God is our answer,
When the music bursts
Under our beloved balcony
In Salvador de Bahia,
When a woman dances
In a cabaret in Manaus,
Love is our answer
When the sky is red and pink
Above the Oregon,
God is our answer,
In the night of algebra,
In zero and infinity
In the chiaroscuro of Rembrandt
On the table around the friends
For a friendly repas,

Nothing will be more beautiful than the sea,
To forget the misery of our little souls,
To forget the pride of idiots,
To love the woman waiting for you in California,
Nothing is more beautiful than the sea,
To finally get to know each other,
O servitudes, you imprison us in our walls,
In our nights without poetry,
Nothing will be more beautiful than the sea,
To hope for a bright future,
To see New York, or the temptations of Bahia
In a white shell on the sand,
Without asking any unnecessary questions,
Nothing will ever be more beautiful than the sea
To taste Couperin’s silences,
To keep the torments of the sprawling city,
Heavy looks from luxury cars,
To forget the war over everything, like leprosy
Spread On the sky.
Nothing is more beautiful than the sea, calm spreading, exposed and free,
To see the sun glistening on the oily waves,
To take an interest in the great journeys to the Pacific,
To escape the mediocrity of lucky souls,
To let his gaze be immersed in the great goodness
Of the world,
Forget; forget that you are watched from high ramparts,
Escape, escape, dive into the deep water,
Write down your destiny.

Some Clarification
In brief:
Difference between Mumbai and Bombay
• There is no difference between Mumbai and Bombay as these are names of the same city that is the capital of the state of Maharashtra
• Bombay is the name given to the city by British that is a corruption of the word Portuguese Bom Bahia, meaning Good Bay.
• Mumbai, the present name of the city is because of Mumba Devi, an ancient Kali Goddess who has a temple in her name in Bhileshwar in the city.

El escritor construyo su casa
en una colina con vista a la bahia’
en un pagina en blanco.
El author sella la puerta con suenos
y promesas rotas y colgo’ la cabeza
Entre las manos.
Su tristeza era pesada levantar.
Cinco dedos, uno manos
Diez’ dedos, dos manos.
Un dedos para susurrar
Dos demos para hacer un beso
Cuatro dedos firman por la paz
Ocho dedos tipo un carte de amor
Diez dedos sostien en dos manos.
?Porque usar Los dedos para cerrar el corazon?
Usa tu manos para abrir to corazon abierto!
Diez dedos, dos manos,
El cinco de manos.

If you want to know how I spend my time
RC Cola and a Moon Pie
Chewing on a stem of Bahia grass
Just in case you feel the need to ask
Skipping stones across a glass top pond
Blowing wishes from a dandelion off the lawn
Living the country life all inside my haed
Before I find there ain't nothing left
Chasing Crawdaddy's in a deep wood stream
Playing hide and seek in a pile of leaves
Cane pole fishing for that elusive Bass
All before Summer's put to bed
Catching Fireflies in their flickering light
Counting all the stars in the skys at night
Stolen Watermelon always tastes the best
That's the part that I'll never confess
Skinny dipping for a living in a mountain lake
Jumping out of planes in a barn of hay
Kids being kids being life fed
Just in case you feel the need to ask

Limerick : Once our Senorita from Sevilla – 12
Once our Senorita from Sevilla
Entered a dance contest in Bahia
Others danced the salsa
Rita dirty samba
Since Sevilla sells the new dance : Salsamba !*
• « Sal » in French means « dirty ».
