Mil Canciones

I keep a thousand songs in a paper chest
Loves that won't come back again
How many heartbeats were recorded in my temple
I carry a song on the surface

They say it's the mountains that brighten your awakening
They say it's the breeze that comes from the sea
It's a feeling that can't be explained
That at any moment I start to sing

I sing for the life that gives me another dawn
I sing for the people who have been forgotten
I sing for the children who fill me with hope
For our planet that hurts in its soul

There it is, waiting to meet again
That hug that now manages to achieve

He grabbed my hair, carried me with the sun
Playing barefoot made me free
There was no other way but to give my heart
Today a son of a tiger was born

They say it's the mountains that brighten your awakening
They say it's the breeze that comes from the sea
It's a feeling that can't be explained
That at any moment I start to sing

I sing for the life that gives me another dawn
I sing for the people who go to the field
I sing for my team that fills me with hope
For the jersey I wear in my soul

There it is, waiting to meet again
That hug that now manages to achieve

I sing for the life that gives me another dawn
I sing for the people who have been forgotten
I sing for the children who fill me with hope
For our planet that hurts in its soul

There it is, waiting to meet again
That hug that now manages to achieve
