SONG WITH NO CRADLE OF THE EXILES WHO LEAVE CUBA
WITH THE AUTHORITIES' CONSENT
Music: Documentary (fragment)
It dawns above the sea
in silence.
The small boat gives its sails to the weaves,
It accompanies them.
"Don't be afraid, girl, the coast cannot be seen now.
Soon the sun will lift itself up above our shoulders,
The mirror accompanies us,
Do not be afraid,
Its embers spread itself over the horizon,
Convokes what will come, yes,
It will come. "
We go floating on hunger
Tossed by promises
Hieratic orders, but
"... You'll see my girl, my love,
How there'll be dried clothes
And hot plate, even if it is not
in Spanish. "
The sun falls alone, in silence,
and is cut by the curve
in a thousand memories.
There is no one,
but
"You'll see my little love,
Do not be afraid of the night,
They will come,
They will come
Please come, for Heaven's sake
Don't miss
Show up
Through the mute gap
That leaves the sun. "
