'Valiente' lyrics
I've seen whales snorting in my bathtub
Peg-leg pirate sailing in the fish tank
Dolphins and mermaids humming a rock and roll
But never anyone as brave as you
I've seen superheroes flying on their bikes
Tin soldiers dancing with puppets
Indians against cowboys in a soccer game
But never anyone as brave as you
You have the strength of a lion
You are fire, dynamite
You have courage, toughness, elf, wisdom
The cunning, the beauty of a black panther
That at night can see, what others do not see during the day
You are lead, strong, fine cinnamon, brave
Like those who go down to mine every day
Like the tightrope walker, who flies over the abyss
And bareback, no net, gravity defies
I've seen giants swinging in the sky
The Berlin wall falling in a thousand pieces to the ground
Landscapes so beautiful, that they only exist in stories
But never anyone as brave as you
I've seen Eskimos sunning in the desert
Palm oasis in Siberia in the dead of winter
Martians and astronauts at the Pluto fair
But never anyone as brave as you
The hardness of a diamond
The beauty of a nymph
You have claw, power, magic, nobility, empathy
The look of a poker champion, in sight
That in a single hand, the game is played
I love you, even if I don't get to know you
I adore you, even if I never see you again
Don't stop, move forward, always look ahead
For me and for the world you are someone important
You have the strength of a lion
You are fire, dynamite
You have courage, toughness, elf, wisdom
The cunning, the beauty of a black panther
That at night can see, what others do not see during the day
You are lead, strong, fine cinnamon, brave
Like those who go down to mine every day
Like the tightrope walker, who flies over the abyss
And bareback, no net, gravity defies
