Lyrics

No hacen falta alas
Para hacer un sueño
Basta con las manos
Basta con el pecho
Basta con las piernas
Y con el empeño
No hacen falta alas
Para ser más bellos
Basta el buen sentido
Del amor inmenso
No hacen falta alas
Para alzar el vuelo
Si recojo fondos para pobres de amistad y de sonrisa
Recojo cuanto haya de bien en lo que esconde tu camisa
Acepto cuanto pueda ser útil al coro que compongo
Siempre que quieras compartir un sueño ancho, largo y hondo, oh Recojo el hielo a la deriva de los poros congelados
Luego con buena voluntad y mucha miel haré un helado
No le daré, no le daré al mentiroso y al cobarde
Repartiré, repartiré sólo al que ama y al que arde, oh No hacen falta alas
Para hacer un sueño
Basta con las manos
Basta con el pecho
Basta con las piernas
Y con el empeño
No hacen falta alas
Para ser más bellos
Basta el buen sentido
Del amor inmenso
No hacen falta alas
Para alzar el vuelo
Recojo fondos para pobres de amistad y de sonrisa
Recojo cuanto haya de bien en lo que esconde tu camisa
Acepto cuanto pueda ser útil al coro que compongo
Siempre que quieras compartir un sueño ancho, largo y hondo, oh Recojo el hielo a la deriva de los poros congelados
Luego con buena voluntad y mucha miel haré un helado
No le daré, no le daré al mentiroso y al cobarde
Repartiré, repartiré sólo al que ama y al que arde, oh
¡Vengan los buenos a comer de este helado gigante

Lyrics translation

No need for wings
To make a dream
Enough with your hands
Enough with the chest
No more legs.
And with the beginning
No need for wings
To be more beautiful
Good sense is enough
Of immense love
No need for wings
To lift the flight
If I raise funds for the poor of friendship and smile
I pick up all the good in what your shirt hides
I accept as much as I can be useful to the choir I compose
Whenever you want to share a wide, long and Deep Dream, oh I collect the ice drifting from the frozen pores
Then with Good Will and lots of honey I'll make an ice cream
I won't give it, I won't give it to the liar and the coward
I will distribute, I will distribute only to him that loves and to him that burns, oh no wings are needed
To make a dream
Enough with your hands
Enough with the chest
No more legs.
And with the beginning
No need for wings
To be more beautiful
Good sense is enough
Of immense love
No need for wings
To lift the flight
I raise funds for the poor of friendship and smile
I pick up all the good in what your shirt hides
I accept as much as I can be useful to the choir I compose
Whenever you want to share a wide, long and Deep Dream, oh I collect the ice drifting from the frozen pores
Then with Good Will and lots of honey I'll make an ice cream
I won't give it, I won't give it to the liar and the coward
I will distribute, I will distribute only to the one who loves and the one who burns, oh
Come the good ones to eat this giant ice cream
