Cuando Te Encontré
Pablo Milanés
When I Found You
Where I found you
Something has happened
When I didn't dream
That it was possible
Where I found you
A tree has grown
Next to a deep lake
Of warm crystal
Where I found you
A valley has emerged
Where the sun shines
Where a man sings
Where I found you
Where you found me
The night is full of stars
The moon is of the sea
When I found you
Every creature was a dream
That had to come
With the good times
When I found you
Nothing knew its function
There was no song
With which to kiss the wind
When I found you
Everything was unknown
And the world was born
From the love we made
When I found you
The cloud learned to pass
The wing to fly
And the sky to be infinite
And what I found
Kept growing
Overflowing the sea
Awakening time
And your heart
Flew with the wind
Sometimes in peace
Sometimes violent
And what I found
Was no longer unknown
It became the song
That had been lost
I won't lose it
Nor will the greatest wealth take it away
A concession
To this shared clamor
And they will meet
Those with the brave machete
With the last hero
Who has been lost until today
Together they will shout
It will be better to sink into the sea
Than to betray before
The glory that has been lived
