Ballad of Sea and Sky

by Ester Feliciano Mendoza, translated by Sharon Benson

 

The clouds play swinging.
Over the waves,
how happily they glide!
The winds, like doves
Soaring over the open sea,
... spread their wingsto take flight.
The bright little stars playing like little boys...
chase little-girl seawith their light.
Flinging orange blossom bouquets to the wind,
The moon sings in the heavens up high,
My island's night,
what a beautiful sight!
A vision so lovely of sea and sky!
