Eres fuego de amor
Luz del sol, volcán y tierra
Por donde pasas, dejas huella
Mujer, tú naciste para querer
Has luchado por volver
A tu tierra y con tu gente
You are fire of love
Sun’s light, volcano and earth
Wherever you go, you leave a mark
Woman, you were born to love
Fought to return
To your land and with your people
Has vuelto Melina
Alza tus manos hacia Dios
Que Él escuche tu voz
La-ra-rai-ra-ra-ra

You’ve returned, Melina
Your eyes show the pain
And your soul, the love

La huella de tu canto echo raíces, Melina
Y vuelven a reír tus ojos grises, Melina
La-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-rai-ra-ra-ra
Your singing leaves a lasting mark, Melina
And your gray eyes laugh again, Melina

Tu vida y tu razón es tu país
Donde el mar se hizo gris
Donde el llanto, ahora es canto

Where the sea turned gray
Where crying is now singing
