Sueños
Pablo Milanés
Dreams
I want to go back
to the place where I was born.
I want to remember
staying there.
I want to imagine that
everything stayed the same,
that there wasn't a time that passed
for me to live.
I want to return
to the innocence of going
every day to discover
a blue morning,
a bird in the sunlight,
the pure wind that hits my
heart with love.
I want to go back to that place
where the river sings a song,
to bathe in the sun,
to breathe in the smell of grass as I step out.
And in my childhood world,
merge with the sky and let
my thoughts fly free.
I want to go back
to the place where I was born... never.
