Uno Mas Uno Son Siete Lyrics in English Fran Perea

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Uno Mas Uno Son Siete by Fran Perea from Spanish to English.
On a platform of the station
Under the blazing sun
You were talking about a skyscraper
About the sky of New York
Come soon to see the sea
And you, send a postcard
I already knew that that day was the end
Now I have much more
Red, black, even or odd
At last luck brings an ace
And a pane of glass to look through
And a wall to hang it
Seven faces smiling in an ID photo
My tales didn't talk about stories made by chance
Nobody told me that destiny gave this opportunity
One plus one are seven, who was gonna tell me?
That it was so easy to be happy
How many years have I been here?
How many can I have left?
What's the exact price of happiness?
Who will remember me?
Who will look at you again?
Who presses the handles of chance?
A caress from yesterday
Some unsigned postcards
And that Los Burning record
Aren't things to keep
Today I smile when I remember
That you dreamed of flying
From the benches of Madrid
You can't see the sea
My tales didn't talk about stories made by chance
Nobody told me that destiny gave this opportunity
One plus one are seven, who was gonna tell me?
That it was so easy to be happy
If there was a time for me
Now it's for the six
The coffee's coming out
Once again the mess starts like every dawn
There's toast for three
Tidy the room
This family portrait deserves a song
My tales didn't talk about stories made by chance
Nobody told me that destiny gave this opportunity
One plus one are seven, who was gonna tell me?
That it was so easy to be happy
To be happy

“Uno Más Uno Son Siete” plays with numbers to tell a heart-warming story about how love and chance can multiply happiness. The narrator starts on a boiling train platform, dreaming of skyscrapers and distant skylines, yet realises that the true adventure is right beside him. A simple couple (one plus one) unexpectedly grows into a bustling family of seven, proving that destiny can surprise us far more than any carefully made plan. Memories of old songs, unsigned postcards, and Madrid park benches pop up like snapshots, reminding us how the smallest moments can snowball into a life-changing journey.

By the chorus, everyday scenes—burnt toast, messy rooms, the smell of fresh coffee—replace skyscraper dreams, and the singer discovers that this is real treasure. The track celebrates finding joy in chaos, accepting the twists of fate, and treasuring the messy, noisy, beautiful present. In short, it teaches that sometimes the easiest way to be happy is to stop counting the years or the miles, and start counting the smiles around the breakfast table.
