Cristian Ramirez Rodriguez - esperanza Lyrics

A woman in a dream once told me
It might have been my mom
That when the world feels hopeless
You should try and sing this song

Esperanza, esperanza
La esperanza no se va
Esperanza, esperanza
La esperanza no se va

As I hummed the melody
She began a monologue

Have you seen a hummingbird
Like a rainbow painted dove
Fluttering without a care in the world
The bird finds sugar
That she did not reap or sow
Her hope never falters
No matter where she goes

Esperanza, esperanza
La esperanza no se va
Esperanza, esperanza
La esperanza no se va

Have you seen a rose bush?
Blooming in the desert sun
She will overcome

Esperanza, esperanza
La esperanza no se va
Esperanza, esperanza
La esperanza no se va

I told her I felt so lonely
Like all my hope was gone
She said
Mi hijo
Don't you see the face of God?
In the roses, in the thorns
In the desert sun
In the silence, in the song
In the hummingbird
