El cielo de la noche tiene una nueva estrella

Como un sol permanente que Dios mismo encendiera
Like a permanent sun that God himself would light
Para erigir tu nombre más allá de la ausencia
To erect your name beyond absence
Y hoy se oyen más guitarras y suenan más trompetas
And today you hear more guitars and sound more trumpets
Y hay un piano que canta tu canción siempre nueva
And there's a piano singing your ever-new song.
Sobre la misma muerte alza su voz la reina

No hay silencio en el mundo que haga callar a Celia
