No Ha Sido Fácil
Pablo Milanés
It Has Not Been Easy
I, I grew up and forged myself
Like my different generation
From yesterday
I am, continuity of my childhood
Which is the daughter of the sweat
Of the arms that I loved
I am as they wanted me to be
But trying to be myself
Not even bad
But truly
Not even good
It has not been easy to have
An opinion that makes
My vocation count
My freedom to choose
I love without seeing what in the future
May happen
I let the purest feeling
Blossom
Love me without any fear
For I shall promise
Fidelity to my way of being
I, I only have the reason
Of who I would like to be
Better than yesterday
I, I place my heart in your hands
With all my virtue
My selfishness too
Suffer with me the mistakes I will make
Also enjoy the good
That will be achieved without pretending
Climb with me to find the step
That I will evoke to reach
That place I once dreamed of
