En busca de un sueño
In search of a dream
Van generaciones
Generations come and go
En busca de un sueño
In search of a dream
Hermoso y rebelde
Beautiful and rebellious
En busca de un sueño
In search of a dream
Que gana y que pierde
That wins and that loses
En busca de un sueño
In search of a dream
De bella locura
Of beautiful madness
En busca de un sueño que mata
In search of a dream that kills
Y que cura
And that heals
En busca de un sueño
In search of a dream
Desatan ciclones
They unleash cyclones
En busca de un sueño cuántas
In search of a dream, how many
Ilusiones
Illusions
En busca de un sueño
In search of a dream
Transcurren los ríos
The rivers flow by
En busca de un sueño
In search of a dream
Se salta al vacío

En busca de un sueño
In search of a dream
Abraza el amante
Embrace the lover
En busca de un sueño
In search of a dream
Simula el tunante
The rogue pretends
En busca de un sueño
In search of a dream
Tallaron la piedra
They carved the stone
En busca de un sueño Dios vino
In search of a dream, God came
A la tierra
To the land
En busca de un sueño
In search of a dream
Partí con mi día
I set off with my day
En busca de un sueño que no hay
In search of a dream that doesn't exist
Todavía
Still
