Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Oye Mi Canto (Spanish Version) 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 my heart
No tengo que callar
I don't have to be silent
Tienes, esa libertad también
You have that freedom too
Que es difícil de compartir
that is difficult 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
Hear this song that is about to begin
Pronto los años pasarán
Soon the years will pass
Y no quiero un día despertar
And I don't want to wake up one day
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
Hear this song that is about to begin
Someday it'll be alright
Someday it'll be alright
Changes happen overnight
Changes happen overnight
Pero que oyelo, oye mi canto
But listen to it, listen to my song
(Oye mi canto)
(hear my singing)
Creo en el amor pero sin condiciones
I believe in love but without conditions
(Oye mi canto)
(hear my singing)
Y en ayudarnos sin tener otras razones
And in helping us without having other reasons
(Oye mi canto)
(hear my singing)
Los celos y el odio son ya tradiciones
Jealousy and hatred are already traditions
(Oye mi canto)
(hear my singing)
Hay que dejarlas atrás
We have to leave them behind
No buscar explicaciones
Don't look for explanations
(Oye mi canto)
(hear my singing)
Oye, oye, oye mi canto
Hey, hey, hear my song
(Oye mi canto)
(hear my singing)
Óyelo, óyelo
Hear it, hear it
(Oye mi canto)
(hear my singing)
Que me tiene que oír, oír este canto
You have to hear me, hear this song
(Oye mi canto)
(hear my singing)
Óyelo, oye mi canto
Hear it, hear my song
(Oye mi canto)
(hear my singing)
Oye mi canción es del corazón
Hey my song is from the heart
(Oye mi canto)
(hear my singing)
Oye, oye mi canto
Hey, hear my song
