One of the dearest remembrances of my childhood was Jorge, a little black & white cat, nodding on the stairs of the town hall.
|
|
I had no time for him,
'cause I preferred to run across the large empty spaces of my beloved island.
I dreamt about being a little star of the dance...
|
|
... but often I forgot to be a star and play with other children in the sunny roads.
I was happy 'til that day...
|
|
...the day of la rezzolution!
|
|
I left my quiet childhood at home and found myself an angry teen...
who thought to rule the world... without any rules!
|
|
I should work to help my family,
but the air was fizzy,
the sun was shiny,
and my eyes were new.
Too old for playing,
too young for working!
|
|
But another change was waiting for me...
|
|
At last, I was a woman, with a vast horizon in front of me.
Not only my body has changed,
but every fiber of my soul...
All at once, I realized I was alone... and I didn't wanna be alone.

One summer night,
Cuba was making merry.
I was on the terrace of my home wandering what to do while music sweetened my lonely heart little by little...
A beautiful stranger was looking at me, smiling...
|
|
I went downstairs and shily reached him...
I can feel electricity in the air... and I was afraid that my heart would stop forever!
We danced all night long...
and it was like dancing would be the only important thing in life!
|
|
It was a long long week,
we had good time together...
|
|
... but one day I waited for him a long time
and more again the day after...
and the day after that...
and again and again...
|
|
|
|
...but he gave me a special remembrance of those happy days...
I wouldn't be alone anymore.
