Lyrics:

[English]

I had this perfect dream

...

Un sueño me envolvió

This dream was me and you

Tal vez estás aquí

I want all the world to see

Un instinto me guiaba

A miracle sensation

My guide and inspiration

Now my dream is slowly coming true

...

The wind is a gentle breeze

(Ooh) Él me habló de ti (aah)

The bells are ringing out

They're calling

They're calling us together

Guiding us forever

Wish my dream would never go away

...

Barcelona, it was the first time that we met

Barcelona, how can I forget?

The moment that you stepped

Into the room you took my breath away (Aah)

(Barcelona) La musica vibró

(Barcelona) Y ella nos unió

And if God willing we will meet again, someday

...

Let the songs begin

Déjalo nacer

Let the music play (aah)

Make the voices sing

Nace un gran amor

Start the celebration

Ven a mí

And cry

Grita

Come alive

Vive

And shake the foundations from the skies

Ah, ah, shaking all our lives

(Barcelona) Such a beautiful horizon

(Barcelona) Like a jewel in the sun

Por ti seré gaviota de tu bella mar

(Barcelona) Suenan las campanas

...

(Barcelona) Abre tus puertas al mundo

If God is willing (Aah)

If God is willing

If God is willing

Friends until the end

(Viva) Aah

Barcelona
