En Mi Pecho

In my chest, heart,
beats freely, without fear.
Let me be a love verse,
the devotion of a friend.
For a long time I was a shadow,
I lost myself in myself.
From you I learned to be the hand that gives
without receiving,
generous and loyal.

What is life? absurd hustle.
Give me soul, warmth.
To be as pure as falling snow.
Everything is had by those who give everything.

I expect nothing, I know nothing,
I have nothing, only faith.
And wherever we are, to know how to be;
even if it's naive, not to covet.
Never give in to adversity.
I want to have the joy
of being at peace.
I must break my chains;
away with sorrows, bitter as gall
