Eglise Gutierrez singing Flor de Yumuri by Eduardo Sanchez de Fuentes. Jorge Emilio Rodriguez – Pianist (3:51)
The Yumuri is a river that crosses the province of Matanzas, in Cuba. In the song, a girl is waiting for her native lover, by the river, and sees her reflection in the water, full of love for him. Here’s a good article on the background of this lovely song.
Beautiful flower of Yucayo
At birth Yumurí took my image
into its crystal surface
That river is
where I long to see my face
reflected always.
Come, O my love, to the shore
of this golden river
With your arrow and your caney.
Come you’ll see how the river
with its waters weeps
The lament of the Siboney.
Come, for the flower of your Yumurí
ardently awaits you.

Here’s the original Cranberries song:
Dreams The Cranberries (4:13)
Oh, my life is changing every day
In every possible way
And oh, my dreams
It’s never quite as it seems
(Never quite as it seems)
I know I felt like this before
But now I’m feeling it even more
Because it came from you
Then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be, C’mon
La ah, La, ah, ah, ah
I want more, impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore
(And they’ll come true)
Impossible not to do
And now I tell you openly
You have my heart, so don’t hurt me
You’re what I couldn’t find
A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You’re everything to me
Sing it for me!
