Regina Ridge
Salto
No hay sonidos de voces
donde ando pero hay música
de estrellas caéndose
y siempre hay olas al fondo
de este corazón meciéndome
dormida hacia sueños azulejados.
Dime, cuando me vas a regalar
tu confianza eterna?
Ábrase el camino al mar
para que podemos
entrarlo juntos.
Grita y dar un salto
hacia tu espejo!
Translation:
Leap
There are no sounds of voices
where I wander but there is
the music of falling stars
and always there are waves
at the bottom of this heart
rocking me to sleep
towards blue tiled dreams.
Tell me, when will you grant me
your eternal trust?
Break open the way
to the sea so we can
enter it together.
Shout and take a leap
into your mirror!
