No despiertes si sueñas amores
niña hermosa, que amar es soñar!
despertar es quebrar ilusiones
y hallar entre sombras la amarga verdad,

No despiertes si vives soñando
si en tu mente hay torrentes de sol,
si en tus sueños enciendes suspiros
que te cercan y acallan tu voz.

Soñar y nada mas
con mundos de ilusión,
soñar y nada mas 
con un querer arrobador,
soñar que tuyo es el
y vive para ti,
soñar siempre soñar
que dicen que el amor
es triste despertar...

Soñar y nada mas
con noches de inquietud,
que misteriosas van 
cantando amor y beatitud,
volaran las estrellas
de divinos resplandores,
y en esa eternidad
vivir un ideal
soñar y nada mas!

No despiertes si sueñas quereres,
que sin duda soñar es vivir,
mientras tu alma vislumbra estaturas,
verás siempre hermosa que el mundo es felíz.

Despertar es matar esperanzas
y enfrentar a la cruel realidad,
es por eso que quiero que sueñes
que soñando jamás llorarás!

Don't wake up if you're dreaming of love
pretty girl, that to love is to dream!
To wake up is to distroy illusion
and to find in the shadows the bitter truth.

Don't wake up if you live dreaming
if in your mind there are floods of sunlight,
if in your dreams you turn on the sighs
that surround you and silence your voice.

To dream and nothing else
about worlds of illusion
to dream and nothing else
with an entrancing love,
to dream that he is yours
and he lives only for you
to dream always to dream
they say that love
is a sad awakening...

To dream and nothing else
with nights of anxiety,
that are misteriously
singing love and beatitude
the stars will fly,
the ones of divine brightness,
and in that eternity
to live an ideal
to dream and nothing else!

Don't wake up if you dream about love,
without a doubt to dream is to live,
while your soul catches a glimpse of statures
you'll see, beautiful one that the world is happy.

To wake up is to kill hope
and to face the cruel reality,
that's why I want you to dream
because dreaming you'll never cry!
