La niebla que se posa en la mañana
The fog that settles in the morning
Las piedras de un camino en la colina
The stones of a path on the hill
El ave que se elevará
The bird that will soar
El alba que nos llegará
The dawn that will come to us
La nieve que se fundirá, corriendo al mar
The snow that will melt, rushing to the sea
La almohada aún caliente guarda vida
The pillow still warm holds life
Inciertos pasos lentos de una niña
Uncertain slow steps of a girl
Los pasos de serenidad
The steps of serenity
La mano que se extenderá
The hand that will reach out
La espera de felicidad
The wait for happiness
Por esto y por lo que vendrá
For this and for what will come
Yo canto
I sing
Tranquilamente canto
I sing calmly
La voz en fiesta y canto
The voice in celebration and I sing
La banda en fiesta y canto
The band in celebration and I sing
Corriendo al viento canto
Running with the wind, I sing
La vida entera canto
I sing for my whole life
La primavera canto
I sing for springtime
Rezando también canto
Praying as well, I sing
Alguien me escuchará
Someone will hear me
Quiero cantarle, siempre cantarle
I want to sing to her, always sing to her
El aroma de un café en la cocina
The aroma of coffee in the kitchen
La casa que se llena de alegría
The house filled with joy
El ascensor que no va, el amor a mi ciudad
The elevator that won't go, the love for my city
La gente que sonreirá, son de mi calle
The people who will smile, they're from my street
Las ramas que se cruzan hacia el cielo
The branches crossing towards the sky
Un viejo que camina en solitario
An old man walking alone
El verano que nos dejará
The summer that will leave us
El trigo que madurará
The wheat that will ripen
La mano que lo acogerá
The hand that will embrace it
Por esto y por lo que será
For this and for what will be
Yo canto
I sing
Tranquilamente canto
I sing calmly
La voz en fiesta y canto
The voice in celebration and I sing
La banda en fiesta y canto
The band in celebration and I sing
Corriendo al viento canto
Running with the wind, I sing
La vida entera canto
I sing for my whole life
La primavera canto
I sing for the spring
Rezando también canto
Praying, I also sing
Alguien me escuchará
Someone will hear me
Quiero cantarle, siempre cantarle
I want to sing to her, always sing to her
Cantarle
Sing to her
Canto, canto
I sing, I sing
Tranquilamente
Calmly
Canto, canto
I sing, I sing
La voz en fiesta y canto
The voice in celebration and I sing
La vida entera canto
I sing my whole life
Corriendo al viento canto
Running with the wind, I sing
Yo canto
I sing
La vida entera canto
I sing my whole life
Yo canto, alguien me escuchará
Yo sing, someone will hear me
Alguien me escuchará
Someone will hear me
Alguien me escuchará
Someone will hear me
