[English]

There's a blue sky and you, looking straight at me and oh, oh

And even the sun watching over us both seemed to smile

Poor little smiling sun, it fell below the horizon

Defeated

There's an endless beach and some musicians playing and oh, oh

And even the sea seemed to enjoy soaking our feet

And everything seemed to fit together and, almost without us noticing

The light suddenly went out, goodbye blue sky

The storm has arrived

Without you, looking at the sea, no way!

I've got it on hold, moving forward

Without you, even breathing, no way!

I suddenly lost the desire for air

Without you, uh-uh-uh

Without you, uh-uh-uh

...

There's a photo on the wall, time doesn't pass around here

It's you and me watching a sunset as if in another reality

Poor little dissident sun, it never falls below the horizon

Defeated

Today in the photo on the wall we are having fun and oh, oh, oh

Could it be that I find it hard to separate the present from the past?

When everything seemed to fit, almost without speaking

But the light suddenly went out, goodbye blue sky

The storm has arrived

Without you, looking at the sea, no way!

I've got it on hold, moving forward

Without you, even breathing, no way!

I suddenly lost the desire for air

Without you, looking at the sea, no way!

I've got it on hold, moving forward

Without you, even breathing, no way!

I suddenly lost the desire for air

Without you, uh-uh-uh

Without you, uh-uh-uh

...

[Spanish]

Hay un cielo azul y tú, mirándome de frente y ay, ay

Y hasta el sol que nos miraba a los dos parecía sonreír

Pobrecito sol sonriente, se cayó por el horizonte

Vencido

Hay una playa sin final y unos músicos tocando y ay, ay

Y hasta el mar parecía disfrutar mojándonos los pies

Y todo parecía encajar y, casi sin darnos cuenta

Se acabó de pronto la luz, adiós cielo azul

Llegó la tormenta

Sin ti, mirar al mar, ¡qué va!

Lo tengo pendiente, seguir adelante

Sin ti, ni respirar, ¡qué va!

Perdí de repente las ganas del aire

Sin ti, uh-uh-uh

Sin ti, uh-uh-uh

Hay una foto en la pared, por aquí no pasa el tiempo

Estamos tú y yo viendo una puesta de sol como en otra realidad

Pobrecito sol disidente, nunca cae por el horizonte

Vencido

Hoy en la foto en la pared nos estamos divirtiendo y ay, ay, ay

¿Será que me cuesta separar el presente del ayer?

Cuando todo parecía encajar, casi sin hablar

Pero se acabó de pronto la luz, adiós cielo azul

Llegó la tormenta

Sin ti, mirar al mar, ¡qué va!

Lo tengo pendiente, seguir adelante

Sin ti, ni respirar, ¡qué va!

Perdí de repente las ganas del aire

Sin ti, mirar al mar, ¡qué va!

Lo tengo pendiente, seguir adelante

Sin ti, ni respirar, ¡qué va!

Perdí de repente las ganas del aire

Sin ti, uh-uh-uh

Sin ti, uh-uh-uh
