Perla Batalla Lyrics

Mariposa morena
El quetzal la paloma
The heron’s wing - the old gray whale
Love is in the detail

Sol de oro - azul del mar
Profunda luz de libertad
The coral bed - the blue deer trail
Love is in the detail

(chorus)
On the water - rose an island
On the island - rose a mountain
‘Round the mountain - heaven and earth meet

Shake the darkness from your clothes
And walk with me down this old road
And share with me your body’s light
For there is not a soul in sight

Uprooted by another wind
A thunderclap - the human skin
Touched by your familiar voice
Lost in freedom - freed by choice

(chorus)

And everywhere the mountains rise
Reaching for some paradise
Remembering a different blue
I will always think of you

(chorus)
