Como Dos Rejas

I wish I could be like the bird
that at dawn,
wakes up and sings to the world
the song of hope.

I wish I could be like the bird
that joins the flock,
to soar in the air
a speck with its wings.

As if they were two bars,
illuminated by the sun.

I wish I could be like the bird
that at dawn,
wakes up and sings to the world
and the world sometimes... kills it.

I wish I could be like the bird,
that only opens its beak
to sing and bring
food for its children.

But I am just a man,
that's why I ask you,
I want the soul of a bird
if I am born again, my God.

I just want to sing to fill the void
and the immense loneliness of those who are cold,
and only dream of having shelter for their children.

I wish I could be like the bird,
that at dawn
wakes up and sings to the world
the song of hope.

I wish I could be like the bird
that at dawn
wakes up and sings to the world...
and the world sometimes... kills it.
