[English]

I accept that in life not everything is perfect

I accept that I came full of flaws

I am the effect of the noise I carry inside

I accept that the journey is not so easy

Everything, everything, is going to be alright

Everything has to be alright

Everything, everything, is going to be alright

Everything has to be alright

I accept that in life not everything is perfect

I accept that I came full of flaws

I am the effect of the noise I carry inside

I accept that the journey is not so easy

Don't cry, don't cry anymore

...

Your tears wet the sea

Don't cry, don't cry anymore

Your tears wet the sea

Everything, everything, is going to be alright

Everything has to be alright

Everything, everything, is going to be alright

Everything has to be alright

...

I look at you and I love you more

What you give me is enough

If you want, you can cry

Your tears reach the sea

Everything, everything, is going to be alright

Everything has to be alright

Everything, everything, is going to be alright

Everything has to be alright

Everything, everything, is going to be alright

Everything has to be alright

Everything, everything, is going to be alright

Everything has to be alright

...

Everything, everything, is going to be alright

Everything has to be alright

...

[Spanish]

Acepto que en la vida no todo es perfecto

Acepto que vine todo lleno de defectos

Soy efecto del ruido que traigo dentro

Acepto que no es tan fácil el trayecto

Todo, todo, va a estar bien

Todo tiene que estar bien

Todo, todo, va a estar bien

Todo tiene que estar bien

Acepto que en la vida no todo es perfecto

Acepto que vine todo lleno de defectos

Soy efecto del ruido que traigo dentro

Acepto que no es tan fácil el trayecto

No llores, no llores más

Tus lágrimas mojan el mar

No llores, no llores más

Tus lágrimas mojan el mar

Todo, todo, va a estar bien

Todo tiene que estar bien

Todo, todo, va a estar bien

Todo tiene que estar bien

Te miro y te quiero más

Me basta con lo que tú te me das

Si quieres puedes llorar

Tus lágrimas llegan al mar

Todo, todo, va a estar bien

Todo tiene que estar bien

Todo, todo, va a estar bien

Todo tiene que estar bien

Todo, todo, va a estar bien

Todo tiene que estar bien

Todo, todo, va a estar bien

Todo tiene que estar bien

Todo, todo, va a estar bien

Todo tiene que estar bien
