Abriendo Vela

I don’t know where the wind blows,
or if the fire will wait for me next time,
or if I’ll still be standing,
I barely know, yet still
I don’t need it because I’m not dependent
on any feeling
I’ve made my choice.

So I’ll keep setting sail,
even if I can’t see you in the distance,
and I’ll multiply my strength in You,
knowing that on the other shore You’re waiting for me.

I carry in my skin embedded
the red wood that once heard you scream,
your most heart-wrenching song,
that made me forget my past
and lift my eyes to a new dawn,
to a fragrant white, captive, in love...

So I’ll keep setting sail,
even if I can’t see you in the distance,
and I’ll multiply my strength in You,
knowing that on the other shore You’re waiting for me.

I’ll keep, I’ll keep rowing,
I’ll live, I’ll live on this boat,
a sacred commitment....
