[English]

And the dawn becomes more intimate each time,

I could talk to you about the moon but I prefer you to look at it,

I could talk to you about love but I prefer you to feel it.

I could talk to you about love but I prefer you to feel it,

talk to you about the truth but I prefer you to seek it,

I could talk to you about freedom but I prefer you to enjoy it,

talk to you about peace.

I could talk to you about hate but I prefer you to ignore it,

I could talk to you about friendship but I prefer to offer it to you,

I could talk to you about the truth but I prefer you to seek it,

I could talk to you about life but I prefer you to live it.

I could talk to you about love but I prefer you to feel it,

I could talk to you about the truth but I prefer you to seek it,

I could talk to you about freedom but I prefer you to enjoy it,

talk to you about peace.

I could talk to you about freedom but I prefer you to enjoy it,

talk to you about peace but I prefer you to dream it.

I could talk to you about love but I prefer you to feel it,

talk to you about the truth but I prefer you to seek it,

I could talk to you about freedom but I prefer you to enjoy it,

talk to you about peace.

Y la madrugada se vuelve cada vez mas intima,

podria hablarte de la luna pero prefiero que la mires,

podria hablarte del amor pero prefiero que lo sientas.

hablarte de la verdad pero prefiero que la busques,

podria hablarte de la libertad pero prefiero que la gozes,

hablarte de la paz.

Podria hablarte del odio pero prefiero que lo ignores,

podria hablarte de la amistad pero prefiero ofrecertela,

podria hablarte de la verdad pero prefiero que la busques,

podria hablarte de la vida pero prefiero que la vivas.

Podria hablarte del amor pero prefiero que lo sientas,

podria hablarte de la verdad pero prefiero que la busques,

podria hablarte de la libertad pero prefiero que la gozes,

hablarte de la paz.

Podria hablarte la libertad pero prefiero que la gozes,

hablarte de la paz pero prefiero que la sueñes.

hablarte de la verdad pero prefiero que la busques,

podria hablarte de la libertad pero prefiero que la gozes,
