Yo canto [English translation]

I sing to life,

to people, I sing to love,

to a river that springs

to a child, to a flower.

I sing to these people

who fight for an illusion.

I sing to recall the time

that is gone for ever.

I miss love that

I searched for so long,

I’m singing to it

and, unknowingly, to you.

La, la ,la, la, la,

La, la, la, la, la,

La, la, la, la, la,

and, unknowingly, to you.

Maybe you don’t know

that I sing thinking of your love,

maybe you don’t understand

how this song was born.

Sometimes I feel very lonely

and I would like to cry.

And then I realize that

it was I whom she wanted to sing.

I’m missing love that

I searched for so long,

I’m singing to it

and, unknowingly, to you.

La, la ,la, la, la,

La, la, la, la, la,

La, la, la, la, la,

and, unknowingly, to you.

I sing to life,

hey people, I sing to love,

to those memories

that are gone for ever!
