Y la piedra en esa montaña que en lo alto puedes ver,

se cree la más importante que las que han de sostener.

¿Mas quién de su vida sabrá el valor
But who knows their life's worth
o quién lo ha de apreciar?

Por lo que ganó y lo que regaló,

respuesta verá,

Pues nunca lamentos encontrarás si tú vida has de cambiar

y si no sabes qué pasos dar, sólo tienes que bailar.

por lo que ha de comprar?
