Tierra querida

I don't know
how I could live
without remembering
the sublime emotions
of love
where I enjoyed the tenderness
of a warm home
in which I was happy.
I do not know
that there is another fertile land
like you
of love, glory and women
and women like no other,
of beautiful flowers and a sky
where the sun
radiates the light of freedom!

Beloved land
where I was born
the ruby of your dawns
I will not see.
Your pure sky and your sun
I will no longer be able to enjoy far from you!

Beloved land
in you I left
the ideals and dreams
of my being,
my sweet mother and the one
my heart
filled with love and faith.
