Esta calle es el hogar que añoro yo
This street is the home I long for
Y mi techo es este cielo espléndido
And my roof is this splendid sky
Como un ángel puedo ir volando y yo
Like an angel, I can fly away
Jugaría junto a él sobre la luna
I would play with him on the moon
Esta calle de favelas y de humildad
This street of favelas and humility
Donde habita la probreza más total
Where total poverty resides
Es la escuela de los niños como yo
Is the school for children like me
La maestra de su hambre y su dolor, uh, uh
The teacher of their hunger and pain, uh, uh
Viviré
I will live
Este imposible vivir
This impossible life
Es querer quemar el mar con el sol
It's wanting to burn the sea with the sun
Es como un mundo inhóspito, un mal film
It's like a hostile world, a bad movie
Que un día olvido yo
That one day I forget
Esta calle de tristeza y escasez
This street of sadness and scarcity
Las mamás de cuentos de hadas no se ven
Fairy tale moms are nowhere to be seen
Pero puedo ver al Dios de la ciudad
But I can see the God of the city
Porque es él quien me dará la libertad
Because it's He who will give me freedom
Viviré
I will live
Este jugar a perder
This game of losing
Escapar de la prision de los "no"
Escaping from the prison of 'no'
Oler un pegamento para volar
Smell the glue to fly
Es dejarse ir y creer
It's letting go and believing
Que se logra así vivir
That this is how you manage to live
Pero en mí busco yo
But in me, I search
Esa fe que me faltó
For that faith that I lacked
Y en mi corazón renacerá el amor
And in my heart love will be reborn
Viviré
I will live
Aunque es difícil aquí
Even though it's hard here
Es gritar al cielo "Kyrie Eleison"
It's shouting to the sky 'Kyrie Eleison'
Mas si veo que el milagro no logro yo
But if I see that I cannot achieve the miracle
No me rendiré nunca, no
I will never give up, no
Mis cadenas romperé
I will break my chains
Viviré
I will live
Sé que es posible vivir
I know it's possible to live
Tú tendrás piedad de mi "Kyrie Eleison"
You will have mercy on me 'Kyrie Eleison'
Señor, ese camino descubriré
Lord, that path I will uncover
Lo andaré junto a ti, uh, uh, uh
I will walk it alongside you, uh, uh, uh
Y viviré, uh, oh, oh, oh
And I will live, uh, oh, oh, oh
Yo viviré
I will live
