May My People Bloom

A Que Florezca Mi Pueblo

I want to sing to my landQuiero cantarle a mi tierra
And may it bloomY que florezca
Within the climate of my townDentro del clima mi pueblo
And its springY su primavera
Inaugurate a thousand doves of breadInaugurar mil palomas de pan
And may they not dieY que no mueran

I want to rise in a shoutQuiero elevarme en un grito
And maybe I canY tal vez pueda
Take the sun by the handTomar el sol de la mano
When it moves awayCuando se aleja
To take away its light and voicePara quitarle la luz y la voz
My town waitsMi pueblo espera

When you stop to look at lifeCuando tu te pares a mirar la vida
At the exact vertex of time and lightEn el vertice justo del tiempo y la luz
You will see the greatness of man and his dayVeras la grandeza del hombre y su dia
His new path, his blue songSu camino nuevo, su cancion azul

I want to sprout in the earQuiero brotar en la espiga
Of consciousnessDe la conciencia
Of the new man who fightsDel hombre nuevo que lucha
For his tomorrowPor su mañana
And proclaim his blue time standingY proclamar su tiempo azul de pie
Facing itDando la cara
