When you give without expecting
When you truly love
When you offer forgiveness
instead of bitterness
There is peace in your heart
When you feel compassion
For a friend and his pain
When you look at the star
That is hidden in the mist
There is peace in your heart
Beyond the bitterness
The tears and the pain
The light of love shines
Inside of each heart
Hope, Christmas
Let your dreams soar
Sow peace
Offer love
Because the whole world is asking for more
When a prayer blossoms
When you accept mistakes
When you find the place
For freedom
There is one more smile
When reason arrives
And misunderstanding is gone
When you want to work hard
For an ideal
There is one more smile
There is a ray of sun
Through the crystal
There is a better world
When you learn to love
Beyond the bitterness
The tears and the pain
The light of love shines
Inside of each heart
Hope, Christmas
Let your dreams soar
Sow peace
Offer love
Because the whole world is asking for more
When you remove the fear
And lavishly give your friendship
When with the same song
You unite your voice
There is peace in your heart
When you search with zeal
And discover your truth
When you want to shape
A better tomorrow
There is peace in your heart
Beyond the bitterness
The tears and the pain
The light of love shines
Inside of each heart
Hope, Christmas
Let your dreams soar
Sow peace
Offer love
Because the whole world is asking for more
thanks for bothering to translate this. i just fell in love with the song today, and google's translation was clearly ridiculous!
ReplyDeletethanks again.
You are very welcome. I love this song too :-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome translation. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI would make two suggestions:
Change "illusion" (means "something that deceives by producing a false or misleading impression of reality") to "hope".
Spell "lavishly" without an e.
Thank you for coming by and for your suggestions. :-) I agree and is all updated. Thank you and Feliz Navidad!!
DeleteI wannt to listen that song in English version. Do you know it?
ReplyDeleteNo. I never heard anyone sing this song in English. Sorry.
DeleteMy grandfather took his own life five weeks ago. He was like a father to me. I rediscovered this song shortly afterward, remembering it from years ago. I love music in Spanish and speak quite a bit, but it's always nice to have a 100% fluent translation, so this has been wonderful. You have no idea how much these lyrics mean to me and have inspired me to continue taking it day by day, sometimes hour by hour. This has given me hope and has transcended the boundaries of language and culture - just like music and love are made to do. Thank you for this. It has meant the world.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment Joshua. I'm sorry about your grandfather and I'm glad this song does what it needs to. Connect us all to what's really important. Wish you better days ahead. Your comment has meant the world to me. Sometimes we don't know what we create until someone finds it special, just like I do.
DeleteWonderful song. Heard it last week in Benidorm for the first time. Gloria sings it well ! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWow. I'm always so amazed at how lyrics can touch people years after they are written. Thanks for coming by and leaving a comment, glad you found it special just like me. ;-)
DeleteI am trying to learn this song and now I want to learn Spanish so I can understand it fully. Thank you for this translation! Everything else out there is mechanical and AI generated. Now I can have the Spanish version open alongside yours to learn the Spanish words as I'm reading the actual meaning.
ReplyDeleteTake my blessing in gratitude.
Thank you for coming by and it makes me happy to find this translation still helpful in any way ;-) love this song and blessings to anyone who loves it too. Thank you.
