1957 War in Ifni
Embracing peace amidst the shadows of war, a little girl’s heart yearns for
tranquility in
the turbulent year of 1957 in Ifni.
Immersed in that War
Without any will
I'm only two years old...
and I was born for Peace
In my little soul,
I feel, a little girl,
A sorrow was engraved.
In my little heart of love
A sadness remained.
In my mother's arms
She taught me Peace,
we stayed united;
we did not abandon;
Family Love
I pray for Peace
Mari Paz her fruit of Love
Great spirit
Small body
I, seeker of paradise
Her plea for Peace
I felt powerless
Calm… Anxiety… Not now… You will later
Every day
the territory shrinks,
every day
friends die,
in the toughest...
the war
Trapped in a well
Other frightened children
wait in the dark
they hold on for safety
Prisoners without sun
Upon leaving the anguish
What will the children wish for?
They only wish for peace
They only wish for light,
Life and freedom
To love and to love.
