[English]

There is a blue sky and you, looking me straight in the eyes, oh, oh

And even the sun that watched us both seemed to be smiling

Poor little smiling sun, it fell below the horizon

Defeated

There is an endless beach and some musicians playing, oh, oh

And even the sea seemed to enjoy wetting our feet

And everything seemed to fall into place and, almost without realizing it

The light suddenly went out, goodbye blue sky

The storm has arrived

Without you, looking at the sea, no way!

I still have to do it, keep moving forward

Without you, I can't even breathe, no way!

I suddenly lost the will to breathe

Without you, uh-uh-uh

Without you, uh-uh-uh

...

There is a photo on the wall, time doesn't pass in here

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

Poor little rebel sun, it never sets below the horizon

Defeated

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

Is it because I struggle to separate the present from yesterday?

When everything seemed to fall into place, 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 still have to do it, keep moving forward

Without you, I can't even breathe, no way!

I suddenly lost the will to breathe

Without you, looking at the sea, no way!

I still have to do it, keep moving forward

Without you, I can't even breathe, no way!

I suddenly lost the will to breathe

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
