Yo Soy Un Barco [English translation]

I sing because singing is good

and I dance because dancing is better.

The world is just a great theater

but I almost never draw the curtain.

I love because I like to love;

-'cause I like to love a lot-

I deceive when I am deceived;

-only when I'm deceived-

I work because I have no other choice,

-'cause there's no other choice-

but working makes me happy.

-working makes me feel good-

I feel because feeling inspires me

-'cause feeling deeply inspires-

I forget, because why remember,

the loves that I greatly desired in life,

but I couldn't drop my anchor in any

Chorus:

I am a ship

and I must sail

through the restless waters

of the wide sea

I am a cloud

and no one can tie me down

and those that try will rise

and must fall

I suffer because suffering teaches me

and I cry because crying is good for me.

After the love storyl1 is over

I laugh at what could have been.

I dream because dreaming elevates me

-'cause dreaming a lot elevates me-

and I stop when I can't go on

-I stop when I don't want to go on-

trying to find out entangles

-'cause trying to find out entangles-

the fabric and the thread of fate

-'cause I don't need to know-

I feel because feeling inspires me

-'cause feeling deeply inspires-

I forget, because why remember,

the loves that I loved a lot in life,

but I couldn't drop my anchor in any

Chorus (x2)

I am a ship

and I must sail

through the restless waters

of the wide sea

I am a cloud

and no one can tie me down

and those that try will rise

and must fall

-I told you that I'm a ship-

that I must sail

I am a ship

and I must sail

-it's just that I'm a ship-

that can never, never, never stop

-I told you that I'm a ship-

my vessel will never shipwreck

-it's just that I'm a ship-

raise the sail but it will climb the sea

-I told you that I'm a ship-

on this ship I'm the captain

-it's just that I'm a ship-

Against the wind and tide, sail

-I told you that I'm a ship-

I told you that I'm a ship

I told you that I'm a ship

and I wont set my anchor, no, no

What?

Hey!

To the water!

I am a ship

and I must sail

through the restless waters

of the wide sea

I am a cloud

and no one can tie me down

and those that try will rise

and must fall

-I told you that I'm a ship-

that I must sail

-it's just that I'm a ship-

that will never, never stop

-I told you that I'm a ship-

the tide rises and it rocks

-it's just that I'm a ship-

For you my ship will set anchor now!

Sailing!
