Jala una silla
Pull up a chair
Siéntate a un lado aquí
Sit down next to me here
Mira las plantas
Look at the plants
Cómo reaniman la vista alrededor
How they revive the view all around
Jala una silla
Pull up a chair
Siéntate a un lado aquí, donde pega el sol
Sit down next to me here, where the sun shines
Mira las plantas
Look at the plants
Cómo reaniman la vista alrededor
How they revive the view all around
Parece mentira
It seems unbelievable
Los pájaros vuelan
The birds are flying
Hasta mi balcón
Up to my balcony
Mira a los niños
Look at the children
Juegan con globos de cualquier color
Playing with balloons of every color
Mira a la gente
Look at the people
Compra helados de cualquier sabor
Buying ice cream of any flavor
Parece mentira
It seems unbelievable
Que haya tanta vida
That there's so much life
En ese lugar de felicidad
In that place of happiness
Parece mentira
It seems unbelievable
Que entre tanta gente en esta ciudad
That among so many people in this city
No tenga a nadie con quien compartir
Don't have anyone to share with
La vista desde mi casa
The view from my home
Este sábado
This Saturday
Al mediodía
At noon
