L’abandon [English translation]

The sun in autumn, indulgent.

The naked skins give themselves to the warm winds.

There the tempo appears

Beating to the lazy rhythm.

Abandonment, everything can be learnt.

Waves caress with hot currents,

The soft sand, beautiful and a tender lover.

There the infinite dances

we mix and Love loves Life.

Abandonment is learned, nature initiates here.

Chorus:

We already know those moments

the sun has prepared that.

Abandonment is very small

the islands initiate love here.

We already know those rhythms,

the fires from below, this lascivious state,

The heat and the wind,

oh, slowly

my island teaches me.

The men's rum softened their arms.

Laughter at women, girls, bursts,

the velvet nights here,

the same in Panama, even in Cuba,

love is hungry for you and vice versa.

Body to body, soldier lovers,

The pleasure in these burn fights.

Everything here: water, climate,

everything is desire, we do not escape.

Abandonment, everything can be learned

in dances and children's games.

Chorus : (×2)

We already know those moments,

the sun has prepared that.

Abandonment is very small,

the islands initiate love here.

We already know those rhythms,

the fires from below, this lascivious state,

The heat and the wind,

oh, slowly

my island teaches me.

A step from you, a step from me,

the ponds stick and move very low.

Everything is learned, abandonment,

I go where you go and beyond.

All against you, the night without law,

Let the moment lift and fill us.

The moment, this moment,

nothing is more important than that.

We already know those moments,

the sun has prepared that.

The heat and the wind,

oh, slowly

my island teaches me.
