Fly, Shine, Soar by Little Miss Ann

Fly, Shine, Soar — by 123 Andrés and Little Miss Ann

A Mother’s Day song by Ann Torralba, Little Miss Ann!

Note from Andrés:

This beautiful song written by our friend Ann Torralba, Little Miss Ann, is part of our album La Luna, Canciones para soñar.

Christina and I fell in love with the song and we recorded the vocals in Ann’s bungalow in Chicago. Later on another trip in Chicago, we experienced some serious winter storms. It was a perfect opportunity to shoot a video that gives so much hope and brings sunshine. I hope this brings sunshine to you as well!!

Esta linda canción fue compuesta por nuestra amiga Ann Torralba, Little Miss Ann. A Christina y a mi nos encantó la letra y la música y decidimos incluirla en nuestro album La luna (canciones para soñar). El video fue grabado en Chicago durante una hermosa tormenta de nieve.

LYRICS:

I want you to fly,

I want you to fly, my honeypie

I want you to shine,

I want you to shine, my sunshine

And I know I have some fears

And I know they engulf me

And I know I have to let them go

Yo quiero que vueles,

Yo quiero que vueles, hasta el sol

Yo quiero que brilles,

Yo quiero que brilles, mi corazón

I want you to soar,

I want you to soar, my love
