Como el ave solitaria [English translation]

Like the lonely bird

I was born to sing,

the adventure is for me

like a ripen fruit

I like to taste.

Time ago I dropped moorings

with the familiar world

I've been turning into a grasshopper

because of a guitar

and love for freedom.

I like to fly low

to sing per job

to the wind, the sky and the sea.

At night to lay in the footprint

to count the stars

and see the sunrise

Like the lonely bird

I was born to sing.

Sometimes I'm like an outcast

I have to walk alone

Oh, what worths a friend

when he offers you the coat

when he shares his bread

Is almost always soliday

the soul with the friendship

because the latter is who values

what costs every hour

of constant loneliness.

I like to fly low

to sing per job

to the wind, the sky and the sea.

At night to lay in the footprint

to count the stars

and see the sunrise

Like the lonely bird

I was born to sing.

I know well that is necessary

the bransh where to make the nest.

My song in an accident

tangled in some hair

and I didn't want to let it loose.

Even the lonely bird

lets himself get caught.

In the prision of some eyes

the love locked me

and the two went singing.

I like to fly low

to sing per job

to the wind, the sky and the sea.

At night to lay in the footprint

to count the stars

and see the sunrise

Like the lonely bird

I was born to sing.
