Todo esta cambiando en estos tiempos, todo es tan irreal
Everything is changing in these times, everything feels so unreal.
como en los sueños, hoy la dicha es tan fugaz y el amor
Like in dreams, today happiness is so fleeting and love,
que suavidad, quien se atreve a ser sentimental? hoy todo
what softness, who dares to be sentimental? Today everything
vuelve a ser superficial, todo se resuelve con dinero,
is superficial again, everything is solved with money,
nadie piensa en los demas, nadie sabe a donde va, nadie
no one thinks of others, no one knows where they're going, no one
se conoce en realidad.
truly knows themselves.
Amor y alegria, no se encuentra mucho en estos dias, no
Love and joy are hard to find these days, you cannot
se puede respirar no se puede caminar, no se puede hablar
breathe, you cannot walk, you cannot speak
con la verdad.
with the truth.
Amor y alegria es lo mas hermoso de esta vida si este
Love and joy are the most beautiful things in this life if this
mundo esta al reves lo importante es no perder la fe.
the world is upside down, what's important is not to lose faith.
(y se repite la cancion desde el inicio)
(and the song repeats from the beginning)
(Coro:)
(Chorus:)
amor... y alegriaaaa!
love... and joyyyy!
¿que esta pasando estos dias que? ee no es tan facil de encontrar.
what's happening these days, huh? it's not so easy to find.
Todo en la vida no es dinero, amor y alegria debemos buscar.
Not everything in life is money, love and joy we must seek.
no quiero cantarles lo ya cantado pero es que amarnos es
I don't want to sing you what's already been sung, but loving each other is
vital es necesario.
essential, it's necessary.
Enlacemos todos juntos nuestras manos y vivamos todos juntos
Let's link our hands together and live united
como hermanos.
like brothers.
El que vive alegre y consciente, siente una paz que solo
He who lives joyfully and aware feels a peace that only
el amor le daaa.
love can giveee.
Deja lo superficial y caminemos por esta vida humanamente
Leave the superficial behind and let’s walk through this life humanly.
