La joia [Cançó de reravera] [English translation]

Now, I only know how to sing so I can tell you

That there is a new world within this world

Where you find it so hard to live.

That it's well worth it,

If you have the strength inside your heart

To take that risk,

For it's always so beautiful when you attempt

To possess

Joy... That joy for which you walk down

The long road that leads

To a better world.

I am not ashamed

Of having these dreams,

And I don't get tired of making possible

What is impossible.

Because, if I can't reach that destiny

That my heart announces,

I will point out that place on the horizon

While preserving within me,

Joy... The joy of hearing all of you,

Knowing that you are going

Even further than I could have gone.

I cannot do anything about it!

And I'm still telling you

That a better world is awaiting you

Beyond the stars.

It isn't merely a dream:

It also is the urgency over the pain

Of so many people, who are dispossessed of everything...

Of everything, except

Joy... The joy of making up

A beautiful tomorrow with much more dignity

Where the sun shall rise!

Joy... The joy of making up

A beautiful tomorrow with much ore dignity

Where the sun shall rise!

Sun...

Sun...
