Azul, pintado de azul
Blue, painted blue
Viajando entre nubes de tul
Traveling through clouds of tulle
Voy volando, volando feliz a lo alto del cielo
I'm flying, flying happily up to the high sky
Más cerca del sol
Closer to the sun
Ya la tierra más chica se hacía de un raro color
Now the earth became smaller, taking on a strange color
Más un ángel del cielo cantaba esta dulce canción
Yet an angel from heaven sang this sweet song
Soñando oh oh
Dreaming oh oh
Cantando oh oh
Singing oh oh
Azul, pintado de azul
Blue, painted blue
Viajando entre nubes de tul
Traveling through clouds of tulle
Creo que un sueño así nunca más volverá
I believe a dream like this will never return again
Yo me pintaba la cara y las manos de azul
I would paint my face and hands blue
Y de improviso el viento feliz me llevaba
And suddenly the happy wind would carry me
Hacia la luna brillando en la noche encantada
Towards the moon shining in the enchanted night
Soñando oh oh
Dreaming oh oh
Cantando oh oh
Singing oh oh
Azul, pintado de azul
Blue, painted in blue
Viajando entre nubes de tul
Traveling between clouds of tulle
Voy volando, volando feliz a lo alto del cielo
I go flying, flying happily to the heights of the sky
Más cerca del sol
Closer to the sun
Ya la tierra más chica se hacía de un raro color
Now the smallest earth turned a rare color
Más un ángel del cielo cantaba esta dulce canción
But an angel from heaven sang this sweet song
Soñando oh oh
Dreaming oh oh
Cantando oh oh
Singing oh oh
Y que bonita se ve Margarita con su traje de azul
And how pretty Margarita looks in her blue dress
Yo me pintaba la cara, la cara, la cara, la cara y las manos de azul
I painted my face, my face, my face, my face, and my hands in blue
Azul, pintado de azul
Blue, painted in blue
Iba volando, volando, soñando y volando en el cielito azul
I was flying, flying, dreaming and flying in the blue sky
Azul, pintado de azul
Blue, painted in blue
Azul, azul, azul, azul, azul, azul, azul, azul
Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue
Azul, pintado de azul
Blue, painted blue
Azul, pintado de azul
Blue, painted blue
Yo me pintaba la cara, la cara y las manos de azul
I painted my face, my face and my hands blue
Azul, pintado de azul
Blue, painted blue
Oye, mira que yo me baño en el mar de Borinquen porque es azul
Hey, look, I bathe in the sea of Borinquen because it’s blue
Azul, pintado de azul
Blue, painted blue
Yo volaba, volaba y soñaba en el cielito azul
I flew, flew and dreamed in the blue sky
Azul, pintado de azul
Blue, painted blue

About this song
Firmly fixed in the Latin music firmament as "El Sonero Mayor" (The Greatest Singer), Ismael Rivera was blessed with a gloriously husky voice, which he honed into a unique improvisational instrument.
