Hoy le quiero hablar
Al niño que ya no me escucha
Que vivía en mí
Y dejé marchar
De forma absurda

Today I want to talk
To the kid who no longer listens to me
Who lived inside of me
And I let go
In a foolish way

Y volé, volé, volé
Sin mirar atrás
Y volé, volé, volé
Sin saber volar
Y volé

And I flew, flew, flew
Without looking back
And I flew, flew, flew
Without knowing how to fly
And I flew

Hoy nació una luz
Dentro de mí
Borró mis dudas
Hoy cuando te vi
Nació un clavel
¿Por qué no suma?

Today a light was born
Inside of me
It erased my doubts
Today when I saw you
A carnation was born
Why doesn’t it add up?

Hoy nació una luz
Dentro de mí
Borró mis dudas
Hoy cuando te vi
Nació un clavel
¿Por qué no suma?

Today a light was born
Inside of me
It erased my doubts
Today when I saw you
A carnation was born
Why doesn’t it add up

Yo lo sé, lo sé, lo sé
Que en la vida me faltaba
Solo el eco de la voz
Que Alejandro me gritaba

I know, I know, I know
That in life I lacked
Just the echo of the voice
That Alejandro shouted at me

Y volé, volé, volé
Sin mirar atrás
Y volé, volé, volé
Hacia mi libertad
Y volé, volé, volé
Sin saber volar
Y volé

And I flew, I flew, I flew
Without looking back
And I flew, I flew, I flew
Towards my freedom
And I flew, I flew, I flew
Without knowing how to fly
And I flew

Yo lo sé, lo sé, lo sé
Que en la vida me faltaba
Solo el eco de la voz
Que Alejandro me gritaba

I know, I know, I know,
That in life I lacked
Just the echo of the voice
That Alejandro shouted at me

Yo lo sé, lo sé, lo sé
Que en la vida me faltaba

I know, I know, I know,
That in life I lacked

Y volé, volé, volé
Sin mirar atrás
Y volé, volé, volé
Hacia mi libertad
Y volé, volé, volé
Sin mirar atrás
Y volé, volé, volé
Sin mirar atrás
Y volé, volé, volé
Hacia mi libertad
Y volé, volé, volé
Sin saber volar
Y volé

And I flew, I flew, I flew
Without looking back
And I flew, I flew, I flew
Towards my freedom
And I flew, I flew, I flew
Without looking back
And I flew, I flew, I flew
Towards my freedom
And I flew, I flew, I flew
Without knowing how to fly
And I flew
