En El 87 Lyrics in English Silvina Moreno

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song En El 87 by Silvina Moreno from Spanish to English.
In '87, a toothless baby surprises her mom
She carries a sky-blue secret that even she doesn't understand, but it will make her fly
She imagines colors that don't exist
Her family of values and love dresses her, dresses her
Lovely this golden sky, I stay by my side and the sunset flies
Lifting pieces of a forgotten moment, I belong again
And I pray to that one that I know they listen to
I yearn that he takes away my anguish, anguish
Light shines strong, never go out, please
I want to have you lighting up my heart
There's no heat greater than your sun
It pierces me, it transforms me
It makes me better
I look at the riverbank turning ideas into a superpower
And with my power that I self-invented, I aim to entertain
To the dreams, singing to the moon
And to the souls that in their loneliness listen, listen
Light shines strong, never go out, please
I want to have you lighting up my heart
There's no heat greater than your sun
It pierces me, it transforms me
It makes me better
Uuh
Uuh

SONG MEANING

"En El 87" feels like opening a time-capsule from Silvina Moreno’s own birth year. The song paints a cinematic scene where a toothless baby — presumably Silvina herself — arrives carrying a mystical, sky-colored secret. Surrounded by a loving family, this child’s boundless imagination invents colors that have never been seen and quietly forges the superpower that will later become her music. Each verse is a postcard of childhood wonder: golden skies, playful sunsets, and whispered prayers asking a higher force to chase away fear.

As the track unfolds, that newborn spark grows into a guiding light that “atraviesa” — pierces through — her heart, transforming her and pushing her to share warmth with others. Silvina sings about channeling her invented power to entertain dreams, sing to the moon, and comfort lonely listeners. In short, the song is a vibrant memoir of self-discovery and creativity: a celebration of how an inner light, nurtured by family and faith, can blossom into art that helps both the artist and her audience feel they belong.
