Fly, Mariposa, Fly

There's an old story my mother used to tell me when I was a child It's about a mariposa — which means butterfly I've always returned to it whenever I've found myself confused about who I was And ... who I was meant to be On a leaf, a mariposa leaves a huevo— That means egg! Which becomes a caterpillar by and by When it's grown, it hides and waits for Mother Nature's kiss Metamorphosis, and when we see her next It's time for her to fly Fly, mariposa, fly I would never pin such beauty down You should be free to touch the sky So fly, mariposa, fly That is how I see you, Daphne As a caterpillar?! As a butterfly! About to take wing! Other men will see the colors that define you Every day they try to catch you for a prize So fly above the one you love, he'll never need a net And he won't forget That wings like yours were meant to fire up the skies Fly, mariposa, fly To a hill in Te-Adoro town I'll wait for you there 'til I die So fly, mariposa, fly Our romance Might be the chance for you to dance and spread your wings Don't fear the night Embrace the light my loving brings Listen as it sings! La-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la Flowers bloom, there's sweet perfume That says "the world is new, so take in the view" And when you land A rose in hand waits there for you Fly, mariposa, fly I would never pin such beauty down You should be free to touch the sky So fly, mariposa, fly Fly, mariposa, fly To our hill in Te-Adoro town I wait for you there 'til I die So fly, mariposa, fly I'll wait for you there 'til I die So fly, mariposa, fly!
