A song written by my biological father in memory of his wife, and my mother, who died during El Salvador’s civil war.

### Spanish Lrycis

Caminastes junto a mi  
en busca de un mejor destino  
para ti y lo que viniera de ti

Tu pueblo, tu pueblo no conocio tu entrega  
los oportunistas se la robaron  
traicionando tu ideal,  
nuestro ideal Revolucionario,  
consecuente y necesario  
en el tiempo y espacio  
de nuestra Patria.

La tierra te recibio  
no hubo tristeza ni llanto  
al partir tu rostro amor reflejo.

Tus iluciones quedaron  
se juntaron con el viento  
sin quererlo golpiaron mi corazon.

Cuan grande es tu reflejo de amor  
que se combierte en inspiracion  
para cantar a los vientos  
Libertad, Libertad.

### English Translation

You walked next to me  
in search of a better life  
for you, and from you what would come

Your people, your people, did not know of your sacrifice  
the opportunists stole it  
betrayed your ideal,  
our ideal, Revolutionary  
consequential and necessary  
in time and space  
for our country.

The land received you  
There was no sadness or crying  
In your face love reflected...

Your aspirations were  
gathered by the wind  
unintentionally hurting my heart.

How big is your reflection of love  
which becomes inspiration  
to sing to the wind  
Freedom, Freedom.
