I was born on the shores
black and restless of Montserrat;
old black neighborhood
who gave my steps his same walk.
About the conventillos
I was a sparrow
sweet and voracious
I was like every child
for your love
anywhere.
That's who I am, there's no more to talk about.
I am free as the wind
and my feelings I do not know how to keep quiet.
I like to fly
from tip to tail through the city.
I look and twice I look
because once is not enough to look.
I run through the wastelands
and I open shutters to listen
the things that tell me
voices that say
clearly.
That's who I am, there's no more to talk about.
I am free as the wind
and my feelings I do not know how to keep quiet.
Together with my friends
I go to the shelter of friendship.
But to my enemies
I do not grant them that freedom.
Sometimes I am a sailboat
and meek sailing
by the channel.
And others I'm like thunder,
furious wheel
of the gale.
That's who I am, there's no more to talk about.
I am free as the wind
and my feelings I do not know how to keep quiet.
Only among all we can make this a better place :)
