Exodus, trova, ballad, short comment on emigration in Cuba, hopes, despairs....

VOICE 1: There are people who sit on the seawall, staring at the horizon, waiting for Santa Claus to arrive and deliver their visa and passport. There are people who sit on the seawall, praying to a god who doesn't answer, and there are so many calls to God that even he went on vacation. There are people like you, there are people like me, who want to cry, who want to scream. There are people whose faith has slipped away. There are people whose faith has sunk into the sea. And there are people like me who write a song because it's better to sing than to mourn their fate.

VOZ 1: Hay gente que se sientan en el malecón
con su mirada fija
al horizonte
esperando a que llegue Santa Claus
que les entregue su visa y pasaporte.

Hay gente que se sientan en el malecón
para pedirle a un dios
que no responde,
y son tantas llamadas para Dios
que hasta él también se fue
de vacaciones.

Hay gente como tú,
hay gente como yo
con ganas de llorar
con ganas de gritar
hay gentes que la fe se les escapó
hay gentes que su fe se les hundió en el mar.

Y hay gente como yo
que escribe una canción
porque es mejor cantar
y no llorar
su suerte.
