A desarmar tu historia antigua

Y a pedazos volverte a conquistar

Y tu nunca has conocido el mar.

Tuvieron algo que contar.

Golpeare mil puertas

I will knock on a thousand doors

Preguntando por tus dias

Asking about your days

Si responden aprendera a cantar

If they answer, I will learn to sing

Recorreremos tu alegria

Desde el cerro a tus mejillas

From the hill to your cheeks

Y de ahi saldra un verso a mi ciudad.

And from there will emerge a verse to my city.

En tus calles sentiras mi paso firme
