The Wings of June is a work dedicated to the memory of the tiny June Sánchez Tolaretxipi, than two years old age left us in March of 2013 on the grounds of a cancer that was fighting with all his might. The text is part of the parting words he wrote Carlos Sanchez, his father the day she left our world flying toward the sky:
Never, never, felt so, so in love, I thought my chest was going to explode and I closed my eyes waiting for your last tic-tac.
Your heart was silent for a moment and the melody came to an end.
You flew high, very high, and almost beyond where my eyes saw you,
and left a trail of stars that bathed my soul with peace and tranquility.
And then I saw …
happy among petals fluttering love,
and then I saw …
fluttering,
dancing and laughing.
