[English]
Palm trees, sugarcane fields
The beaches of Veracruz
They set fire to the light
That I had lost in torrents
Into mineral dust
And stars I became
And the sky I discovered
Oh, it dazzles me with life
I danced so gratefully
That to God I offered my death
I danced so gratefully
That to God my death
I offered
Death, from having looked at death
Is why today I walk through life
With faith and my soul ignited
Death, from greeting death
Is why today I walk through life
With faith and my soul ignited
Death, from having looked at death
Is why today I walk through life
With faith and my soul ignited
Death, from greeting death
Is why today I cherish love
That is born in me forever
That to God I offered my death
I danced, I danced, I danced so gratefully
That to God my death
I offered
I danced, I danced, I danced, I danced so gratefully
That to God my death
I offered
To God I offered my death
