Si nos dejan
If they let us
Nos vamos a querer toda la vida
We will love each other for a lifetime
Si nos dejan

Nos vamos a vivir a un mundo nuevo

Yo creo podemos ver

El nuevo amanecer de un nuevo día
The new dawn of a new day
Yo pienso que tú y yo

Podemos ser felices, todavía

Si nos dejan
If they let us
Buscamos un rincón cerca del cielo
We'll find a corner near the sky
Si nos dejan
If they let us
Hacemos con las nubes terciopelo
We’ll make velvet with the clouds
Y ahí, juntitos los dos
And there, just the two of us
Cerquita de Dios, será lo que soñamos
Close to God, it will be what we dreamed
Si nos dejan
If they let us
Te llevo de la mano corazón y allí nos vamos
I’ll take you by the hand, sweetheart, and there we go
Si nos dejan
If they let us
Buscamos un rincón cerca del cielo
We’ll find a little corner near the sky
Si nos dejan
If they let us
Hacemos con las nubes terciopelo
We’ll make velvet with the clouds
Y ahí, juntitos los dos
And there, together the two of us
Cerquita de Dios, será lo que soñamos
Close to God, it will be what we dream of
Si nos dejan
If they let us
Te llevo de la mano corazón y allí nos vamos
I'll take you by the hand, my love, and off we go
Si nos dejan
If they let us
De todo lo demás, nos olvidamos
We'll forget everything else
Si nos dejan
If they let us
