|
| Sólo veo las regiones que el maestro soñó

|
| Como un faro que ilumina tus noches
| Like a lighthouse that lights up your nights
|
| Solitario y seguro, aquí me quedaré

|
| Yo me quedo con todas esas cosas

|
| Mañana rectificar sin claudicar
| Tomorrow rectify without giving up
|
| Yo me quedo
| I'll stay
|
| Y te lo digo cantando
| And I tell you singing
|
| Y si tú quieres bailando también
| And if you want to dance too
|
| No me voy a poner pesado y reflexivo
| I'm not going to get heavy and reflective
|
| Cuando te diga lo que siente por aquí
| When I tell you what I feel around here
|
| Casi un pueblo entero
| Almost an entire town
|
| Lleno de obreros, de estudiantes, de mujeres
| Full of workers, students, women
|
| Que siguen siendo las más bellas | who are still the most beautiful |
