Right now, I feel like a bird

Ahora mismo me siento como un pájaro.

Caged without a key

Enjaulado sin llave

Everyone comes to stare at me

Todos vienen a mirarme

With so much joy and revelry

Con tanta alegría y juerga

They don't know how I feel inside

No saben como me siento por dentro

Through my smile, I cry

A través de mi sonrisa, lloro

They don't know what they're doin' to me

No saben lo que me están haciendo

Keepin' me from flyin'

Me impide volar

That's why I say that

Por eso digo eso

I know why the caged bird sings

Sé por qué canta el pájaro enjaulado

And only joy comes from song

Y sólo la alegría viene de la canción

She's so rare and beautiful to others

Ella es tan rara y hermosa para los demás.

Why not just set her free?

¿Por qué no simplemente dejarla libre?

So she can fly, fly, fly

Para que ella pueda volar, volar, volar

Spreadin' her wings and her song

Extendiendo sus alas y su canción

Let her fly, fly, fly

Déjala volar, volar, volar.

For the whole world to see

Para que todo el mundo vea

She's like a caged bird

Ella es como un pájaro enjaulado

Fly, fly

vuela, vuela

Ooh, just let her fly

Ooh, solo déjala volar

Just let her fly, just let her fly

Sólo déjala volar, sólo déjala volar

Spread wings, spread beauty

Extiende alas, difunde belleza.
