Verse 1
El tiempo ha pintado las calles del mismo color
Time has painted the streets the same color
Y tú te defiendes del hambre con una sonrisa y amor
And you defend yourself from hunger with a smile and love
Las casas parecen que miran pidiendo perdón
The houses seem to be looking for forgiveness
Y todo comienza a bailar cuando ya no vigila el sol
And everything begins to dance when the sun no longer watches
Chorus 1
Quiero escuchar tu voz
I want to hear your voice
Cantando en un mundo mejor
Singing in a better world
Quiero encontrarte a ti
I want to find you
Sonriendo a la vida si no te sonríe ella a ti
Smiling at life if she does not smile at you
Dime, niña de ojos tristes
Tell me sad-eyed girl
Recuerdas aquel viejo barco que tanto quisiste
Do you remember that old ship that you wanted so much
Donde tú y el mar hablabais de libertad
Where you and the sea spoke of freedom
De una escalera a la luna quizá
From a ladder to the moon maybe
De un mundo que no deje nunca de hacernos soñar
Of a world that never stops making us dream
Verse 2
Los coches se arrastran dejando detrás un olor
Cars crawl leaving behind a smell
Que ahoga a turistas sin alma bebiendo en sus vasos de ron
That drowns soulless tourists drinking from their glasses of rum
Un niño pregunta si la libertad es así

Y suena una vieja habanera que le cuenta un cuento sin fin
And an old habanera sounds that tells an endless story

Quiero escuchar tu voz

Cantando en un mundo mejor

Quiero encontrarte a ti

Donde tú y el mar hablabais de libertad
Where you and the sea spoke of freedom
De una escalera a la luna quizá

De un mundo que no deje nunca de hacernos soñar

No digas nada
Do not say anything
Solo es un ángel jugando a vivir

Vuelva a sonreír por mí
Smile for me again

Por eso, dime, niña de ojos tristes
So tell me, girl with sad eyes
Recuerdas aquel viejo barco que tanto quisiste

De una escalera a la luna quizá
