when you love really,
when you apologize instead of holding a grudge,
there is peace in your heart.
When you feel sorry for your friend and his sorrow,
when you look the star that hides the fog,
there is peace in your heart.
Beyond the grudge from the tears and the sorrow
the love's light shines within every heart.
Illusion, Christmas, put your dreams to fly,
harvest peace, give love, the whole world asks for any more.
When a prayer pops out, when you accept the mistake,
when you find a place for freedom there is a smile more.
When reason comes and misunderstanding comes out,
when you want to fight for an ideal, there is a smile more.
There is a ray of sunshine by the window,
there is a better world when learning to love.
....
When you put your fears to bed and proclaim friendship,
when you have joined your voice to the same singing, there is peace in your heart.
When you look forward to and discover the truth,
when you want to build a better tomorrow, there is peace in your heart.
Cuban Christmas Lyrics
When you're giving without expecting something in return*,
ReplyDeletewhen you love really,
when you apologize instead of holding a grudge*,
there is peace in your heart.
When you feel sorry for your friend and his sorrow,
when you look AT the star that hides the fog,
there is peace in your heart.
Beyond the grudge from the tears and the sorrow
the love's light shines within every heart.
Illusion(1), Christmas, put your dreams to fly,
SOW peace, give love, the whole world asks for [] more.
When a prayer ARISES(2), when you accept the mistake,
when you find a place for freedom there is a smile more.
When reason ARRIVES and misunderstanding DEPARTS,
when you want to fight for an ideal*, there is a smile more.
There is a ray of sunshine by/THROUGH the window,
there is a better world when learning to love.
....
When you put your fears to bed* and proclaim friendship,
when you have joined your voice to the same singing, there is peace in your heart.
When you look forward to and discover the truth,
when you want to build a better tomorrow*, there is peace in your heart.
(1) "Ilusión" translates to many different words in English, and I don't think "illusion" is what you intended here.
(2) "To pop up" seems too informal for a prayer.
*Great job with these expressions.
(1) yes, I know this
