Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Oye Mi Canto by Gloria Estefan from Spanish to English.
Libre libre para expresar
Free, free to express
Lo que siento en el corazón
What I feel in the heart
No tengo que callar
I don't have to keep quiet
Tienes esa libertad también
You have that freedom too
Que es difícil de compartir
That is hard to share
Y tú lo sabes bien
And you know it well
Hay que buscar la solución
We have to find the solution
En vez de decir adiós
Instead of saying goodbye
Alguien tiene que escuchar
Someone has to listen
Oye este canto que ya va a empezar
Listen to this song that is about to start
Pronto los años pasarán
Soon the years will pass
Y no quiero un día despertar
And I don't want one day to wake up
Y ver que es tarde ya
And see that it's already late
Algo algo tiene que pasar
Something, something has to happen
Si miramos alrededor
If we look around
Está por comenzar
It's about to begin
Hablamos de amor palabra común
We talk about love, a common word
Y no lo ofrecemos nunca
And we never offer it
Alguien tiene que escuchar
Someone has to listen
Oye este canto que ya va a empezar
Listen to this song that is about to start
Someday it'll be alright
Someday it'll be alright
Changes happen overnight
Changes happen overnight
Oye mi canto
Listen to my song
Creo en el amor pero sin condiciones
I believe in love but without conditions
Y en ayudarnos sin tener otras razones
And in helping each other without having other reasons
Los celos y el odio son ya tradiciones
Jealousy and hate are already traditions
Hay que dejarlas atrás, no buscar explicaciones
We have to leave them behind, not look for explanations
Oye mi canto
Listen to my song
Oye, oye, oye mi canto
Listen, listen, listen to my song
Oyelo, oyelo, oye mi canto
Hear it, hear it, listen to my song
Y me tiene que oir
And you have to hear me
Oye mi canto
Listen to my song
Oyelo, oyelo, oye mi canto
Hear it, hear it, listen to my song
Oye mi canto
Listen to my song
Oye mi canción es de corazón
Listen my song is from the heart
Oye mi canto
Listen to my song
Oye mi canto
Listen to my song
Oye, oye, oye mi canto
Listen, listen, listen to my song
Oye mi canto
Listen to my song
Oye mi canto
Listen to my song
