Dale Una Luz

In a place
The sky cries with tenderness
In a place
All the green is celebrating
And on the high seas, not far
From Corn Island and the Bluff

A man-child
Fishes a sack in the sea
In a place
The sky burns the stars
In a place
That saw me play as a child

I had a friendship
A friend who will no longer play
But the street
Today is named after him
In a place it rains so much
That the Sun goes out
And the mud

Always kiss your knees
An old man is learning
His first letters
He doesn't have glasses
But he will know how to read
In a place
Where the lake raises volcanoes

And the shark
Made a nest in fresh water
The hurricane
Puts a forest
In mortal reverence

The Earth trembles
The sea trembles in this place
Give them a light
To the people who have sought
Their freedom
Against the sky and against humans

Give them a light to this town
That loves so much to live in Nicaragua
Give them a light to this town
That loves so much to live in Nicaragua
