Dile a la mañana que se acerca mi sueño
Tell the morning that my dream is near
Que lo que se espera con paciencia se logra

Nueve horas a París viajé sin saberlo
I traveled nine hours to Paris without knowing it
Y crucé por Rusia con escala en tu boca
And I crossed through Russia with a stop at your mouth
Yo canté tu bachata aquí en Fukuoka
I sang your bachata here in Fukuoka
Tu bachata en Fukuoka
Your bachata in Fukuoka
Y un atardecer pintó de canvas el cielo
And a sunset painted the sky like a canvas
Caminé la playa de Momochi, mi anhelo
I walked the beach of Momochi, my desire
Y se me escapó una sonrisa del alma
And a smile escaped from the soul
Aquí me enseñó arigatō gozaimasu

Yo canté tu bachata aquí en Fukuoka

Pa bailar contigo (pa bailar)

Se me alegra la nota

Una bachata en Fukuoka

Una bachata en Fukuoka (pa soñar contigo)

En el mar, las gaviotas

Con tu piel de abrigo (quiero)

Viví bachata en Fukuoka

Y llegó la hora de partir y decir sayōnara
And the time has come to leave and say sayōnara
Con pocas ganas

Y una palomita se posó en mi ventana
And a little dove landed on my window
Konnichiwa, ohayō gozaimasu
Pa bailar contigo (pa bailar)
To dance with you (to dance)
Se me alegra la nota

Sueños de arena en las olas

Besos me daba tu boca

Tengo estrellas y rosas

Niña cantando en Fukuoka
