Lyrics

Español

Peregrino y soñador, cantar quiero mi fantasía y la loca poesía que hay en mi corazón, y lleno de amor y de alegría, volcaré mi canción. Siempre sentí la dulce ilusión, de estar viviendo mi pasión. Si es que vivo lo que sueño, yo sueño todo lo que canto, por eso mi encanto es el amor. Mi pobre alma de bohemio quiere acariciar y como una flor perfumar. Y en mis noches de dolor, a hablar me voy con las estrellas y las cosas más bellas, despierto he de soñar, porque le confío a ellas toda mi sed de amar. Siempre sentí la dulce ilusión, de estar viviendo mi pasión. Yo busco en los ojos celestes y renegridas cabelleras, pasiones sinceras, dulce emoción. Y en mi triste vida errante llena de ilusión, quiero dar todo mi corazón.

English · machine translation

Pilgrim and dreamer, sing I want my fantasy and the crazy poetry that is in my heart, and full of love and joy, I will pour out my song. I always felt the sweet illusion to be living my passion. If I live what I dream, I dream everything I sing, that's why my charm is love. My poor bohemian soul wants to caress and like a flower perfuming. And in my nights of pain to talk I go with the stars and the most beautiful things, awake I dream, because I entrust to them all my thirst for love. I always felt the sweet illusion of living my passion. I search in the light blue eyes and renegade tresses, sincere passions, sweet emotion. And in my sad wandering life full of illusion, I want to give all my heart.
