Abril [English translation]

I dwell in the sun within you

I discover the land, I learn of the sea,

Through your hands, old ships, I go far,

It was always so very far, yet here so close.

You are my wine, you are my bread.

Guitar and fruitfulness. My ship,

This ship I boarded

To find within you, the country

I searched for you on the bridges of sorrow

I sang predicting as I sang,

When the country of April would come dressed as you

And I would ask who you were.

My love for you I sang. And you gave me

The most pure ground, open tenderness.

For you I sang, around the land around the people

And I found in finding you the country of April

And I found in finding you the country of April.
