&quot;Mi salvaci&oacute;n fue leer, leer los buenos libros, refugiarme en esos mundos donde vivir era exaltante, intenso, una aventura tras otra, donde pod&iacute;a sentirme libre y volv&iacute;a a ser feliz&quot;<br /> - Mario Vargas Llosa<br /> My salvation was read, read good books, take refuge in those worlds where living was exhilarating, intense, one adventure after another, where I could feel free and be happy again



take me to the other side
where people live happy and free
its a place that is known worldwide
at the other side of the sea

my mom and dad are coming with me
lonely I will never be here
I want to get down of the tree
and land softly on my knees

I had a magical dream
in a place dark and full of steam
on a boat sailing to the sea
my brother and me are now

my mom and dad hold my hand
sinking the boat is now!
be strong I think inside
the waters are wild and tough

I can feel the breeze of the air on my head
Europe here I am!
I close my eyes and lay my face down to the sands
too tired I feel right now

lonely I know I am not
thousands of me are coming
I wish my mom and brother where here
soon I will meet them too
