    Como la luz fluye
    como la luz
    Desde el interior a fuera
    desde el exterior a mi

    As the light flows
    As the light
    From the inside to outside
    From the outside to me


    No me sepultes
    permiteme escapar
    Quisiera ser instrumento de tu obra
    aun en la oscuridad

    Don't burry me
    Let me escape
    Let me be an instrument of your work
    Even in the dark


    Solo conciencia de servir
    en vertical y horizontal

    Only consciousness of serving
    Vertical and horizonta
    l

    Solo una fuente
    y sin que nada la obstruya

    Just a fountain
    And without anything to obstruct it


    Fluyendote, constantemente
    Fluyendote, constantemente

    Streaming constantly to you
    Streaming constantly to you


    Como la luz fluye
    como la luz
    desde el interior a fuera
    desde el exterior a mi

    As the light flows
    As the light
    From the inside to outside
    From the outside to me


    A mi fluye, como la luz
    A mi fluye, como la luz.

    As the light flows to me
    As the light flows to me


    Greetings

    OMG. Thanks. I've been looking for the translation for years! This is my most favorite song and I don't understand a lick of the Spanish being sung in the song. I have a question: What dialect of Spanish is sung in Chambao and what is being said in the background after the first verse?

    Thanks

    Chambao has southern Spain accent. They are from Málaga (Andalucía)

    Btw chambao is a improvised tent to protect from the sunlight used on the beach

    Can someone please explain what this song is about? Is it about love or does it have a religious significance?

    ~Thanks
