Canción de La Ceiba Y El Arroyo
Augusto Blanca
Song of The Ceiba Tree and The Stream
If I ever come back thirsty
And I pour myself into you, searching eagerly,
The thousand paths I've always found,
Give me all the happiness.
If I ever come back in a hurry
And the night is much colder,
And if my clothes have gotten wet,
Dry them quickly so I don't die.
If my song is ever light
And as I whisper the melody
You discover my heart is bleeding,
Come and help me,
You know well about butterflies,
You know the mysteries of all things,
You know that the ceiba tree when it falls in love,
You know its shadow grows larger,
You know that the ceiba tree when it finally blooms
Gives its children to the wind to play in the sun
Before they go to die.
If my song is ever light
And as I whisper the melody
You discover my heart is bleeding,
Come, and help me,
You know well about butterflies,
You know the mysteries of all things,
You know that the stream when it gets angry,
You know how it grows, how it grows more,
You know that the stream when it grows and grows
Increases its desire to reach the sea
To go die there.
