lyrics

10. espero que esta carta te encuentre
i hope this letter finds you
(is the opening greeting of letters in many Latin American countries, “I hope this letter finds you” is usually followed by “in good health and spirits”)

now they are eliminating the doves
freedom - they've counted its days
and i don't want to even imagine what is on the horizon
mother, more than ever, i require your company

i don't mean to sadden you
because i love you
to bring you good news, is what i would prefer
it's that the more the world pains me
the more i call you to me
mother, more than ever, i require your company

take me by the hand
give me the security of seeing
like one that has just been born

the innocence
the affection
the miracle of being
the tenderness
the freshness of the earth
at the time of rain
the beauty
the firmness
of the guamá tree
at the time of flowering
mother, tell me
who is going to redeem
what has been lost?
