Time has painted the streets the same color
And you defend yourself from hunger with a smile and love
The houses seem to look asking for forgiveness
And everything starts to dance when the sun is no longer watching
I want to hear your voice singing in a better world
I want to find you smiling at life if it doesn't smile at you

Tell me, girl with sad eyes
Do you remember that old ship you loved so much
Where you and the sea talked about freedom
About a ladder to the moon perhaps
About a world that never stops making us dream

Cars drag themselves leaving behind a smell
That chokes soulless tourists drinking their rum glasses
A child asks if this is what freedom is like
And an old habanera sounds telling him an endless story
I want to hear your voice singing in a better world
I want to find you smiling at life if it doesn't smile at you

Tell me, girl with sad eyes
Do you remember that old ship you loved so much
Where you and the sea, talked about freedom
About a ladder to the moon perhaps
About a world that never stops making us dream

Don't say anything, it's just an angel playing to live
Smile again for me

So tell me, girl with sad eyes
Do you remember that old ship you loved so much
Where you and the sea, talked about freedom
About a ladder to the moon perhaps
About a world that never stops making us dream
