We started writing this song in Prospect Park, Brooklyn on a warm Summer night. There was joyous live music, and children were playing under the trees in a magical scene, where dozens of fireflies danced around them.
lyrics:
Fuimos a andar al parque y nos cayó la noche
Fuimos a andar al parque y nos cayó la noche
Cuando unos luceros en el viento
Danzaron a nuestro alrededor
Cuando unos luceros en el viento
Danzaron a nuestro alrededor
Luciérnaga
Farolito entre las flores
Luciérnaga
Lamparita de colores
Luciérnaga
Pequeño sol
Con amor te canto
Pequeño sol
Con amor te canto
Quiero verte brillar mientras sigues volando
Quiero verte brillar mientras sigues volando
Tu resplandor alumbra a los niños jugando
Tu resplandor alumbra a los niños jugando
Tu resplandor alumbra a los niños jugando
Luciérnaga...
English rough translation:
We went to the park and night fell
We went to the park and night fell
When some bright stars in the wind
Danced around us
When some bright stars in the wind
Danced around us
Firefly
Lantern between the flowers
Firefly
Colorful little lamp
Firefly
Tiny sun
I sing to you with love
Tiny sun
I sing to you with loce
I want to see you shine while you go on flying
I want to see you shine while you go on flying
Your brightness lights up the children playing
Your brightness lights up the children playing
Your brightness lights up the children playing
Firefly...
