A mirar el cielo en el amanecer
To look at the sky at dawn
Alguien le enseñó cuando era un niño
Someone taught him when he was a child
A mirar la lluvia desde su cristal
To look at the rain from its glass
Y a la golondrina hacer su nido
And the swallow to make its nest
Y con la guitarra entre sus manos
And with the guitar in his hands
Hizo de canciones un camino
She made a path out of songs
Y con la mañana se marchó feliz
And with the morning she left happy
A cantar al mundo su verdad
To sing to the world its truth
Y se volvió soñador
And he became dreamy
Y quiso ser amigo de la libertad
And he wanted to be a friend of freedom
Y de la flor y del amor
And of the flower and of love
Y quiso ser poeta en la ciudad
And he wanted to be a poet in the city
Y no encontró la luz del sol
And he found no sunlight
Y mudo entre la gente se quedó
And mute among the people he remained
Y se volvió soñador
And he became dreamy
Y quiso ser amigo de la libertad
And he wanted to be a friend of freedom
Y de la flor y del amor

Y mudo entre la gente se quedó

Cuando recordaba su niñez feliz

Se le dibujaba una sonrisa

Y sobre su frente se podían ver
And on his forehead you could see
Esas ilusiones que tenía
Those illusions that he had
Por tomar de nuevo su guitarra
For taking back his guitar
Y cantar aquellas melodías
And sing those melodies
Al nacer el sol por la montaña
At sunrise over the mountain
O al morir el fuego en el hogar
Or when the fire dies in the home
Y se volvió soñador
And he became dreamy
Y quiso ser amigo de la libertad
And he wanted to be a friend of freedom
Y de la flor y del amor
And of the flower and of love
Poeta de la gente nada más

Y quiso en la colina hacer su hogar

Y se volvió soñador
And he became dreamy
Y quiso ser amigo de la libertad
