El Cielo Está Dentro de Mí

Heaven is Inside Me

El Cielo Está Dentro de Mí

At the top of the mountainEn lo alto de la sierra
I stopped to restMe detuve a descansar
But I felt like I was leavingPero sentí que me iba
Without moving from the placeSin moverme del lugar

My eyes got lostLos ojos se me perdieron
In that vastnessEn aquella inmensidad
And I forgot about myselfY me olvidé de mí mismo
So much looking and lookingTanto mirar y mirar

Suddenly the voice of lonelinessDe pronto me ha preguntado
Asked meLa voz de la soledad
If I was looking for heavenSi andaba buscando el cielo
And I answered maybeY yo respondí quizás

Heaven is inside oneselfEl cielo está dentro de uno
And hell is there tooY está el infierno también
The soul writes its booksEl alma escribe sus libros
But no one reads themPero ninguno los lee

Sometimes one walksA veces uno camina
Between shadow and lightEntre la sombra y la luz
A smile on the faceEn la cara la sonrisa
And a cross in the heartY en el corazón la cruz

Look for heaven within yourselfBúscalo al cielo en ti mismo
There you will find itQue allí lo vas a encontrar
But it's not easy to findPero no es fácil hallarlo
Because there's much to fightPues hay mucho que luchar

On lonely pathsPor caminos solitarios
I started walkingYo me puse a caminar
Outwardly seeking nothingPor fuera nada buscaba
But perhaps inwardlyPero por dentro quizás
