Una vez me entretuve con un sueño
Once I entertained myself with a dream
Lo tomé, lo solté, le di tres vueltas
I took it, let it go, gave it three spins
Lo aprendí
I learned it
Me lo puse, fui su dueño
I wore it, I was its master
Y pensé que era cosa ya resuelta
And I thought it was already settled
Y soñando que un sueño era mi traje
And dreaming that a dream was my outfit
Pretendí la canción, la poesía
I pretended the song, the poetry
Y aquel sueño aprendió, todo el mundo de mí
And that dream learned everything about me
E iba yo sin saber que él sabía
And I went on without knowing that it knew
Que sabía
That it knew
Que sabía
That I knew
Que sabía
That I knew
Y así fui
And so I went
Por la tierra, por los mares
Through the land, across the seas
Por los cielos, las noches y los días
Through the skies, the nights and the days
Los amores, los templos y los valles
The loves, the temples, and the valleys
Así fui con mi sueño que sabía
So I traveled with my dream that knew
Y aquel sueño que yo soñaba puesto
And that dream that I had, set in place
Comenzó a soñar que él me soñaba
Began to dream that it was dreaming me
Y un buen día aprendí, todo el mundo de él
And one fine day I learned, the whole world of it
Y ahora somos pareja enlazada
And now we are an entwined couple
E inventamos un vals
And we invented a waltz
Que bailamos para soñar
That we dance to dream
Sueño que bailo con mi vals
I dream that I dance with my waltz
Y el vals soñando que con su hombre bailando va
And the waltz dreaming that it dances with her man
Sueño y soy sueño
I dream and I am a dream
Soy un vals que viene y va
I am a waltz that comes and goes
Que viene y va
That comes and goes
Sueño que bailo con mi vals
I dream that I dance with my waltz
Y el vals soñando que con su hombre bailando va
And the waltz dreaming that it dances with her man
Sueño y soy sueño
I dream and I am a dream
Soy un vals que viene y va
I am a waltz that comes and goes
Que viene y va
That comes and goes
