Chapter 3: A Dash Of Love (Julieta's Song)
Seal a wound, heal a bruise, fix a bone
That's my gift, and it is mine alone
Ever since I was five, a toddler, a babe
I've taken pride in the food I've made
But my food couldn't ease Bruno's fears
It couldn't dry my hermana's tears
It couldn't sooth Camilo's nightmares
Or help to cover Dolores' ears
Ever since I was five, a toddler, a babe
I've taken pride in the food that I've made
But it can only do so much on its own
You need a dash of love to run a home
I held my hermano tight
Helped Pepa bring the light
Sang to Camilo all night
Told Dolores it would be alright
Let me kiss away the tears
And chase out all your fears
Let me hold you close, my dear
Know your Mamí is right here
My food can work a miracle
It truly is a precious Gift
A broken leg can walk again
And not one bruise will be left
But there are things my food cannot do
Things hidden deep inside of you
Over the years, I've learned what to do
I whisper things, so soft and true
I cannot cure your eyes, mija
But please let me try to cure your heart
I cannot stop the bees, mija
But I can stop you from coming apart
I'll kiss your cheek, wipe your eyes
Make you feel all warm inside
For some things, my food's not enough
For those things, I use a dash of love
