Your hands are shaking, my boy.
No mires a tus pies.
Don’t look at your feet.
Escucha el suelo de madera.
Listen to the wooden floor.
Te enseñaré una vez.
I will show you once.
Ahora el escenario es tuyo.
Now the stage is yours.

Inventa tu propio siguiente paso.
Invent your own next step.
Inventa tu propio siguiente paso.
Invent your own next step.
Tu corazón sabe el camino.
Your heart knows the way.

Él encuentra un giro oculto.
He finds a hidden spin.
Él salta hacia la luz.
He jumps into the light.
No más miedo en él.
No more fear in him.
Dibuja círculos con el polvo.

La habitación comienza a volar.
The room starts to fly.
La gravedad es solo una sugerencia.
Gravity is just a suggestion.
