Canta

Que si algo quieres decir, dilo cantando
y si algo quieres llorar, cántalo también
que cuando cantas las penas se van revolviendo en el corazón
y sin querer ya se van volviendo canción.

Que cuando todo esté oscuro velo pintando
con el color que te va dictando la voz
y si el canto no te ayuda, no más hazte el loco
y ponte a llorar
que solo llorando sana el alma

CORO
Canta cuando hay que cantar
y llora cuando hay que llorar
y es que cantando lloras de todas formas te da igual

Y cuando quieras llorar yo te doy mi llanto
y en mí traigo a un pais que sabe llorar
y si a eso le voy sumando a todos los que sufren de soledad
entonces vamos llorando ya todo un mar

Que si se rompe tu voz yo contigo canto
y conmigo vienen dos que cantan también
y si a eso le voy sumando a todos los que vienen de par en par
mejor te regalo un mar de gente

CORO

Sing

If you feel like saying something, say it by singing
and if you feel like crying something, sing it as well,
'cause when you sing, all your sorrows get mixed in your heart, and pretty soon they're transformed into songs.

If everything looks dark, go ahead and paint it!
with the colors that your voice dictates
and if singing doesn't help, why, then just cry,
thay only by crying will your soul really heal.

CHORUS:
Sing when it's time to sing
and cry when it's time to cry
and perhaps you'll also know when to do both at the same time

And if you feel like crying, I am here to cry with you
and with me I bring a whole Country
that knows pretty well just how to cry.
And if we add to that, all the people who suffer from solitude,
why, then we'll cry a whole sea.

If you feel like crying, but your voice breaks down,
then I am here to sing with you
and with me I bring two who also know how to sing,
and if we add to that, all those who'd like to join me,
why, then we'll have a sea of people.

CHORUS:
Sing when it's time to sing
and cry when it's time to cry
and perhaps you'll also know when to do both at the same time
