## Lyrics

* Spanish
* English

Dos oruguitas enamoradas

Pasan sus noches y madrugadas

Llenas de hambre siguen andando

Y navegando un mundo que cambia y sigue cambiando

Navegando un mundo que cambia y sigue cambiando

Dos oruguitas paran el viento

Mientras se abrazan con sentimiento

Siguen creciendo, no saben cuando

Buscar algún rincón, el tiempo sigue cambiando

Inseparable son y el tiempo sigue cambiando

Ay, oruguitas, no se aguanten más

Hay que crecer aparte y volver, hacia delante seguirás

Vienen milagros, vienen crisálidas

Hay que partir y construí su propio futuro

Ay, oruguitas, no se aguanten más

Hay que crecer aparte y volver, hacia delante seguirás

Vienen milagros, vienen crisálidas

Hay que partir y construí su propio futuro

Dos oruguitas desorientadas

En dos capullos bien abrigadas

Con sueños nuevos, ya solo falta

Hacer lo necesario en el mundo que sigue cambiando

Tomando sus paredes, hay viene nuestro milagro

Nuestro milagro, nuestro milagro...

Ay, mariposas, no se aguanten más

Hay que crecer aparte y volver, hacia delante seguirás

Ya son milagros, rompiendo crisálidas

Hay que volar, hay que encontrar su propio futuro

Ay, mariposas, no se aguanten más

Hay que crecer aparte y volver, hacia delante seguirás

Ya son milagros, rompiendo crisálidas

Hay que volar, hay que encontrar su propio futuro

Ay, mariposas, no se aguanten más

Hay que crecer aparte y volver, hacia delante seguirás

Ya son milagros, rompiendo crisálidas

Hay que volar, hay que encontrar su propio futuro

Two oruguitas

In love and yearning

Spend every evening

And morning learning

To hold each other

Their hunger burning

To navigate a world

That turns, and never stops turning

Together in this world

That turns, and never stops turning

Two oruguitas

Against the weather

The wind grows colder

But they're together

They hold each other

No way of knowing

They're all they have for shelter

And something inside them is growing

They long to stay together

But something inside them is growing

Ay, oruguitas

Don't you hold on too tight

Both of you know

It's your time to grow

To fall apart, to reunite

Wonders await you

Just on the other side

Trust they'll be there

And start to prepare

The way for tomorrow

Ay, oruguitas

Don't you hold on too tight

Both of you know

It's your time to grow

To fall apart, to reunite

Wonders await you

Just on the other side

Trust they'll be there

And start to prepare

The way for tomorrow

(Oh, oh, oh, oh...)

Two oruguitas

Cocooned and waiting

Each in their own world

Anticipating

What happens after:

The rearranging

And so afraid of change

In a world that never stops changing

So let the walls come down

The world will never stop changing

(Never stop changing)

(Never stop changing)

(Never stop changing)

Ay, mariposas

Don't you hold on too tight

Both of you know

It's your time to go

To fly apart, to reunite

Wonders surround you

Just let the walls come down

Don't look behind you

Fly 'til you find

Your way toward tomorrow

Ay, mariposas

Don't you hold on too tight

Both of you know

It's your time to go

To fly apart, to reunite

Wonders surround you

Just let the walls come down

Don't look behind you

Fly 'til you find

Your way toward tomorrow

Ay, mariposas

Don't you hold on too tight

Both of you know

It's your time to go

To fly apart, to reunite

Wonders surround you

Just let the walls come down

Don't look behind you

Fly 'til you find

Your way toward tomorrow

## Trivia

* Dos Oruguitas translates to "Two Little Catepillars" in English.
	+ The word "Oruguitas" is formed from the Spanish word *oruga* (catepillar) plus "-ita" (diminutive suffix meaning "little, small").
* The English version of the song in the end-credits isn't an exact translation of the Spanish version, but rather an adaptation of the song that highlights the main points of the original lyrics.*[citation needed]*
