Sample verse


Me visto tu cara sobre la mia,
Y con tus ojos veo tu ermosa sivdad natal.
La tristesa y la maravilla te anvelopan,
En viendo lugares que ya no los conoses mas.

I have seen your face over mine,
And I see your beautiful birth town within your eyes.
Sadness and wonder envelop you,
By seeing places you do not know anymore.
