Un mundo mejor [English translation]

Time has painted the streets the same color

and you defend yourself from hunger with a smile and love.

The houses appear to look as if asking for forgiveness,

and everything begins to dance when the sun is no longer watching.

I want to hear your voice, singing of a better world.

I want to find you, smiling at life even if it does not smile at you in return.

Ref:

Tell me, girl with the sad eyes.

Remember that old ship that you so wished for?

Where you and sea spoke of liberty,

of a stairway to the moon, maybe,

of a world that will never stop us from dreaming.

The cars drag by leaving a stench,

that chokes tourists without souls drinking from their cups of rum.

A child asks if liberty is like this,

and an old habanera sounds that tells him of a tale without end.

I want to hear your voice, singing of a better world.

I want to find you, smiling at life even if it does not smile at you in return.

Ref:

Tell me, girl with the sad eyes.

Remember that old ship that you so wished for?

Where you and sea spoke of liberty,

of a stairway to the moon, maybe,

of a world that will never stop us from dreaming.

Don't say anything. Its only an angel playing to live.

Please smile again. For me.

Therefore, Tell me, girl with the sad eyes.

Remember that old ship that you so wished for?

Where you and sea spoke of liberty,

of a stairway to the moon, maybe,

of a world that will never stop us from dreaming.
