Una calle al cielo va
A street goes to the sky
Hasta el filo de la eternidad
To the edge of eternity
Algunas noches nítidas
Some crystal-clear nights
Puede verse con total claridad
Can be seen with total clarity
Calle de los marginados
Street of the marginalized
De desamparados sin hogar
Of the homeless and forlorn
Solo pobre gente
Just poor people
Gente sin identidad
People without identity
Con los ojos bien abiertos
With eyes wide open
Para ver lo que soñaron soñar
To see what they dreamed to dream
Hartos ya de caminar
Tired of walking already
Siempre buscando un poco de dignidad
Always searching for a bit of dignity
Una calle al cielo que hace un giro
A street to the sky that makes a turn
Y vuelve para atrás
And goes back
No parecen ser ángeles
They don't seem to be angels
Ni tienen alma de santos
Nor do they have the souls of saints
Son tan solo unos hombres que
They're just some men who
No encontraron su camino como tantos
Haven't found their way like so many
Y tantos
And so many
No parecen ser ángeles
They don't seem to be angels
No lo digamos más
Let's not say it anymore
Cuantas voces hablando
So many voices talking
Comentando para no decir nunca nada
Commenting to never say anything
Casi nada
Almost nothing
Una calle al cielo va
A street leads to heaven
Si la buscas bien la encontrarás
If you search well, you'll find it
Sus piedras son cada uno de
Its stones are each of
Los mil fracasos que la hicieron crear
The thousand failures that made it grow
Una calle al cielo a un instante de la eternidad
A street to heaven, a moment from eternity
No parecen ser ángeles
They don't seem to be angels
Ni tienen alma de santos
They don't have the soul of saints
Son tan solo unos hombres que
They are just men who
No encontraron su camino como tantos
Haven't found their way like so many
Y tantos
And so many
Corazones incrédulos
Incredulous hearts
Cansados de escuchar tan solo mentiras
Tired of hearing only lies
Y mentiras
And lies
Una calle al cielo, sí
A street to heaven, yes
Pero al paraíso no llegará
But won't reach paradise
Una calle al cielo que hace un giro
A street to heaven that makes a turn
Y vuelve para atrás
And it goes back
