Canción tema del XI Festival EN BUSCA DE UNA NUEVA FLOR Si tu sed rompiendo las distancias se confunde andando con mi sed y tu aliento se alza hasta tocar el sol en busca de una nueva flor y si tu pecho vela mi descanso y mi andar desata tu canción y tu lucha se abriga en mi corazón en una sola voz: tendremos sueños que tejerle al mar la mansa estrella de la libertad y aquella flor que hay que encontrar, más allá donde el verso será la paz que crece Si tus manos vuelan con mis manos como mil gaviotas que al volar se reparten, viento, so, amor y pan seremos mil gaviotas más que vuelan sobre el mar
Spanish
If your thirst breaking the distances walking is confused with my thirst and your breath rises to touch the sun looking for a new flower and if your chest watches over my rest and my walk unleashes your song and your fight is warm in my heart in one voice: we will have dreams to weave the meek star of liberty to the sea and that flower what to find beyond where the verse will be the peace that grows If your hands fly with my hands like a thousand seagulls that when flying they share, wind, so, love and bread we will be a thousand more seagulls that fly over the sea

XI International festival of Youth and Students
This is the official theme-song single of the XI World Festival of Youth and Students (Festival Mundial de la Juventud y los Estudiantes), held in Havana in 1978 — a major Soviet-bloc-aligned international youth gathering hosted by Cuba. The "CUBA 78" disc label and the festival's flower-and-globe emblem (echoed in the title "in search of a new flower") tie the record directly to the event. Produced by EGREM/Areíto, it documents Cuban state cultural production around a flagship international political-cultural occasion.
