El Cielo

Los animales corriendo,

los arroyos con su agua brilliante,

una pareja con su nueva bebe y

mi companero, el sol

brilliando junto a mi.

Soy el cielo que nunca

se mueve de su viejo lugar.

 

The Sky

The animals running,

the creeks with shining water,

a couple with their new baby and

my partner, the sun

shining with me.

I am the sky that never

moves from his old place.
