I live in music
Location
I live in music
From my days in the womb,
Mother’s sweet, majestic voice
In my veins.
I live in music
The vitality of my soul
Tiny trembling fingers
As they gently press the piano keys
My heart fluttering
To every breathtaking beat.
I live in music
It’s Karlita dancing in the park
Swaying her hips to those Latin roots
Salsa sounds, blazing horns
1-2-3 Cha-cha 1-2-3-Cha-Cha
Wah-wah goes the trumpets
On those Big band records
Growling saxophone genius
As el Gatito plays “Europa”
My blood boiling with excitement
As my feet begin to soar.
I live in music
Tears helping the earth grow
My passion, the blooming flower
But oh when that girl smiles
Those big brown, long lashed eyes
Sparkle the sky
A music-note sprinkled cereal
A daily meal.
I live in music
I live in my sound
Mi música
Con ese saxofón fuerte
La música está en esa niña linda
The music lives in me.
