Baile De Los Sueños

Dance of Dreams

I hear the sound of the earth calling me,
beating to the rhythm of my heart
That burning sensation under my skin when the sun sets,
heat and salt in the wind.

And I remember your voice
caressing my love,
and I remember your eyes.

(Chorus:)
It's the dance of my town that moves me
and always accompanies me wherever I go,
it's the land that has engraved everything I am.
It's the dance of dreams that strips away all reason from my mind,
dance of dreams, that lives wherever I go.

All the blue is engraved in your eyes,
all the love lives moving under my skin
and my throat screams nonstop 'I am Caribbean!'
My secrets smell like salt.

(1)

(Chorus)

I carry the cumbia within me,
I am Caribbean, I am the rumba
and even as time passes, I return to the sea.

I return because it's my fire,
because I carry it deep inside,
I fly because it's my home, it's my place.

(Chorus)
