Propuesta
Marta Gómez
Proposal
I propose a song as a way out,
As the only truth of the heart.
I propose a word that moves away from pain,
I propose a dream dedicated for two.
I cling to the illusion of a good memory
And sing even if my voice breaks
Knowing that this war is killing my song,
But silence doesn't lead to anything better.
A light that illuminates everything
And a little bit of hope
A piece of hope
To clarify our reason.
I propose a caress at noon
The kiss of a mother upon waking
I propose the innocence of children playing
They propose wings to teach us to fly.
I cling to the truth of this moment
And sing with the strength it gives me
The people who, looking at me so full of loneliness,
Beg me to give them my song.
A light that illuminates everything
And a little bit of hope
A piece of hope
To clarify our reason.
