Mi Ultimo Adios
Marco Antonio Solís
My Last Goodbye
I have come from there
Where the need
Hardens your heart
Claiming reason
Where there are minds that exterminate words that contaminate
Forever an illusion.
Today here under this sun
Another air another country
Where long ago
Was my origin, my root
But also and unfortunately
I face bureaucracy
That makes my life gray.
But I will walk
With good will
And with love
Always giving the best
Among brothers of hope
Sheltered in trust
We will calm the pain.
And I will fight
No one can avoid it
And my intention
Only God knows
That my youngest children
See my dreams come true
After my last goodbye.
(spoken:)
I asked one day to the sky
How many paths exist
To find for mine
A little piece of land
Where we can fill ourselves
With warmth and joy.
Where we can be something,
Something more than fantasies.
But the sky is not far
As I thought before
I discovered it in that wind
That was carrying me forward
Because if I went through a thousand paths
And not losing my breath
I knew among my feelings
That it was God who was blowing.
But I will walk
With good will
And with love
Always giving the best
Among brothers of hope
Sheltered in trust
We will calm the pain.
And I will fight
No one can avoid it
And my intention
Only God knows
That my youngest children
See my dreams come true
After my last goodbye.
That my youngest children
See my dreams come true
After my last goodbye
