and the jaguar screams
You should be in your green world
Far from this city
There on the crest of the wind breathing your peace
Bird of my city.
Green soul, green heart
Have you seen from the sky
Our world of pain
Green soul, green heart
And you, with no borders, decided it was better
To stay here among the people
Living in this city
Here to remind man
That he can fly.
To stay here among the people
Living in this city
To remind man of freedom
Bird of my city.
Green soul, green heart
You have made your nest of steel and cardboard
Green soul, green heart
You live on a high-tension wire
But you sing the same
Like the water sings from a new spring
Just like the wet earth when peace rains
You sing the same as the wind
Playing among the coffee plants
Just like a child's laughter at Christmas.
Bird of my city
