SONG
When I Sing/Cuando Canto
When I sing, I see the sky
and its color becomes more beautiful.
When I sing, I feel inspired and my soul
fills with love.
5 When I sing, I fly high and my wings
are made of light.
I feel inspired when I sing
with love.
That’s why I sing, because
10it’s my passion.
Cuando canto, veo el cielo
y es mas bello su color.
Cuando canto, me emociono y en mi
alma hay solo amor.
5 Cuando canto, vuelo alto y mis alas
son de luz.
Yo me siento inspirada cuando canto
con amor.
Es por eso que canto, porque
10 es mi pasión.
