Her Hands Were Leaves

Sus manos eran hojas

Her Hands Were Leaves

Mira a mi hermano, está caminando bajo el sol
See my brother he is walking in the sun
Su espalda está desnuda. No lleva carga para nadie
His back is bare he carries no burden for anyone
Veo la isla, una línea de plata
I see the island, a silver line
Hermano, cómo brillan
Brother how you shine
Y alrededor de la luz
And all around the light
Y alrededor de la luz
And all around the light

Ahora veo a mi padre que es tan pequeño contra el cielo
Now I see my father he's so small against the sky
Niño, el árbol, la sombra está en su ojo
Child, the tree, the shadow is on his eye
No sabe quién se supone que es
He doesn't know who he's supposed to be
Padre, eres libre
Father you are free
Y alrededor de la luz
And all around the light
Y alrededor de la luz
And all around the light

Ahora mi mamá está llorando en la escalera
Now my momma she is crying on the stair
Sus manos son hojas, la luz está en su cabello
Her hands are leaves, the light is in her hair
Mientras reza, piensa que nadie escuchó
As she prays she thinks that no one heard
Madre eres un pájaro
Mother you are a bird
Madre eres un pájaro
Mother you are a bird
Y alrededor de la luz
And all around the light
Y alrededor de la luz
And all around the light
Y alrededor de la luz
And all around the light
Alrededor de la luz
All around the light
