Alma de luz, piel de marfil
Dicen que tú no eres de aquí
Alma de luz, ellos dirán
Ojos del sur, piel de alemán
Alma de luz, ellos dirán
Ojos del sur y piel de alemán

Light soul, ivory skin
They say you are not from here
Light soul, they will say
Eyes from the south, German skin
Light soul, they will say
Eyes from the south and German skin

Niño del mar, tu corazón
Quiere cantar, te callan la voz
Niño del mar, iluso serás
De fuera eres tú, “pa’ fuera” dirán
Niño del mar, iluso serás
De fuera eres tú, “pa’ fuera” dirán

Sea child, your heart
Wants to sing, they silence your voice
Sea child, you will be naive
You are from outside, “out” they will say
Sea child, you will be naive
You are from outside, “out” they will say

Qué pena, qué pena
Si no te conozco, miedo me das
¿Cuál es tu bandera?
¿Pero a mí qué más me da?

What a pity, what a pity
If I don’t know you, you frighten me
What’s your flag?
But why should II care?

Alma de luz, piel de marfil
Dicen que tú no eres de aquí
Alma de luz, ellos dirán
Ojos del sur, piel de alemán

They say you are not from here
Light soul, they will say
Southern eyes, German skin

Alma de luz, ellos dirán
Ojos del sur
Piel de alemán

Light soul, they will say
Southern eyes
German skin
