Ayer se fue 00:18
Tomó sus cosas y se puso a navegar 00:24
Una camisa, un pantalón vaquero 00:28
Y una canción 00:33
¿Dónde irá? ¿Dónde irá? 00:35
Se despidió 00:40
Y decidió batirse en duelo con el mar 00:45
Y recorrer el mundo en su velero 00:49
Y navegar, nai na nai, navegar 00:53
Y se marchó 00:57

Y a su barco le llamó, Libertad 01:03
Y en el cielo descubrió gaviotas 01:08
Y pintó estelas en el mar 01:11

Su corazón 01:44

Buscó una forma diferente de vivir 01:49
Pero las olas le gritaron, Vete 01:53
Con los demás, nai na nai, con los demás 01:58
Y se durmió 02:04
Y la noche le gritó, ¿Dónde vas? 02:07
Y en sus sueños dibujó gaviotas 02:12
Y pensó, Hoy debo regresar 02:17
Y regresó 02:22
Y una voz le preguntó, ¿Cómo estás? 02:26
Y al mirarla descubrió unos ojos 02:30
Nai na nai, azules como el mar 02:36
Y regresó 02:40
02:46
Y una voz le preguntó, ¿Cómo estás? 02:53
Y al mirarla descubrió unos ojos 02:58
Nai na nai, azules como el mar 03:04

[English]
Yesterday he left
Grabbed his things and set sail
A shirt, a pair of jeans
And a song
Where will he go? Where will he go?
He said goodbye
And decided to duel with the sea
And travel the world on his sailboat
And sail, na na na, sail
And he departed
...
And he called his boat, Freedom
And in the sky he saw seagulls
And painted streaks in the sea
...
And he left
And he called his boat, Freedom
And in the sky he saw seagulls
And painted streaks in the sea
...
His heart
Looked for a different way to live
But the waves shouted at him, Go away
With the others, na na na, with the others
And he fell asleep
Y se durmió
And the night cried out, Where are you going?
And in his dreams he drew seagulls
And thought, Today I must return
And he returned
And a voice asked him, How are you?
And when he looked at it, he saw eyes
Na na na, blue as the sea
And he returned
...
And a voice asked him, How are you?
And when he looked at it, he saw eyes
Na na na, blue as the sea
And he left
And he called his boat, Freedom
And in the sky he saw seagulls
And painted streaks in the sea
...
