Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Plaza Del Centro by Franco de Vita from Spanish to English.
Gente que habla a mi alrededor
People talking all around me
Y niños que juegan
And children playing
Y un hombre anciano sentado en un rincón
And an old man sitting in a corner
Deja bañarse por un rayo de sol
Letting himself be bathed by a ray of sunshine
Es un día más en una plaza del centro
It's just another day in a downtown square
Un día igual que siempre en una plaza del centro
A day like any other in a downtown square
Los autos que van
Cars going by
Y un hombre hablándole a un grupo de gente
And a man speaking to a group of people
La palabra de Dios un lugar tiene el también
The word of God also has a place
En una plaza del centro
In a downtown square
Y corre la vida entre muros que palpitan
And life runs between walls that throb
Tras las rejas de una cárcel
Behind the bars of a prison
Bajo la mirada fija
Under the fixed gaze
De la estatua de un valiente
Of the statue of a brave man
El día que se torna caliente
The day that turns hot
Plaza del centro
Downtown Square
Plaza del centro
Downtown Square
Una plaza del centro
A downtown square
Con sus árboles al viento
With its trees in the wind
Una iglesia y sus bancos
A church and its pews
Un correo y las parejas que la visitan
A post office and the couples who visit it
Las que hoy se han dado cita
Those who have met today
Las que hablarán de amor
Those who will speak of love
Y corre la vida sobre mágicos granitos
And life runs over magical grains
Cuántos idiomas habrán oído los árboles y las flores
How many languages have the trees and flowers heard
Los muros ya vencidos
The walls already defeated
Y el canto enloquecido
And the frenzied song
De pájaros en la tarde
Of birds in the afternoon
Que buscan su refugio en una plaza del centro
That seek their refuge in a downtown square
Plaza del centro
Downtown Square
Plaza del centro
Downtown Square
Plaza del centro
Downtown Square
Plaza del centro
Downtown Square
Un periódico va
A newspaper flies
Transportado por el viento
Carried by the wind
Y poco a poco se van
And little by little they leave
Dejando solo su aliento
Leaving only their breath
Cansados de esperar los que se sienten solos
Tired of waiting, those who feel alone
Y corre la vida entre humo y policías
And life runs by amidst smoke and police
Mañana será otro día en una plaza del centro
Tomorrow will be another day in a downtown square
Plaza del centro
Downtown Square
Plaza del centro
Downtown Square
