I can show you the world/ Jo et puc ensenyar el món
Shining, shimmering, splendid/ Brillant, lluent, esplèndid.
Tell me, princess, now when did/ Diga'm, princesa, quan vas deixar
You last let your heart decide?/ decidir al teu cor?
I can open your eyes/ Jo et puc obrir els ulls
Take you wonder by wonder/ T'ensenyaré meravelles
Over, sideways and under/ Més, als costats i a sota
On a magic carpet ride/ En una catifa màgica
A whole new world/ Un nou món
A new fantastic point of view/ Un fantàstic nou punt de vista
No one to tell us no/ On ningú ens digui que no
Or where to go/ O a on anar
Or say we're only dreaming/ O dir que estem somiant.
A whole new world/ Un nou món
A dazzling place I never knew/ Un lloc enlluernador que mai vaig conèixer
But when I'm way up here/ Però quan arribo aquí
It's crystal clear/ És de cristall.
That now I'm in a whole new world with you/ Però ara estic en un nou món amb tu
Now I'm in a whole new world with you/ Ara estic en un nou món amb tu
Unbelievable sights/ Vistes increïbles
Indescribable feeling/ Sentiments indescriptibles
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling/ Volant, tombarelles, rodar lliure
Through an endless diamond sky/ A través d'un cel de diamants sense fi.
A whole new world/ Un nou món
Don't you dare close your eyes/ No t'atreveixis a tancar els ulls.
A hundred thousand things to see/ Cent mil coses per veure.
Hold your breath - it gets better/ Aguanta la respiració, es posa millor
I'm like a shooting star/ M'agraden els estels fugaços
I've come so far/ He arribat lluny
I can't go back to where I used to be/ No puc tornar on jo solia estar
A whole new world/ Un nou món
Every turn a surprise/ Cada volta es una sorpresa
With new horizons to pursue/ Amb nous horitzons per perseguir
Every moment red-letter/ Cada moment amb lletres vermelles
I'll chase them anywhere/ Ho perseguiré en qualsevol lloc
There's time to spare/ És temps per recanviar
Let me share this whole new world with you/ Permeta'm compartir aquest nou món amb tu
A whole new world/ Un nou món
where we'll be/ Aquí és on estarem
A thrilling chase/ Una persecució emocionant
A wondrous place/ Un lloc meravellós
For you and me/ Per a tu i per a mi
