Somnia la terra entre els oceans
a les grans onades dels somnis de sal
Somnia la vida a les seues mans
a les grans barriades dels somnis de fang

Somnia batalles d'antigues cançons
a les melodies dels somnis de plom
somnia derrotes cremant il·lusions

a les esperances dels somnis del món

Es fa la nit al món
i al fons del meu cor
i somnie amb la Lluna tornar a somniar
la vida prohibida del teu despertar

Somnien les cares de pell ancestral
i en els foscos segles de somnis de sang
Somnien justícia somnia combat
en les tristes selves dels somnis robats

Somnia Bolivar somnia Martí
i en les velles rutes dels somnis prohibits
Somnia fronteres trencant horitzons
viatjant al tren de les revolucions

Es fa de nit al món
i al fons del meu cor
Somnia la Lluna tornant a somniar
la vida prohibida del teu despertar

Somnia la Lluna tornar a somniar
l'Amèrica viva d'orgull popular

The next two stanzas are more explicitly political in nature, calling on historical figures like Bolivar and Marti and referencing the struggle for justice and revolution. The final chorus returns to the image of the moon as a symbol of rebirth and hope, as the singer dreams of a vibrant and proud America that has risen up against unjust forces.
