Sonrisa [English translation]

I light candles up in the wee hours of the morning.

I keep going back and forth on my pillow.

Looking at the ceiling, I get carried away to another reality.

And I watch the sun coming through my window,

it clears my mind and renews my want.

I look at the mirror and wonder what awaits me out there.

And I feel everything so shiny and so magnetic.

Nothing and no one can bring me down today.

May the ground tremble 'cause I'm coming

full of confidence and with no watch.

I have a smile to give you.

I have a thousand love letters

and I have all the time I wasted without looking at the sun.

I have a thousand stories I want to tell you

hidden in my voice.

I don't want to leave anything unfelt, I already know who I am.

And I go out on a stroll amidst the people

and I play and imagine where they come from,

and I fall in love with every corner

letting my heart soar.

And I stretch the city while looking ahead.

This morning the world is different.

I discover so many things I didn't see 'cause I didn't love myself.

And I feel everything so shiny and so magnetic.

Nothing and no one can bring me down today.

May the ground tremble 'cause I'm coming

full of confidence and with no watch.

I have a smile to give you.

I have a thousand love letters

and I have all the time I wasted without looking at the sun.

I have a thousand stories I want to tell you

hidden in my voice.

I don't want to leave anything unfelt, I already know who I am.

I think the sun is coming now

and I breathe the morning in.

I untied the bandages covering my eyes.

I don't want my hurry

to force me to do nothing.

At last, the rain is touching me.

I have a smile to give you.

I have a thousand love letters

and I have all the time I wasted

without looking at the sun.

I have a thousand stories I want to tell you

hidden in my voice.

I don't want to leave anything unfelt, I already know who I am.
