Girasoles

It was necessary to breathe to look around
I walk through Havana and a coffee
In front of the Malecon, with, with, with, with

Memories begin
The thorns surfaced in my interior
Everything that is not attended to
Sooner or later, reappears, ah

But we look at each other
What a year we had, let's see if we bounce back
Without dedicating more time and the world is full
Of good women and men

So I sing to the brave
Who carry truth as their flag
To those who are able to empathize with others
Those who do not participate in injustices
Do not turn a blind eye
Those who do not settle
Those who always water their roots

To you, my companion, who reaches out to me
Whose heart is kindness
You study me with curiosity
You look at me with respect
And kiss, with affection, every part of my body

You have sunflowers in your eyes
And when you look at me, I am the brightest star
When you laugh, the whole ceiling lights up
I sleep peacefully, feeling so much calm inside

And, you have sunflowers in your eyes
And when you look at me, I am the brightest star
When you laugh, the whole ceiling lights up
I sleep peacefully, feeling so much calm inside

It is necessary to relive in order to savor
I fit the ideas, reflection to improve
Before a big push, I take a small step back
Everything I did not attend to always resurfaces

But we smile, oh how we lived, all that we learned
I will not dedicate more time because the world is full
Of good women and men

So I sing to the coherent ones, to the humble ones seeking peace
To the sensitive beings who care for others and know how to love
To all those who fight for our rights, see every man as equal
To those who do not judge me and are willing to share

To you, my companion, who has a pure soul
Whose heart is kindness
Respects my vital space
Listens to me attentively
And kisses, with affection, every part of my body

You have sunflowers in your eyes
And when you look at me, I am the brightest star
When you laugh, the whole ceiling lights up
I sleep peacefully, feeling so much calm inside

And... You have sunflowers in your eyes
And when you look at me, I am the brightest star
When you laugh, the whole ceiling lights up
I sleep peacefully, feeling so much calm inside

The progress of the human condition
Unavoidably requires that there be people
Who feel, deep down, happy
And give their lives in service of human progress
