Hablemos El Mismo Idioma Lyrics in English Gloria Estefan

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.
