"LUZ' KICKSTARTER PROJECT RELAUNCHING HAVING GREAT SUCCESS!

"LUZ" RELAUNCHING HAVING GREAT SUCCESS!! Update #25 · Sep. 06, 2012 · comment edit this post Dear friends, I am very happy to let you know that the relaunching of the "LUZ" Kickstarter project is having great success so far. We've reached the 70% mark of our goal. However, we still have a long way to go, which means we still really need your help in order to succeed. As you may know Kickstarter works on a "all or nothing" basis, meaning that if we do not reach our goal within the next 3 weeks, the project won't be funded and all the money gathered so far will be returned to the original donors. So, please share and pledge. The link for the new version of "LUZ" is: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/192401587/luz-a-new-cd-by-costa-rican-composer-luis-munoz ¡Muchas gracias!!!!!!

TESTAMENTO-MAS ALLA

Dejo en tu vientre, barcos de papel
Miel en tus labios y un pétalo en tu red
Y en tus entrañas, el recuerdo
De nuestra historia, de nuestra historia

El más allá de un horizonte azul
Todos los campos y la flor del jasmín
Once suspiros y la espuma
Sobre las olas, sobre las olas

Dejo el agua y la sed
La esperanza, mi alma y mi piel
Dejo la imaginación
El silencio y una canción

Dejo la cima y la profundidad
Dejo el instante, dejo la eternidad
Dejo mi barca, mi centella
Y en tus pupilas miles de estrellas
Y en tus verdes pupilas, miles de estrellas.
