Me devora esta situación
This situation devours me
Me deplora tanta incomprensión
So much misunderstanding troubles me
Me acalora cada imposición violenta
Each violent imposition warms me up
Que posterga siempre mi ilusión sedienta
That always postpones my thirsty dream
No hay idioma para la verdad
There is no language for the truth
No hay aroma como la amistad
There is no scent like friendship
Qué paloma sobre mi ciudad planea
What dove glides over my city
Y se asoma para que mi edad la crea
And peeks in so my age believes it
Se demora el trillo que va al cielo
The path to heaven is delayed
Se demora el día de mi vuelo
The day of my flight is delayed
Y yo me impaciento
And I grow impatient
Y me sueño al viento
And I dream into the wind
Se demora el pájaro cantor
The singing bird is delayed
Se demora el verdadero amor
The true love is delayed
Se demora, se demora
It's delayed, it's delayed
Pero no olvidaré que hay aurora
But I won't forget that there is dawn
Se demora el pájaro cantor
The singing bird is delayed
Se demora el verdadero amor
The true love is delayed
Se demora, se demora
It's delayed, it's delayed
Pero no olvidaré que hay aurora
But I won't forget that there is dawn
Me devora, me deplora
It devours me, it laments me
Me acalora, se demora
It heats me up, it takes its time
Se demora, se demora
It takes its time, it takes its time
Mas hay aurora, mas hay
But there's dawn, but there is
Me devora, me deplora (me deplora)
It devours me, it laments me (it laments me)
Me acalora (me acalora), se demora (se demora)
It heats me up (it heats me up), it takes its time (it takes its time)
Se demora, se demora
It takes its time, it takes its time
Mas hay aurora, mas hay
But there's dawn, but there is
