SOÑANDO CON PUERTO RICO, Bobby Capó

Si por casualidad duermes
Y sueñas que te acaricia la brisa
Y sientes que el rocío mañanero
Besa tiernamente tu mejilla
Y el aroma del café te hace cosquillas
Seguro sueñas que estás en Puerto Rico

Si por casualidad duermes
Y sueñas que te enamoran las olas
Y que hay un cielo azul en conjura
Con la luna para hacerte prisionero
No lo digas porque es la tierra que quiero
Seguro sueñas que estás en Puerto Rico

Yo no puedo ocultar el orgullo que siento
De ser puertorriqueño
Y que mi pensamiento no importa donde voy
Se fuga hacia la islita no importa donde voy
A la tierra bendita mi pensamiento vuela

Si por casualidad duermes
Y notas que una lagrima te bota
Seguramente es que yo sueño
Que camino por las calles de mi pueblo
Y en el ventorrillo aquel
De mil recuerdos revolvió el ayer
Quizá llorando, llorando, llorando.

Life Is Beautiful

The Perfect Monday

In my youth, I feared going to restaurants on my own. More than anything, I feared being seen by strangers as the poor soul who could not find anyone to dine with. I feel as if with every candle add...
