Sueño bajo el cielo de la cuidad un arcoiris de flores brillando bajo el sol
(Dreaming beneath the sky of this city a rainbow of flowers shining under the sun)
Flores somos flores
(Flowers, we are flowers)
Somos flores en el jardin en el solar
(We are flowers in the garden in this yard)
Tierra, somos tierra
(Earth, we are earth)
Somos tierra con riquesa de unidad
(We are earth with richness and unity)
Juntas florecen las nocturnas
(Together the nocturnal flowers grow)
Y las del amanecer
(Along with those of the dawn)
Todas somos flores lado a lado
(We are all flowers side by side)
Con las yerbas y colores de la humanidad
(We are all flowers side by side with the weeds and the colors of humanity)
Flores, sobre el mundo
(Flowers upon the world)
Y nos cantan desde grietas al caminar
(And they sing to us through the cracks where we walk)
