Este domingo es especial domingo
This Sunday is a special Sunday
La vida lo colmó de actividad
Life has filled him with activity
Hoy todos los relojes sonaron a las cinco
Today all the clocks struck five
La paja es un trajín que viene y va
The hustle is a rush that comes and goes
Hay sorbos de café en la madrugada
There are sips of coffee in the early morning
Y toses de motores a las seis
And coughing of engines at six
Hay risas y pañuelos antes de la mañana
There are laughter and handkerchiefs before morning
Hay voluntad de hacer amanecer
There’s a will to make the dawn arrive
Domingo
Sunday
Qué buen pretexto das para cantarte
What a good excuse you give me to sing to you
Todo ha comenzado a saludarme
Everything has begun to greet me
Y parece como si la tierra fértil me esperase
And it feels like the fertile earth is waiting for me
Oh, domingo
Oh, Sunday
Domingo
Sunday
Taller donde el sol puso residencia
Workshop where the sun made its home
Amor que sigue haciendo de herramienta
Love that keeps working as a tool
Y ensancha las ventanas y las puertas
And widens the windows and the doors
Y las puertas
And the doors
Domingo
Sunday
Es como si no me quedaran penas
It's like I have no sorrows left
Como si fuera siempre primavera
As if it were always spring
Como si la sed humana no supiese de fronteras
As if human thirst knew no borders
Oh, domingo
Oh, Sunday
Domingo
Sunday
Verás crecer la vida de mis manos
You'll see the life grow from my hands
Cuando acaricie el sueño que yo amo
When I caress the dream that I love
Y el tiempo sea un domingo enamorado
And time is a beloved Sunday
Enamorado, domingo
In love, Sunday
Oh, domingo
Oh, Sunday

Oh, Sunday
Domingo, domingo, domingo
