Te voy a hacer una casa en el aire
I'm going to build you a house in the air
Solamente pa' que vivas tú
Just so you can live there
Después le pongo un letrero bien grande
Then I'll put up a big sign
De nubes blancas que diga Adaluz.(bis)
With white clouds that say Adaluz. (repeat)
Cuando Adaluz sea una señorita
When Adaluz becomes a young lady
Y alguno le quiera hablar de amor
And someone wants to talk to her about love
El tipo tiene que ser aviador
The guy has to be a pilot
Para que pueda hacerle una visita(bis)
So he can come to visit her. (repeat)
Por que el que no vuela no sube
Because those who don't fly don't rise
A ver a Adaluz en las nubes
To see Adaluz in the clouds
Porque el que no vuela no llega allá
Because those who don't fly can't get there
A ver a Adaluz en la inmensidad.
To see Adaluz in vastness.
Voy a hacer mi casa en el aire
I'm going to build my house in the air
Pa'que no te moleste nadie
So that no one can bother you
Ponte a pensar cómo será e' bonito
Just think about how beautiful it will be
Vivir arriba todo el mundo
To live up there with everyone
Allá en las nubes con los angelitos
Up in the clouds with the little angels
Sin que te pueda molestar ninguno (bis)
Without anyone being able to bother you. (repeat)
Si te preguntan como se sube, decirles
If they ask you how to get up there, tell them
Que muchos se han perdido
That many have got lost
Para ir al cielo creo que no hay camino
I believe there's no path to go to heaven
Nosotros dos iremos en una nube (bis)
We two will go in a cloud. (repeat)
Como esa casa no tiene cimientos
Since that house has no foundations
En el sistema que he inventado yo
In the system that I've invented
Me la sostienen en el firmamento
It's held up in the sky
Los angelitos que le pido a Dios (bis)
By the little angels I ask God for. (repeat)
Voy a explicar cuál es el motivo
I'm going to explain what the reason is
De hacer esa casa en el aire
For making that house in the air
La única forma de vivir tranquilo
It's the only way to live in peace
Porque el camino no lo sabe.(bis)
Because the path is unknown. (repeat)
Porque el que no vuela no sube
Because those who don't fly don't rise
A ver a Adaluz en las nubes
To see Adaluz in the clouds
Te voy a hacer tu casa en el aire
I'm going to make your house in the air
Pa' que no te moleste nadie
So no one can bother you
