Hoy tuve un sueño, parecía cierto;
Today I had a dream, it seemed real;
Más de mil veces lo he soñado al menos.
I've dreamed it more than a thousand times at least.
He visto mucha gente que llegaba,
I've seen many people arriving,
Siempre más siempre más,
Always more, always more,
Una marea humana.
A human tide.
He visto un águila que junto a un cóndor
I've seen an eagle that with a condor
Alzaba el vuelo hacia un azul profundo,
Soared into a deep blue sky,
La gente en ese instante aplaudía;
The crowd was applauding in that moment;
Y yo allí, y yo allí
And I there, and I there
Como en otro mundo.
As if in another world.
Oh linda y tú me dices que
Oh beautiful, and you tell me that
Debo tener los pies sobre la tierra.
I must keep my feet on the ground.
Oh linda, un sueño sólo es;
Oh beautiful, a dream is only;
Como batir las alas nos libera
Like flapping wings, it sets us free
Y nos eleva así
And lifts us up like this
Y nos eleva así.
And lifts us up like this.
Volaba el águila unida al cóndor,
The eagle soared united with the condor,
Volaba el norte unido al sur del mundo.
Flying north united with the south of the world.
Quedaba claro su significado;
Its meaning was clear;
Y yo así, y yo así
And I like this, and I like this.
Me fui entusiasmando.
I left feeling excited.
Oh linda, tenemos que creer,
Oh beautiful, we must believe,
Alguna cosa inesperada aquí
Something unexpected here
Podría suceder.
Could happen.
Hace falta, hace falta tiempo,
We need, we need time,
Aunque algo se mueve ya;
Although something is already moving;
Nacerá un nuevo pensamiento
A new thought will be born
Bajo el signo del cambio será.
Under the sign of change it will be.
Hace falta, hace falta tiempo;
We need, we need time;
Pero un día alguien llegará
But one day someone will arrive.
A quien busca un cielo abierto,
To those who seek an open sky,
A quien ama la libertad
To those who love freedom,
A quien ama la libertad, la libertad.
To those who love freedom, freedom.
Oh linda y tú me dices que
Oh beautiful one, and you tell me that
Debo tener los pies sobre la tierra.
I should keep my feet on the ground.
Oh linda, un sueño sólo es,
Oh beautiful one, a dream is only,
Como batir las alas nos libera
Like fluttering our wings sets us free
Y nos eleva así.
And lifts us up like this.
Hace falta, hace falta tiempo,
We need, we need time,
Aunque algo se mueve ya.
Even though something is already moving.
Nacerá un nuevo pensamiento,
A new thought will be born,
Bajo el signo del cambio será.
Under the sign of change it will be.
Hace falta, hace falta tiempo,
Time is needed, time is needed,
Pero un día alguien llegará
But one day someone will arrive
A quien busca un cielo abierto,
For those who seek an open sky,
A quien ama la libertad
For those who love freedom,
A quien ama la libertad, la libertad.
For those who love freedom, freedom.
Hoy tuve un sueño, parecía cierto;

Más de mil veces lo he soñado al menos,
I've dreamed it at least a thousand times,
Volaba el águila unida al cóndor,
The eagle soared alongside the condor,
Volaba el norte unido al sur del mundo
It flew the north united with the south of the world
