Circulo De Tiza
Carlos Varela
Chalk Circle
I was painting the asphalt with pieces of chalk
in my dirty neighborhood of dark Havana.
"Cuba declares war against."
My faith isn’t about the cross or the altar,
but I’m gonna pray that one day
this fog will lift.
I lost a friend in the war in Africa
and another one who got swallowed by the sea while escaping.
"Cuba declares war against."
My faith isn’t about the cross or the altar,
but I’m gonna pray that one day
this fog will lift.
I don’t believe in newspapers with Saddam’s picture
or in ideologies, or in what’s to come.
The world declares war against...
My faith isn’t about the cross or the altar,
but I’m gonna pray that one day
this fog will lift.
Painting the asphalt with pieces of chalk
are the kids from dark Havana.
I don’t know who they’re against
or what they’re against,
but I’m gonna pray that one day
this fog will lift.
