Open Sails
Light into your eyes
Dreams deep in your heart
Ready for a trip
Sharing our time
If you give me your hand
Faster I will go there
Much further with you
I will arrive
We are in the same sea
Sailing with open sails
To islands of peace
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
As great explorers
Of languages and traditions
Hear long stories
Of new populations
If you open your heart
Also, I will tell you
My ancient story
That looks like yours
A bit
We are in the same sea
Sailing with open sails
To islands of peace
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
Ready to meet
Beyond all the borders
With the same heart
A new brother
We will build together
Among diversities
A big kaleidoscope
Of a thousand identities
