LISTEN TO SALVADOR BELTRÁN’S ‘DÍAS DE ALEGRÍA’
LYRICS IN SPANISH
Habla, que estás sufriendo,
que te lo veo, dime qué te pasa?
Ya se te nota que nada bueno.
Cálmate, respira lento,
coge el aliento que te haga falta.
Recapacita por un momento,
que hay días malos y días buenos.Tú quédate con la gente que tienes y te abraza el alma.
Qué bello es soñar despierto,
seguir el sueño que te levanta.
Coger al miedo y echarle un duelo,
que no te pare, que hoy no hay frenos
y verás que la vida sorprende
y la suerte te cambia.
Son días, días de alegría.
Celebra lo bueno cantando
y fuera desidia con mi son.
Días, días de la vida, y sólo depende de ti remontar el vuelo, alcanzar tu cima…
Pausa, que la rutina del universo a mí me cansa.
Quizá me inventé un mundo nuevo,
y si tú quieres pues yo te llevo,
y verás que la vida sorprende y la suerte te cambia…
Son días, días de alegría.
Celebra lo bueno cantando y fuera desidia con mi son.
Días, días de la vida y sólo depende de ti remontar el vuelo…
Y aunque todo cambia, ¿cuál es el secreto?
Escucha al niño que llevas dentro,
haz lo que sientas en cada momento,
consiste en eso ser feliz.
A tu enamorada róbale un beso
y grita al alba diez mil te quieros,
dirige tus metas donde tú quieras llevarlas…
Son días, días de la vida…
Son días, días de alegría.
Celebra lo bueno cantando
y fuera desidia con mi son.
Días, días de la vida
y sólo depende de ti remontar el vuelo, alcanzar tu cima…
Son días, días de alegría.
LYRICS IN ENGLISH
Speak, you are suffering,
I can see it in you, what’s going on?
It’s obvious that is nothing good.
Calm down, breathe slowly,
Take every breath you need.
Think of it again for a second,
That there are good and bad days.Just keep close those you have and those who embrace your soul.
How beautiful it is to day dream,
Follow the dream that lifts you up.
Grab your fears and fight them,
don’t let them stop you, ‘cause today there are no obstacles
and you’ll see that life surprises you
and your luck changes.
Those are days, days of joy.
Celebrate what’s good singing
And kick the sloth out with my beat.
Days, days of life, and it just depends on you to soar and reach your top…
Take a break, the routine of the universe tires me.
Maybe I’ll make up a new world,
And if you want, then I’ll carry you along,
And you’ll see that life surprises you and luck changes…
Those are days, days of joy.
Celebrate what’s good singing and kick the sloth out with my beat.
Days, days of life, and it just depends on you to soar and reach your top…
And even though everything changes, what’s the secret?
Listen to the child within you,
Do whatever you feel, anytime,
That’s what being happy is about.
Steal a kiss from your lover
And shout “I love you” ten thousand times at dawn,
Drive your goals wherever you want to take them…
Those are days, days of life…
Those are days, days of joy.
Celebrate what’s good singing and kick the sloth out with my beat.
Days, days of life, and it just depends on you to soar and reach your top…
Those are days, days of joy.
