San Pedro
Marta Gómez
Saint Peter
I only ask Saint Peter
That if he takes me there,
Let me keep singing
Without telling me to be quiet (repeat)
I heard that if one dies
Without knowing why,
The body stays below
And the soul rises afterwards (repeat)
So I wonder:
If I sing from the heart,
Will my song die when I die? (repeat)
If the singing comes from within
I feel it right here
Could it be coming from the soul
When will one die? (repeat)
I don't ask for much,
But he has to understand
That I really like to sing
And it's the only thing I know how to do
I promise Saint Peter
That if he lets me sing,
I'll bring joy to everyone's death
For all eternity.
