Sé qué hay en tus ojos con solo mirar – I know what’s in your eyes just by looking
que estás cansado de andar y de andar – that you’re tired of walking around
y caminar, girando siempre en un lugar – and going around the same place

Sé que las ventanas se pueden abrir – I know that the windows can be opened
cambiar el aire depende de ti – it’s up to you to change the air
te ayudará, vale la pena una vez más – it will help you, it’s worth it one more time

Saber que se puede, querer que se pueda – Knowing that you can, wanting it to happen
Quitarse los miedos, sacarlos afuera – Letting go of your fears, throw them out
pintarse la cara color esperanza – paint your face with the color of hope
tentar al futuro con el corazón – trying out the future with your heart

Es mejor perderse que nunca embarcar – It’s better to lose yourself than never to go aboard
mejor tentarse a dejar de intentar – better to tempt yourself than to stop trying
aunque ya ves que no es tan facil empezar – though you see that it’s not so easy to start
Sé que lo imposible se puede lograr – I know we can achieve the impossible
que la tristeza algun da se irá – that sadness will eventually go away
y asi será, la vida cambia y cambiará – and it will be this way, life changes and it will change

Sentirás que el alma vuela – You will feel that the soul flies
por cantar una vez más – by singing one more time

Saber que se puede, querer que se pueda – Knowing that you can, wanting it to happen
Quitarse los miedos, sacarlos afuera – Letting go of your fears, throw them out
pintarse la cara color esperanza – paint your face with the color of hope
tentar al futuro con el corazón – trying out the future with your heart

Saber que se puede, querer que se pueda – Knowing that you can, wanting it to happen
Quitarse los miedos, sacarlos afuera – Letting go of your fears, throw them out
pintarse la cara color esperanza – paint your face with the color of hope
tentar al futuro con el corazón – trying out the future with your heart

Vale más poder brillar – Being able to shine is more worth it
que sólo buscar ver el sol – than only trying to see the sun
