Madeira Flower Festival 2012/ End of the Parade
My heart is painted green and blue!
Green, from the green hills, where the sun brightens the north.
Blue, from the blue seas, that extends to the affectionate sky.
Mountains and valleys sleep tenderly in my heart.
Where linen embroiderers wait for their men to arrive from the sea.
The same men who dig and harvest our farms.
I want to keep this blooming spring from my island!
It is green and blue that my heart is painted!
I want so deeply to feel that there will always be joy on being a Madeira Native. I proudly observe my land, the churches, the roses blooming, the hope that the color green brings to us, the lavish blue sea, these are the colors of the island that I love.
This great Island that makes my home and I filled with life, making everyone happy.
I leave here my tribute with all sorts of colors transmitting bliss to my special island and all its inhabitants.
