about

A sentimental jazz song about the most important thing in life: human encounters, accompanied by guitarist Hector Quintana and trumpet player Yasek Manzano.

lyrics

Tomar un café cortado
Conversar con invitados
Un olor a miel
El color de tu piel

Encontrarse con amigos
Reír con desconocidos
El primer amor
Recordar tu sabor

Estoy agradecida
Por los encuentros
Que la vida me regala
Los sentimientos que me da
Ya no busco el sentido
De existir en este mundo
Porque son los encuentros
Los que me hacen vivir
Porque son los encuentros
Los que me hacen vivir

(solos)

Estoy agradecida
Por los encuentros
Que la vida me regala
Los sentimientos que me da
Ya no busco el sentido
De existir en este mundo
Porque son los encuentros
Los que me hacen vivir
Porque son los encuentros
Los que me hacen vivir

(solos)
Los encuentros. Los encuentros. Los encuentros, los que me hacen vivir. Son los encuentros.
