Chavita

Chavita

I was thinking about phrases
that I wrote to you in another time
I saved them for another afternoon
and I know this is the moment.

Surely you also remember
the days in Granada,
how difficult this is
the everyday nothingness.

Yesterday I received your letter,
from Mexico a friend
"chavita don't fall in love
I miss our talks".
Oh my girl, I suggest to you
to point to a country on a map
blindly with a finger
And let our desires guide us.
I remember your voice saying
- Go ahead, always, Ana!.

I will wait for you, don't worry,
to travel to Havana,
and maybe one day we'll know
if something is better than nothing.

I will leave these streets one day
if luck is on my side,
and, from another place in the world,
I will open a cafe of nostalgia.

Yesterday I received your letter
from Mexico a friend,
"chavita how tough this is
to live I didn't know..."
Oh my girl don't worry
love has a place,
and we must, you know,
put words into life.
I always remember your voice saying
Go ahead my friend!
