[English]

I miss walking around here

Seeing again the place where I grew up

Finally arriving and fulfilling my dream

Today I'll reach freedom

...

And now here, I want to find a solution

Breaking the spell is my big mission

And without darkness, the light will reign, now I will fight

It's time to face the challenge today

Time to fight for the same dream

It's time to have dignity and honor

Time to always show your great courage

...

But I must fly to the highest palace

To make sure they're free, I feel no fear

The day has come to do my duty and nothing will stop me

It's time to see my flower will conquer

Time to give freedom to everyone

Time to honor my family

Time to show who I am

I will show who I am

...

[Spanish]

Extraño es, el caminar por aquí

Ver otra vez el lugar donde crecí

Al fin llegar, y mi sueño cumplir

De hoy alcanzar libertad

Y ahora aquí, quiero dar solución

Quitar el embrujo es mi gran misión

Y sin más tinieblas la luz reinara, ahora yo voy a luchar

Es la hora de, hoy enfrentar al rival

Hora de, luchar por un mismo ideal

Es la hora de, tener dignidad y honor.

Hora de, siempre mostrar tu gran valor.

Más debo volar al palacio mayor

Lograr que sean Libres no siento temor

Que el día llego de cumplir mi deber y nada me va a detener

Es la hora de ver que mi flor vencerá.

Hora de a todos dar libertad

Hora de a mi familia honrar

Hora de demostrar quien soy yo

Voy a mostrar quien soy yo
