Below, I translated the lyrics of the song En El 87 by Silvina Moreno from Spanish to English.

In '87, a toothless baby surprises her mom

She carries a sky-blue secret that even she doesn't understand, but it will make her fly

She imagines colors that don't exist

Her family of values and love dresses her, dresses her

Lovely this golden sky, I stay by my side and the sunset flies

Lifting pieces of a forgotten moment, I belong again

And I pray to that one that I know they listen to

I yearn that he takes away my anguish, anguish

Light shines strong, never go out, please

I want to have you lighting up my heart

There's no heat greater than your sun

It pierces me, it transforms me

It makes me better

I look at the riverbank turning ideas into a superpower

And with my power that I self-invented, I aim to entertain

To the dreams, singing to the moon

And to the souls that in their loneliness listen, listen

Light shines strong, never go out, please

I want to have you lighting up my heart

There's no heat greater than your sun

It pierces me, it transforms me

It makes me better

Uuh

SONG MEANING

"En El 87" feels like opening a time-capsule from Silvina Moreno’s own birth year. The song paints a cinematic scene where a toothless baby — presumably Silvina herself — arrives carrying a mystical, sky-colored secret. Surrounded by a loving family, this child’s boundless imagination invents colors that have never been seen and quietly forges the superpower that will later become her music. Each verse is a postcard of childhood wonder: golden skies, playful sunsets, and whispered prayers asking a higher force to chase away fear.

As the track unfolds, that newborn spark grows into a guiding light that “atraviesa” — pierces through — her heart, transforming her and pushing her to share warmth with others. Silvina sings about channeling her invented power to entertain dreams, sing to the moon, and comfort lonely listeners. In short, the song is a vibrant memoir of self-discovery and creativity: a celebration of how an inner light, nurtured by family and faith, can blossom into art that helps both the artist and her audience feel they belong.
