Son Para Un Festival
Pablo Milanés
They Are For A Festival
One spends life looking for a being
that fills them with love and heals the wound
of the void left by the lost cause
in the arms of loves that never came to be.
They search for what to do with the fantasy of their presence
and one fresh morning, they appeared,
unannounced, serene, made no promises,
simply arrived and stayed.
Today I discover a whole different world,
now everything has a reason to be
I'm changing people's prejudices
I'm feeling like I've just been born, to see
that in love, they weren't any different than me
but, they talk about their uncertain freedom,
they condemn her for sharing the same fate
that absolves me because; man is not the same,
to love.
One spends life looking for a being
and when they finally arrive and heal my wound
I don't let them go due to lost causes
that hide loves that could never be.
Don't pay attention, no matter what they say
defend the love that taught you
how beautiful life is.
Don't mind people if your love is personal
and if you fail, you'll feel it, you won't be a social burden.
Don't pay attention, no matter what they say
defend the love that taught you
how beautiful life is.
During the day for work, at night for the committee
we'll all continue together fighting with more faith,
with the spare time, do as you wish.
Don't pay attention, no matter what they say
defend the love that taught you
how beautiful life is.
Fight for it, for that love
no decision that isn't a risk
can erase traces of pain.
Don't pay attention, no matter what they say
defend the love that taught you
how beautiful life is.
