Rosana
Silvio Rodriguez
Rosana
I'm already remembering you, Rosana
Even though you haven't gone
The morning star that shines tomorrow
Is what I've wanted for you
I'm already remembering you, chosen one
Like a prisoner in the shadow
It revives the color of life
It caresses it and names it
Not a penny costs you this kiss
For my soul pays for it
I only hope the same for that
Until the end of the saga
When the good ones write life
In the end, victors
It will be known that we didn't use poison
Like the scent of flowers
Tenderness will sprout from the blood
Innocence and mirrors
Where new children and old ones will run
Mischief
Each trace will serve as a sign
Of happy hours
So much will be known about the stars
As about scars
And the path you take, Rosana
Will be better sometimes
Because at other times, Cuban
You will cry abundantly
You're leaving. I'm staying and can't guess
To know what happened
I just know that, by cause or destiny
You're no longer by my side
