Cover art for Un Mundo Mejor lyrics by La Oreja De Van Gogh

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
