Desde La Palma surqué los cielos
From La Palma I took to the skies
Con la ilusión de llegar a ti
With the illusion of reaching you
Soñé entre nubes con todo aquello
I dreamed among clouds with all that
De un azul para no olvidar
A blue not to forget
Vino a mi mente todas las cosas
All things came to my mind
Que me contabas abuelo de ti
What did you tell me grandfather of you
Estar tan cerca de todo aquello
Being so close to all that
De tantas cosas para vivir.
Of so many things to live.
Sentí de pronto que me envolvía
I suddenly felt myself enveloping
Un aire nuevo y una sonrisa
A new air and a smile
Pisaba el suelo que tanto amé
I stepped on the ground I loved so much
Y tan real lo que yo sentía
And so real what I felt
Era tu voz, tu mirada serena
It was your voice, your serene gaze
Tu cielo abierto me recibía
Your open sky received me
Y un olor nuevo de piel morena
And a new smell of brown skin
Apacible en el tiempo dama dormida
Peaceful in time lady asleep
Hermosa dama del Caribe
Beautiful Lady of the Caribbean
Hace la herida entre dos mares
Makes the wound between two seas
No hay poeta que no te vea y no se rinda
There is no poet who does not see you and does not surrender
A la hermosura de tu gente y de tus calles
To the beauty of your people and your streets
Adormecida y en tu letargo
Asleep and in your lethargy
Sigue soñando con el amor que te sepa dar
Keep dreaming of the love that knows how to give you
Un beso que te despierte y sentirte viva
A kiss that wakes you up and makes you feel alive
Dejando tu traje gris y poder volar
Leaving your gray suit and being able to fly
