Absolutely love this BEAUTIFUL song! For me, it helps pick me up when all seems dark and hopeless. I first heard it when my high-school Spanish teacher played it for us all in class (He was, and probably always will be, my favorite teacher and one of my bigger mentors). I saved it and listen to it often.
Here is a quick, dirty Google Translate that I did my best to touch up, pardon my rusty Spanish skills... :
"Beautiful, everything is beautiful to me
A beautiful morning
A beautiful place
A beautiful bed
How great the sea looks [or maybe 'how beautiful the bed is, that so well views the sea?]
Beautiful is the day
And life has only just begun to be beautiful
Breathe, breathe, breathe
The phone rings, my friend complains
Things are going badly, life weighs on him
That living like this is no longer interesting
That continuing like this is not worth it
Love is lost to him, the party is over
The engine that pushes the earth no longer works
Life is a joke with a sad ending
The future does not exist but I tell him...
Beautiful, everything is beautiful to me
Beautiful is peace, beautiful is life
Beautiful it is to come to be born again each day
Beautiful is truth when it doesn't sound like a lie
Beautiful is friendship, beautiful is laughter
Beautiful are people, when there is quality [of life?]
Beautiful are the people who do not regret
who win and who lose, who speak and don't lie
Beautiful, people are, that is why I say...
Beautiful, everything is beautiful to me
How beautiful it is when things go beautifully,
How beautiful that things are going well
Beautiful, everything is beautiful to me
The sea, the morning, the house, the shadow, the earth,
the peace and the life that we have
Beautiful, everything is beautiful to me
Your calm, your pizazz [not sure if this is right for 'salsa'], the
blemish on your back, your face, your longing for the weekend
Beautiful are the people who come and who go
Beautiful are the people who don't stop going
Beautiful are the timeless people
that listen, that understand, that have and that give
Beautiful Portet, beautiful Peret
Beautiful the rumba, beautiful José
Beautiful the breeze that isn't in a hurry
Beautiful this day, breathe, breathe
Beautiful are the people when they are genuine
Beautiful are the people who are unique
Who tremble, who feel
Who live in the present
Beautiful are the people that I was and that is no longer
Beautiful, everything seems beautiful to me
How beautiful it is when things go beautifully,
How beautiful that things are going well
How beautiful it is when things go beautifully,
How beautiful that things are going well
Beautiful, everything seems beautiful to me."
Without getting too deep into the song, my interpretation of it is that even though life has many hardships and can be ugly, when you take a step back and try to gain some more perspective, you might be able to see that every segment of life has it's own beauty. Sorry if my translation is lacking, but I hope the general meaning is right. Cheers.
