Mariposas Blancas
Omara Portuondo
White Butterflies
Like the breeze that comes with the tide
Like the perfume of a flower in spring
Like the murmur of the stream on its bank
You touched my heart in a thousand ways
Embroidering my dreams
Rocking me with your song
Leaving breadcrumbs in the wind
Of your charm
And white butterflies fly
Through my window defying the wind
Under the rain beating their wings
Am I awake, or am I dreaming
And white butterflies fly
Whispering sensual words to me
And I feel my soul rising
Clear and thirsty
I'm falling in love
Like children's laughter when they play
Like a white cloud under the full moon
Like the mail of messenger doves
So has your message arrived at my door
Open, giving way to the voice of your song
That leaves breadcrumbs in the wind of your charm
And white butterflies fly
Through my window defying the wind
Under the rain beating their wings
Am I awake, or am I dreaming
And white butterflies fly
Whispering sensual words to me
And I feel my soul rising
Clear and thirsty
I'm falling in love
Butterflies fly
And caress my heart
Butterflies fly
As messengers of love
