Song – Handful of Sand
Click to return to the Folkloric and Popular Songbook of Honduras
Lyrics and Music: Belisario Romero
That little handful of sand
We together took from the sea (repeat)
I keep it because I remember the joy
That God sent in the waves
Auroras on the beaches of Tela
Enchantments in my beloved Honduras
I suffer because time has passed
And with it I have lost
The most beautiful illusion
That I forged in my life
That little handful of sand
I keep it with great devotion
I think that in life
It can never return to the sea
Return to the sea
Return to the sea
