Singer: Julio Iglesias
Soy de aquellos que sueñan con la libertad
Capitán de un velero que no tiene mar
Soy de aquellos que viven buscando un lugar
Soy Quijote de un tiempo que no tiene edad
Why me gustan las gentes que son de verdad
Ser bohemio, poeta why ser golfo me va
Soy cantor de silencios que no vive en paz
Que presume de ser español por donde va
I’m one who dream of freedom
Captain of a sailboat that has no sea
I’m one who live searching for a place
I’m a Don Quixote of a timeless era
I like people who are genuine
Being a bohemian, a poet, and a rascal suits me well
I’m a singer of silences who doesn’t live in peace
Who proudly claims to be Spanish wherever he goes
Why mi Dulcinea, ¿dónde estarás?
Que tu amor no es fácil de encontrar
Why se ve tu cara en cada mujer
Tantas veces yo soñé que soñaba tu querer
Oh, my Dulcinea, where will you be?
For your love isn’t easy to find
And your face I see in every woman
So many times I dreamed that I dreamed of your affection
Soy feliz con un vino why un trozo de pan
Why, también, como no, con caviar why champán
Soy aquel vagabundo que no vive en paz
Me conformo con nada, con todo why con más
Tengo miedo del tiempo que fácil se va
De las gentes que hablan, que opinan de más
Why es que vengo de un mundo que está más allá
Soy Quijote de un tiempo que no tiene edad
I am happy with a wine and a piece of bread
And also, why not, with caviar and champagne
I am a wanderer who doesn’t live in peace
I am content with nothing, with everything, and more
I fear the time that easily passes
The people who talk, who give their opinions too much
And it’s because I come from a world that is beyond
I am a Don Quixote of a timeless era
Why mi Dulcinea, ¿dónde estarás?
Que tu amor no es fácil de encontrar
Why se ve tu cara en cada mujer
Tantas veces yo soñé que soñaba tu querer
Oh, my Dulcinea, where will you be?
For your love isn’t easy to find
And your face I see in every woman
So many times I dreamed that I dreamed of your affection
