[English]

Up!

...

In strength lies power

In the wise lies knowledge

With time, everything will come

On the day that begins today

A thousand answers you will seek

You will climb the mountain

You will reach the summit

Son of man, seek and see

Let your soul be free

Proud one day you will be

Son of man, one day you will be a man

...

There is no one to guide you

Nor a hand to give you

But with faith and understanding

You will become a man

Son of man, seek and see

Let your soul be free

Proud one day you will be

Son of man, one day you will be a man

...

Learn to teach

By teaching you will learn

Your life is with whom you

Love the most

Today everything you dream of

And in your imagination

Here it is, it's the moment

Make your dream come true

Son of man, seek and see

Let your soul be free

Proud one day you will be

Son of man, one day you will be a man

Uh

Uh, yeh-oh

Uh, yeh-oh

Uh, yeh-oh

Man is

Man is a man, that will be

...

[Spanish]

Up!

En la fuerza está el poder

En el sabio está el saber

Con el tiempo todo llegará

En el día que hoy comienza

Mil respuestas buscarás

Subirás a la montaña

La cima alcanzarás

Hijo de hombre busca y ve

Que tu alma libre esté

Orgulloso un día estarás

Hijo de hombre, un hombre un día serás

No hay nadie que te guie

Ni una mano que te dé

Mas con fe y entendimiento

En un hombre te convertirás

Hijo de hombre busca y ve

Que tu alma libre esté

Orgulloso un día estarás

Hijo de hombre, un hombre un día serás

Aprende a enseñar

Enseñando aprenderás

Tu vida está con quien tú

Amas más

Hoy todo en lo que sueñas

Y en tu imaginación

Aquí está, es el momento

Realiza tu ilusión

Hijo de hombre busca y ve

Que tu alma libre esté

Orgulloso un día estarás

Hijo de hombre, un hombre un día serás

Uh

Uh, yeh-oh

Uh, yeh-oh

Uh, yeh-oh

Hombre es

Hombre es un hombre, eso va a ser
