Ciudad de Cien Mares
Marta Gómez
City of a Hundred Seas
Here, my song is felt, my story is lived, it is allowed to live
Here, kisses are made, stories are explained for sleeping
I have from you your courage, your scream and silence, your burst of passion
I have your grace, your joy, your verse, your laughter, your coral skin
City of a hundred seas, city of a thousand ports, eternal
Here in your sun I pause, to your sky I surrender, I dream of dying
Here in your sun I pause, to your sky I surrender, I dream of dying
Here, my song is lived, my story is lived, it is allowed to live
Here, kisses are made, stories are explained for sleeping
I have your patience, I wait for your time, I keep your art in my voice
I carry your absences, I resist, I protest and one day I become a song
And if suddenly I leave, sure enough, I miss you right away
More than adoring you, I esteem you, I approach your streets to see you sing
City of a hundred seas, city of a thousand ports, eternal
Here in your sun I pause, to your sky I surrender, I dream of dying
City of a hundred seas, city of a thousand ports, open
Here in your sun I pause, to your sky I surrender, I dream of dying
Here in your sun I pause, to your streets I surrender, I dream of dying
And hidden behind the streets lives my first love
I carry your light and your scent wherever I go
