Bebe en mi cántaro
Victor Heredia
Drink from my jug
Drink from my jug
How to forget that we were two
running to the valley without fear
that from your hand I drew
my colorful kite,
That you taught me not to lie
that hardness is not rigor
and when I had to cry
you wanted to do it for me.
Father, don't be afraid
if the sky shrinks for you.
I have a horizon
of calm waters for you.
Take my arm
and slowing down
let's walk
because it's still time to start.
Drink from my jug if you are thirsty.
For you I learned that a woman
is not an ornament of the man.
Shuffle where the king sleeps
of hearts of love.
And for your gray hairs I traveled
this path of learning
and from the wasteland to your voice
I was always a child to grow up.
