[English]

Ay-ay-ay-ay

...

The four walls

Of our home

Weren't enough

To withstand

We had something more inside

Curiosity was itching

The four walls

Have already fallen

Ay-ay-ay-ay

I remember the moment

We went to look for

A world beyond

Ay-ay-ay-ay

Running with the wind

Towards freedom

And what do I care?

If it was crazy, crazy, we weren't going to stop

If it was crazy, crazy, we were going to fly

Ay-ay-ay-ay

I remember the moment

We went to look for

A world beyond

Freedom

Freedom

The sky, the sky

Open it now

Now that we know

How to go fly

I never forgot what I was

It will always be a part of me

The sky, the sky

Open it now

Ay-ay-ay-ay

I remember the moment

We went to look for

A world beyond

Ay-ay-ay-ay

Running with the wind

Towards freedom

And what do I care?

If it was crazy, crazy, we weren't going to stop

If it was crazy, crazy, we were going to fly

Ay-ay-ay-ay

I remember the moment

We went to look for

A world beyond

Freedom

...

Freedom (hey!)

Oh-eh-oh

We will dance with fear, fear, oh (hey)

Oh-eh-oh

The generation of wind, of wind, oh

This has just begun

...

Ay-ay-ay-ay

I remember the moment

We went to look for

A world beyond

Ay-ay-ay-ay

Running with the wind

Towards freedom

And what do I care?

If it was crazy, crazy, we weren't going to stop (no)

If it was crazy, crazy, we were going to fly

Ay-ay-ay-ay

I remember the moment

We went to look for

A world beyond

Freedom

...

[Spanish]

Ay-ay-ay-ay

Las cuatro paredes

De nuestro hogar

No eran suficientes

Para aguantar

Llevábamos dentro algo más

Picaba la curiosidad

Las cuatro paredes

Cayeron ya

Ay-ay-ay-ay

Recuerdo el momento

Nos fuimos a buscar

Un mundo más allá

Ay-ay-ay-ay

Correr con el viento

Rumbo a la libertad

Y a mí, ¿qué más me da?

Si fue una locura, una locura, no íbamos a parar

Si fue una locura, una locura, íbamos a volar

Ay-ay-ay-ay

Recuerdo el momento

Nos fuimos a buscar

Un mundo más allá

La libertad

La libertad

El cielo, el cielo

Ábrelo ya

Que ahora sabemos

Cómo ir a volar

Yo nunca olvidé lo que fui

Siempre será parte de mí

El cielo, el cielo

Ábrelo ya

Ay-ay-ay-ay

Recuerdo el momento

Nos fuimos a buscar

Un mundo más allá

Ay-ay-ay-ay

Correr con el viento

Rumbo a la libertad

Y a mí, ¿qué más me da?

Si fue una locura, una locura, no íbamos a parar

Si fue una locura, una locura, íbamos a volar

Ay-ay-ay-ay

Recuerdo el momento

Nos fuimos a buscar

Un mundo más allá

La libertad

La libertad (¡hey!)

Oh-eh-oh

Bailaremos con el miedo, el miedo, oh (hey)

Oh-eh-oh

La generación del viento, del viento, oh

Esto acaba de empezar

Ay-ay-ay-ay

Recuerdo el momento

Nos fuimos a buscar

Un mundo más allá

Ay-ay-ay-ay

Correr con el viento

Rumbo a la libertad

Y a mí, ¿qué más me da?

Si fue una locura, una locura, no íbamos a parar (no)

Si fue una locura, una locura, íbamos a volar

Ay-ay-ay-ay

Recuerdo el momento

Nos fuimos a buscar

Un mundo más allá

La libertad
