Abre la ventana [English translation]

María*, open your window,

And let the sun shine

In every corner

Of your house.

María, look outside,

Our life has not been made

To surround it with shadows

and sadness.

María, you see,

It's not enough to be born, grow, ove,

To find happiness.

The cruelest happened,

Now your eyes are filled with light

And your hands of honey.

María...

Your laugh sprouts like the morning

Sprouts in the garden.

María.
