Analysis of Song # 25

Luis A. Estable 1958 (Oriente, Cuba)



Yes, let us go under that tree
And sing some songs of summer.
You see, the birds are now with joy.
Please, be my loving brother!

Let us sit on that fresh grass,
Enjoy the summer weather.
And when, my boy, this time does pass,
We'll have this, Henry, later.

Our memories to smile and tell
Of our little good time
That in our hearts will dwell
As true is true this rhyme.
