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 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 (Define you)

Every day, they try to catch you for a prize

So fly above

The one you love

Will never need a net

And he won't forget

That wings like yours were meant to fire up the sky

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 (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)

La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la (La-la-la-la, la)

Flowers bloom, they're 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 a hill in Te-Adoro town

I'll wait for you there 'til I die

So fly, mariposa, fly

I'll wait for you there 'til I die

So fly, mariposa, fly
