Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Hablemos El Mismo Idioma by Gloria Estefan from Spanish to English.

In life there are so many paths to walk

What irony that in the end they lead us to the same place

Despite the differences that we tend to look for

We breathe the same air

We wake to the same sun

The same moon lights us

We need to feel love

The same moon lights us

We need to feel love

There's so much time we've lost by arguing

Over differences that between us shouldn't exist

The customs, roots, and legacies that

Make me who I am

Are colors of a rainbow

Chords of the same rhythm

Words turn into borders

When they don't come from the heart

Let's speak the same language

And that way things will go better

Let's speak the same language

That there are so many things to fight for

Let's speak the same language

That we'll only reach united

Let's speak the same language

That it's never too late to start

Let's speak the same language

Under the flag of freedom

If we think about it, we have so much in common

And it's in our interest that the world hears us with a single voice

It's important to keep moving forward

With strength and with faith

Let's forge new paths

In unity there's great power

Proud to be Latinos

No matter where we're from, we can overcome everything

Let's speak the same language

That there are so many things to fight for

Let's speak the same language

That we'll only achieve it united

Let's speak the same language

That it's never too late to start

Let's speak the same language

Under the flag of freedom

Let's speak the same language

Give me your hand my brother

It doesn't matter where you're from

If we're all brothers, you see

Let's speak the same language

Give me your hand my brother

So that differences don't exist

Among us Hispanics

Let's speak the same language

Give me your hand my brother

In this life we've got to work

To achieve what we want to reach

Let's speak the same language

Give me your hand my brother

Words turn into borders

When they aren't spoken from the heart, you see

Let's speak the same language

Give me your hand my brother

Let's speak the same language

Give me your hand my brother

Race or religion don't matter

We're brothers at heart

Let's speak the same language

Give me your hand my brother

But what strength we Latinos have

If we stay united

Let's speak the same language

Give me your hand my brother

Let's speak the same language

Give me your hand my brother

SONG MEANING

Gloria Estefan’s vibrant anthem “Hablemos El Mismo Idioma” is a musical invitation to drop our borders—physical, cultural, and emotional—and recognize how much we already share. Backed by lively Afro-Cuban rhythms, she reminds us that we all breathe the same air, wake up under the same sun, and dream beneath the same moon. In other words, the language that truly matters is the universal one of love, respect, and empathy.

The lyrics celebrate Latin pride while urging every listener to join hands, speak from the heart, and march forward together. Differences in roots, customs, or religion become colorful “shades of a rainbow” when viewed through a lens of unity. Estefan’s rallying cry is simple yet powerful: “Hablemos el mismo idioma”—let’s speak the same language—because once we unite our voices, there is no challenge we cannot conquer.
