Un Mundo Mejor Lyrics

El tiempo ha pintado las calles del mismo color
y tú te defiendes del hambre con una sonrisa y amor.
Las casas parece que miran pidiendo perdón
y todo comienza a bailar cuando ya no vigila el sol.
Quiero escuchar tu voz cantando en un mundo mejor.
Quiero encontrarte a ti sonriendo a la vida si no te sonríe ella a ti.

Dime niña de ojos tristes,
recuerdas aquel viejo barco que tanto quisiste,
donde tú y el mar hablabais de libertad,
de una escalera a la luna quizá,
de un mundo que no deje nunca de hacernos soñar.

Los coches se arrastran dejando detrás un olor
que ahoga a turistas sin alma bebiendo en sus vasos de ron.
Un niño pregunta si la libertad es así
y suena una vieja habanera que le cuenta un cuento sin fin.
Quiero escuchar tu voz cantando en un mundo mejor.
Quiero encontrarte a ti sonriendo a la vida si no te sonríe ella a ti.

Dime niña de ojos tristes,
recuerdas aquel viejo barco que tanto quisiste,
donde tú y el mar, hablabais de libertad,
de una escalera a la luna quizá,
de un mundo que no deje nunca de hacernos soñar.

No digas nada, sólo es un ángel jugando a vivir.
Vuelve a sonreír por mí.
Por eso dime niña de ojos tristes,
recuerdas aquel viejo barco que tanto quisiste,
donde tú y el mar, hablabais de libertad,
de una escalera a la luna quizá,
de un mundo que no deje nunca de hacernos soñar.

I agree, it's about a Cuban girl wondering of the world outside... The lyrics in english:

The time has painted the streets with the same colors And you defend yourself from hunger with a smile and love The houses appear to be asking for forgiveness And everything starts to dance when the sun is not watching anymore I want to hear your voice singing in a better world I want to find you smiling to life if it doesn't smile to you

Tell me, girl of sad eyes Do you remember that old ship you've always wanted? Where you and the sea talked about liberty from a stair to the moon, perhaps of a world that would never let us stop dreaming

The cars hang around leaving behind a smell that drowns souless tourist drinking their glasses of rum A kid asks if liberty is like that And an old Habana woman sounds telling a story without end I want to hear your voice singing in a better world I want to find you smiling to life, if it doesn't smiles at you

Tell me, girl of sad eyes, Do you remember that old ship you've always wanted? Where you and the sea talked about liberty from a stair to the moon, perhaps of a world that would never let us stop dreaming

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

That's why Tell me, girl of sad eyes Do you remember that old ship you've always wanted? Where you and the sea talked about liberty from a stair to the moon, perhaps of a world that would never let us stop dreaming
