Tengo un mar de amor por ti
Que en el mar de amor q' es Dios
Es solo una barca pequeña
Es solo una barca pequeña
Este amooor, mi amor, mi amor por ti
Yo lo quiero compartir
Para no estar más en soledad oh no
Tengo claro lo que soy
Tengo claro donde voy
No soy unico testigo de mi vida, oh no
Eres mi unica herencia
Dicen que camino en abstracción
No se diferenciar lo que está bien, lo q' está mal (ohh)
Chorus (x2):
Tengo un mar de amor por ti
En el mar de amor q' es Dios
Es solo una barca pequeña, ohuhoh
Es solo una barca pequeña
Muchos hablan why no hacen nada
why les condenan sus propias palabras
why da lo bueno de ti sin pedir explicación
Solo importa los latidos de tu corazón
(Todo lo demás es vanidad)
(Todo lo demás es arrogancia)
Vive tu vida hermano
Vive tu vida en paz
why tomas de la mano
Aquel siente que el mundo ha dejado atrás, oh si
Vive tu vida hermano
Vive tu vida en paz
Aqui en este mundo nadie sobra
Nadie está de más
Chorus (x2):
Tengo un mar de amor por ti
En el mar de amor q' es Dios
Es solo una barca pequeña, ohuhoh
Es solo una barca pequeña

They speak about knowing themselves and where they are heading, but feeling misunderstood by those around them.

Throughout the song, there is a message of living one's life in peace and not worrying about the opinions of others. The lines "Solo importan los latidos de tu corazón" translate to "Only the beating of your heart matters."
