Sor María [English translation]

Behind the convent walls

There's a dream held dear

Sister Mary disguised as the wind

dreams and soars with it.

Sister Mary locked away

they took away her freedom

the sisters warned her with fright

falling in love is a sin,

chastity is virtue.

Father Aurelio told her

Sister Mary fold your wings

stay put my daughter

She said: I can't any longer father Aurelio

if light enters water

It forgets the sky

A determined woman in love

stills the air, the universe and reason

if light enters water, it forgets the sky

she goes with a dream held dear

Talking to her shadow

pretending she's with him

she blows a kiss and calls his name

honey on her lips

Sister Mary hopelessly in love

her heart burning

she's flooded with dreams and desire

ignoring it is unatural

for heavens sake don't judge me, Redeemer!

A determined woman in love

stills the air, the universe and reason

if light enters water, it forgets the sky

she goes with a dream held dear

Father Aurelio is seen fleeing

Sister Mary is fatal

they were caught in capital sin

and both were shot dead

hand in hand until the end

like trees who die upright

She dreamt herself

in the morning light

and the flag

kisses her belly and lips and feet

blushing her cheeks are ablaze

She died with a dream held dear

with a dream held dear

with a dream held dear
