It’s been a long time, 22 years, since I was in Cuba, yet I still vividly remember how hard life was for Cubans.  I didn’t think things could get any worse, but oh my God, conditions have gotten so much worse.  When I think of the suffering of the Cuban people, coupled with the beautiful poetry of José Martí, I cry every time I listen to “Guantanamera.”

I'm lucky:  Saw this remarkable woman sing this soulful song at the better than your concert hall Hollywood Bowl.  Twice.

I had never heard this beautiful piece before.  For others, who like myself, are unable to clearly hear/understand the lyrics as they are being sung in the video, I offer the following copy of the lyrics that I was able to find:

 

"Little Sparrow"
 

Little sparrow, little sparrow
Precious fragile little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Flies so high and feels no pain
All ye maidens hede my warning
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you like a sparrow
Leaving you to never mend
They will vow to always love you
Swear no love but yours will do
Then they'll leave you for another
Break your little heart in two

Little sparrow, little sparrow
Precious fragile little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Flies so high and feels no pain

If I were a little sparrow
O'er these mountains I would fly
I would find him, I would find him
Look into his lying eyes
I would flutter all around him
On my little sparrow wings
I would ask him, I would ask him
Why he let me love in vain

I am not a little sparrow
I am just the broken dream
Of a cold false-hearted lover
And his evil cunning scheme

Little sparrow, little sparrow
Precious fragile little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Flies so high and feels no pain

All ye maidens fair and tender
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you like a sparrow
Leaving you to never mend

Little sparrow, little sparrow
Oh the sorrow never ends

One of my favorites is when Celine and Barbra came through with "Tell Him."

Recent postings brought this particular topic to my attention. For a day I’ve been asking myself - “What song makes me emotional?” I even asked a friend, who replied, “Oh! For Christ’s sake, Michael! You can’t get through ‘What I Did For Love’ without weeping!” 
 

Well, all right, then.
