Cuando la tarde comienza a declinar
When the evening begins to fade
Y allá en el campo el sol se esconde tras una loma
And there in the countryside, the sun hides behind a hill
Y por las calles de la ciudad
And through the streets of the city
Un mar de gente anda con prisa
A sea of people rushes by
Hemos cumplido otra jornada
We have completed another day's work
Llegó la hora del regreso al hogar
The time has come to return home
Y soy feliz porque al llegar sé que nos esperan
And I am happy because when I arrive, I know they are waiting for us
Dos horas de conciliación de la dicha y el amor
Two hours of reconciling joy and love
Donde juntos compartir la felicidad
Where we can share happiness together
De esos momentos que da la vida
In those moments that life gives us
Porque luego con la noche
Because then comes the night
Viene la superación
And with it, the breakthrough
Yo voy a la secundaria
I'm going to high school
Tú a estudiar igual que yo
You're studying just like me
Porque luego con la noche
Because then comes the night
Viene la superación
And with it, the breakthrough
Yo voy a la secundaria
I'm going to high school
Tú a estudiar igual que yo
You're studying just like me
