[English]

I know what's in your eyes just by looking

That you're tired of walking and walking

And keep on walking

Spinning around in the same place

...

I know that windows can be opened

Changing the air depends on you

It will help

It's worth it, one more time

To know it’s possible

To want it to be possible

To face your fears

To take them out

To paint your face

With the color of hope

To tempt the future

With your heart

...

It's better to get lost than never to set out

Better to dare to stop trying

Even though you see

That it's not so easy to start

I know that the impossible can be achieved

That sadness will go away someday

And so it will be

Life changes and will change

You will feel

That the soul flies

For singing once more

To know it’s possible

To want it to be possible

To face your fears

To take them out

To paint your face

With the color of hope

To tempt the future

With your heart

To know it’s possible

To want it to be possible

To face your fears

To take them out

To paint your face

With the color of hope

To tempt the future

With your heart

To know it’s possible

To want it to be possible

To face your fears

To take them out

...

To paint your face

With the color of hope

To tempt the future

With your heart

To know it’s possible

To want it to be possible

To paint your face

With the color of hope

To tempt the future

With your heart

To know it’s possible

To want it to be possible

To face your fears

To take them out

To paint your face

With the color of hope

To tempt the future

With your heart

(Know that it’s possible) You know it can be done

That you can try (Know that it’s possible)

To want it to be possible

To paint your face

With the color of hope

To tempt the future

With your heart

To know it’s possible

To want it to be possible

To face your fears

To take them out

To paint your face

With the color of hope

To tempt the future

With your heart

...

[Spanish]

Sé qué hay en tus ojos con solo mirar

Que estás cansado de andar y de andar

Y caminar

Girando siempre en un lugar

Sé que las ventanas se pueden abrir

Cambiar el aire depende de ti

Te ayudará

Vale la pena una vez más

Saber que se puede

Querer que se pueda

Quitarse los miedos

Sacarlos afuera

Pintarse la cara

Color esperanza

Tentar al futuro

Con el corazón

Es mejor perderse que nunca embarcar

Mejor tentarse a dejar de intentar

Aunque ya ves

Que no es tan fácil empezar

Sé que lo imposible se puede lograr

Que la tristeza algún día se irá

Y así será

La vida cambia y cambiará

Sentirás

Que el alma vuela

Por cantar una vez más

Saber que se puede

Querer que se pueda

Quitarse los miedos

Sacarlos afuera

Pintarse la cara

Color esperanza

Tentar al futuro

Con el corazón

Saber que se puede

Querer que se pueda

Quitarse los miedos

Sacarlos afuera

Pintarse la cara

Color esperanza

Vale más

Poder brillar

Que solo buscar

Color esperanza

Tentar al futuro

Con el corazón

Saber que se puede

Querer que se pueda

Con el corazón

Saber que se puede

Querer que se pueda
