Mi Negra Ave María Lyrics - Yo - Roberto Fonseca

She was a daffodil peddler 

Dallying in petals as only a floraphile can. 

And I saw her on the brink of the water 

Where the waves lit the earth 

Wet the sands. 

There have been a thousand boats 

That have crossed this water 

And we have lived through a million storms 

And with all the thunder that has crashed the buildings 

Set fire to trees, and scorched this earth 

We are still here 

And are learning patience 

Despite our foibles, and the human curse. 

And yes maybe 

Just maybe 

We can return to the land of animals 

Four footed walkers, 

And we, two footed creatures 

Can find a way to be as wise. 

And these cities, they can grow flowers 

And these machines, they can disappear 

And yes indeed my good friends these are our choices 

If we see the petal pusher in front of us dead. 

And she's here 

Walking on this shore 

So pay attention 

Take time to see 

And all of you on the banks running through your things 

On your calls and your machines 

Take heed 

Its time to put on the brakes and understand 

That this is our planet damn, we will make it 

If we just receive. 

So please, sweet one 

Child with the white robes, 

Let us ride your white robes 

To a brand new right here. 

And THIS here 

Will be the one we build 

Until Olympus is all around 

And Atlantis can once again 

Rise from the ocean 

And the musical, beautiful sound will resound 

And shake in every tree 

So the tree reverberates with you and I 

And I can feel you and I 

Deep inside me, and vice versa. 

Take my hand 

And she will take yours and understand, 

We will walk on the earth as if that earth was sky 

And every cloud-- 

They will nod, they will know you. 

They will know us 

For what we were 

What we are 

And what we will be 

In the future far.
