Tras La Tormenta
Rubén Blades
After the Storm
If the sky darkens, don't be afraid.
Don't fear the storm clouds. Never forget,
darling, how much I love you, because true love
overcomes the pains. When you feel the cold
of sorrow, I'll be by your side, to give you warmth.
No matter how strong the storm is, I won't
move if you don't come with me!
The sun always appears after the downpours.
Always, after the storm comes calm.
After the bad times, the good ones come
and reward those who didn't surrender their souls.
I know how hard it is to overcome the silence, and to face
the past with its mistakes. How easy it is to forget the
good example. How tough it is to admit mistakes.
But it's the blows that teach us that one never learns
by running away from emergencies;
that's why we must face the storm, with our
love and faith as our banner, and against the wind!
The sun always appears...
Yara with Yara's light! Shining in the darkness,
making my soul stronger, in the midst of the storm,
I'm not afraid of death; even if the sun disappears,
Yara, I don't forget to love you!
My heart won't abandon you! Alert and always calm,
even if the sky darkens, I'm with you in the midst
of a downpour, until the sun appears!
Water with sun, old woman with love healing the pain,
refreshing my life on my beloved land surreal tropicalism
cleaning sky and stars deliver us from all evil;
make my homeland more beautiful!
The storm has passed! And the sky shines, the flowers awaken,
the sun appears and blesses my land!
Compay, I told you, the good is coming!
Afterwards, don't forget, with faith, everything is possible!
