And still they ask me to trade songs for words,/they can't imagine my pulse without poems
¡Y aún me piden canciones por palabras,/no conciben mi pulso sin poemas

More quotes by Julia de Burgos
From my invaded nation,/the battlefield today is independence.
Where does the laughter wander that decorated life/when your heart gathered my sadnesses?
