Tengo derecho a ser feliz
José Luis Rodríguez
I have the right to be happy
Who has never taken a single wrong step,
And felt like going back,
Who has never been on the edge of a white abyss,
About to jump.
Who will declare themselves free of sin,
Of never having caused any harm,
Who at midnight has not woken up,
Wanting to start, unintentionally wanting to cry.
I too, made so many mistakes,
So many times I had to suffer,
Hoping for better times to come,
I have paid a high price for living.
I have the right to be happy,
I have the right to be happy.
Who has not seen everything collapse one day,
And grow back around them,
Who has not seen leaves from a broken trunk,
Saved by the rain and the sun.
I too, kept my illusions,
Even on the verge of having to give up,
Hoping for better times to come,
I have paid a high price for living.
I have the right to be happy,
I have the right to be happy today.
I have the right to be happy,
I have the right to be happy.
