Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Every day, in every place

New people keep on growing

Every day, every moment

With love, they keep on joining

Through sorrows and through joys

They spend so many days together

They follow their own path

Awaiting their destiny

Oh, people!

How much you love, how much you feel

You give life and never deceive

And your light is the truth

Oh, people!

How you give your springs

With love, you fill life

Your hope is reality

Every day, in every place

New people keep on growing

Every day, every moment

With love

They keep on joining

Through sorrows and through joys

They spend so many days together

They follow their own path

Awaiting their destiny

Oh, people!

How much you love, how much you feel

You give life and never deceive

And your light is the truth

Oh, people!

How you give your springs

With love, you fill life

Your hope is reality

...

Cada día en todas partes

Nueva gente va creciendo

Cada día, cada instante

Con amor se van uniendo

Con tristezas y alegrías

Pasan juntos muchos días

Van siguiendo su camino

Esperando su destino

Cuánto amas, cuánto sientes

Das la vida y nunca mientes

Y su luz es la verdad

¡Oh, gente!

Con amor la vida llenas

Tu esperanza es realidad

Cada día en todas partes

Nueva gente va creciendo

Cada día, cada instante

Con amor

Se van uniendo

Con tristezas y alegrías

Pasan juntos muchos días

Van siguiendo su camino

Esperando su destino

Das la vida y nunca mientes

Y tu luz es la verdad

¡Oh, gente!

Cómo entregas primaveras

Con amor la vida llenas
