[Spanish]

[English]

Tenemos algo que no he visto nunca en nadie más

We have something I've never seen in anyone else

Algunos dicen que esto es solo cosa del azar

Some say this is just a matter of chance

Yo creo que hay algo más

I believe there's something more

Que no puedo explicar

That I can't explain

No se te ocurra repetir que esto se va a pasar

Don't even think about saying this will pass

Dime una sola cosa que pueda secar el mar

Tell me one thing that could dry the sea

Lo intentarás frenar

You'll try to stop it

Y nos volverá a alcanzar

And it will catch up with us again

Ni en sueños pude imaginar

I couldn't even imagine in my dreams

Lo que ahora es tan real

What is now so real

Tú y yo

You and I

Somos el mundo entero

We are the whole world

¿Por qué tenerle miedo?

Why be afraid?

Si no hay nada más grande

If there's nothing greater

Más grande que el fuego entre tú y yo

Greater than the fire between you and me

Que con una mirada

That with a single glance

Ganamos la batalla

We win the battle

No intentes evitar

Don't try to avoid

Lo que ya no se puede parar

What can no longer be stopped

Tenemos algo que no he visto nunca en nadie más

We have something I've never seen in anyone else

¿Vas a decirme que prefieres dejarlo pasar?

Are you going to tell me you'd rather let it pass?

No lo conseguirás

You won't succeed

Nos volverá a alcanzar

It will catch up with us again

Ni en una vida entera algunos logran encontrar

Not even in a whole lifetime do some manage to find

Eso que a ti y a mí nos atrapó fue un huracán

What trapped you and me was a hurricane

Que gira sin parar

That spins without stopping

Y no nos va a soltar

And it won't let us go

Ni en sueños pude imaginar

I couldn't even imagine in my dreams

Lo que ahora es tan real

What is now so real

Tú y yo

You and I

Somos el mundo entero

We are the whole world

¿Por qué tenerle miedo?

Ganamos la batalla

We win the battle

No intentes evitar

Lo que tú y yo tenemos
