Un Mundo Mejor

Time has painted the streets the same color
And you defend yourself from hunger with a smile and love.
The houses seem to be asking for forgiveness
And everything starts to dance when the sun no longer watches over.
I want to hear your voice singing in a better world.
I want to find you smiling at life if it doesn't smile at you.

Tell me, girl with sad eyes,
Do you remember that old boat you loved so much,
Where you and the sea talked about freedom,
About a ladder to the moon maybe,
About a world that never stops making us dream.

The cars crawl leaving behind a smell
That suffocates soulless tourists drinking in their rum glasses.
A child asks if freedom is like this
And an old habanera plays, telling him an endless story.
I want to hear your voice singing in a better world.
I want to find you smiling at life if it doesn't smile at you.

Tell me, girl with sad eyes,
Do you remember that old boat you loved so much,
Where you and the sea talked about freedom,
About a ladder to the moon maybe,
About a world that never stops making us dream.

Don't say anything, it's just an angel playing at living.
Smile again for me.
That's why tell me, girl with sad eyes,
Do you remember that old boat you loved so much,
Where you and the sea talked about freedom,
About a ladder to the moon maybe,
About a world that never stops making us dream.
