No hacen falta alas
no need for wings
Para hacer un sueño
to make a dream
Basta con las manos
enough with your hands
Basta con el pecho
enough with the chest
Basta con las piernas
enough with the legs
Y con el empeño
and with the effort
No hacen falta alas
no need for wings
Para ser más bellos
to be more beautiful
Basta el buen sentido
enough good sense
Del amor inmenso
of immense love
No hacen falta alas
no need for wings
Para alzar el vuelo
to take flight
Sí
yes
Recojo fondos para pobres
I collect funds for the poor
De amistad y de sonrisa
Of friendship and smile
Recojo cuanto haya de bien
I collect whatever is good
En lo que esconde tu camisa
in what hides your shirt
Acepto cuanto pueda ser útil

Al coro que compongo

Siempre que quieras compartir

Un sueño ancho,

Largo y hondo

Oh

Recojo el hielo a la deriva
I pick up the drift ice
De los poros congelados
From the frozen pores
Luego con buena voluntad

Y mucha miel haré un helado
And a lot of honey I will make an ice cream
No le daré, no le daré
I will not give, I will not give
Al mentiroso y al cobarde
To the liar and the coward
Repartiré, repartiré
I'll hand out, I'll hand out
Sólo al que ama

Y al que arde
and the one that burns
Oh
oh
No hacen falta alas
no need for wings
Para hacer un sueño

Basta con las manos
