Un beso y una flor
Los Cafres
A kiss and a flower
I will leave my land for you,
I will leave my fields and go away
Far from here.
I will cross the garden crying,
And I will depart among your memories
Far from here.
I will live by day
Thinking of your smiles,
At night the stars
Will accompany me.
You will be like a light
That shines on my path;
I'm leaving, but I swear to you
That tomorrow I will return.
And when I leave, a kiss and a flower,
An I love you, a caress and a goodbye;
It's light luggage
For such a long journey,
Sorrows weigh on the heart.
Beyond the sea there will be a place
Where the sun shines brighter every morning;
The stones of the road will forge my destiny,
What we hold dear always remains behind.
I will look for a place for you,
Where the sky meets the sea,
Far from here.
With my hands and with your love,
I will manage to find another illusion
Far from here.
I will live by day
Thinking of your smiles,
At night the stars
Will accompany me.
You will be like a light
That shines on my path;
I'm leaving, but I swear to you
That tomorrow I will return.
And when I leave, a kiss and a flower,
An I love you, a caress and a goodbye;
It's light luggage
For such a long journey,
Sorrows weigh on the heart.
Beyond the sea there will be a flower
Where each morning shines brighter;
The stones of the road will forge my destiny,
What we hold dear always remains behind.
