| THE FLOWERING From the trenches and the protection of my home I feel that this wait will see my city flower once more reborn, like yesterday. When I found this small part of the world I found a place to sow my heart and my soul. Now I am inside my home and I can’t see my friends and give them my love. No te puedo hoy ver, (I can’t see you now…) no puedo sentir tu piel, (I can’t feel your arms today…) pero sé que al fin, (but I know…) vibrarás tú junto a mí; (you’ll be with me…) ponto, muy pronto al florecer. (soon, very soon to be reborn…) When you came to live here you chose me as your brother y ahora tú mi hermano eres (and now you are my brother) parte de mí, en donde estés (part of me, and here where we are) Soon, very soon, my San Miguel, I will see you newly reborn enjoying the mariachis in El Jardin, contemplating a rosy sunset. I know very soon my San Miguel we will return to our festivities; people of all sorts living together, and the ringing of the bells will return. I am singing this song for you my friend I will feel your hand with me again, and I want to hear your voice singing with me ‘cause I know this waiting will find an end…. No one can take you away from me, you have enchanted me once and for all time. Although we are absent from one another I know we will be reunited; Your magic is woven to my being. |
