Opening ways

I am opening ways to leave to you
The good things I learn while I walk down my road
 
I will take with me
The good lights people have
That illuminate my life and offer me my good luck
 
[Like a river that flows towards the sea]
 
I want to see the smile of the sun at dawn (in the morning)
Always coming to knock at our window
I want a sun, I want a sun to keep me company
Always talking straight, chasing away all the bad things
 
I am paving the way to meet with you
In this lost world there are still good friends left
 
And I will take with me
The good lights people have
And when I am going to feel lonely, they will take care of me forever
 
I want to see the smile of the sun at dawn
Always coming to knock at our window
I want a sun, I want a sun to keep me company
Always talking straight, chasing away all the bad things
 
[Like a river that flows towards the sea]
 
Let the pain out, and don't sit and wait
 
[Like a river that flows towards the sea]
 
Laugh, cry
"cause there is still so much to live.
 
And although in the world there are persons so grey (sad/upset)
There are other who won't stop shining.
 
In this life that is ending for me
I don't want to stop singing to you
 
[Like a river that flows towards the sea]
 
Let the pain out
and don't sit and wait
 
[Like a river that flows towards the sea]
 
Laugh, cry
"cause there is still so much to live.
 
[Like a river that flows towards the sea]
 
I wish it would rain coffee over the fields
 
[Like a river that flows towards the sea]
 
Knowing that it'spossible, wanting to be possible, letting all out.
 
[Like a river that flows towards the sea]
 
When you sing with me Juan Luis, my bilirubin goes up
 
[Like a river that flows towards the sea]
 
But Diego, let your dreams be waves that come and go
 
[Like a river that flows towards the sea]
 
I'd like to be a fish in order not to get lost in this sea
 
[Like a river that flows towards the sea]
 
And despite my mistakes, I'll try to be better
 
[Like a river that flows towards the sea]

In the coda, the verses that Diego Torres and Juan Luis Guerra sing between "Like a river flowing to the sea" (that is, "I wish it rained coffee over the fields," "Knowing it's possible, wanting it to be possible, giving it all," etc.) are references to some of the most well known songs of the other singer.

In order, Juan Luis Guerra's "Ojala que llueva cafe," Diego Torres's "Color Esperanza," JLG's "Me sube la bilirrubina," DT's "Sueños," JLG's "Quisiera ser un pez," and DT's "Tratar de estar mejor"
