Lyrics to Bárbara's song: 2021 (LOOKING THROUGH THE GLASS) © Bárbara Lázaro, 2021 The streets are covered in white On the first day of a new time There is no one outside but the bird's song Sugar coat and footprints on the ground The town sleeps, no wonder why The fireworks lasted ‘til 2 am The last dinner she had on her own The freezing night before 2021 And she is looking through the glass Images of when she was young No one to hold her hand or put arms around But she will wait there for her love to come She was fifteen when they first met All these moments running in her head Sixty years have passed and the snowflakes look the same As when they chased each other in the lake And she is looking through the glass Images of when she was young No one to hold her hand or put arms around But she will wait there for her love to come And oh! When they meet again They will walk and laugh and never leave Her home warm like a summer night ‘Cause she will have her love to hold her hand And she is looking through the glass Images of when she was young No one to hold her hand or put arms around But she will wait there for her love to come ‘Til they meet again ‘Til they meet again -
