[English]

Today you're radiant

And you light up everything

Let's take a walk

Around the universe

Make a wish

Our souls floating

Are the brightest clouds

Turbulence

Around the universe

Getting farther and farther

Far away

...

And sailing between planets

Listening to a sound that never stops

Around the universe

Around the universe

Higher, growing higher

Higher, growing higher

...

Around the universe

Around the universe

You light up everything

Around the universe

Getting farther and farther

Around the universe

You light up everything

Around the universe

Getting farther and farther

Around the universe

...

[Spanish]

Hoy que estás espléndida

Y que todo lo iluminas

Demos un paseo

Vuelta por el universo

Pide algún deseo

Nuestras almas al flotar

Son las nubes más brillantes

Turbulencias

Vuelta por el universo

Cada vez más lejos

Lejos

Y entre planetas navegar

Atentos a un sonido que no cesa

Vuelta por el universo

Vuelta por el universo

Alto, cada vez más alto

Alto, cada vez más alto

Vuelta por el universo

Vuelta por el universo

Todo lo iluminas

Vuelta por el universo

Cada vez más lejos

Vuelta por el universo

Todo lo iluminas

Vuelta por el universo

Cada vez más lejos

Vuelta por el universo
