El coraz\u00f3n de la lluvia se agita<\/b><\/p>\n

El coraz\u00f3n de la lluvia se agita
\n<\/span>cuando los grillos cantan
\n<\/span>su infinita desesperanza.
\n<\/span>El coraz\u00f3n de la lluvia se inquieta
\n<\/span>cuando las aves migran
\n<\/span>en busca de paz.<\/span><\/p>\n

El coraz\u00f3n de la lluvia enmudece
\n<\/span>cuando los brazos del tiempo
\n<\/span>giran sin piedad.
\n<\/span>El coraz\u00f3n de la lluvia se alegra
\n<\/span>cuando en noches de luna plena
\n<\/span>danzamos sin descansar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Y yo, quiero ser el coraz\u00f3n de la lluvia
\n<\/span>para so\u00f1arte.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nAuto-traducci\u00f3n de Gloria C\u00e1ceres Vargas<\/span><\/h5>\n

The rain\u2019s heart is disturbed<\/b><\/p>\n

The rain\u2019s heart is disturbed
\n<\/span>when the crickets sing
\n<\/span>its immense agony.
\n<\/span>The rain\u2019s heart gets nervous
\n<\/span>when the birds migrate
\n<\/span>looking for peace.<\/span><\/p>\n

The rain\u2019s heart falls silent
\n<\/span>when time\u2019s arms
\n<\/span>spin cruelly.
\n<\/span>The rain\u2019s heart rejoices
\n<\/span>when on nights of a full moon
\n<\/span>we dance without rest.<\/span><\/p>\n

And I want to be the rain\u2019s heart
\n<\/span>to dream about you.<\/span><\/p>\n
