[Español]

[English]

Buscando una señal en medio de la nada

Searching for a sign in the middle of nowhere

Agoté mis recursos y no funcionó

I exhausted my resources and it didn't work

Sin saber qué hacer, sintiendo así

Not knowing what to do, feeling this way

Que mi mundo terminó

That my world has ended

...

...

Tanto dolor sentía mi alma

So much pain my soul felt

Sin saber qué hacer, me inundaba el temor

Not knowing what to do, fear overwhelmed me

Y se escuchó una voz

And a voice was heard

Que mi nombre llamaba, devolviéndome la calma

Calling my name, bringing me back to calm

Y me dice que todo estará bien

And it tells me that everything will be alright

...

...

Y me infunde aliento y fe

And it fills me with breath and faith

Y aprendí a dormir en la tempestad

And I learned to sleep in the storm

Tu amor me enseñó a descansar

Your love taught me to rest

Y me convencí que no hay nadie más

And I convinced myself that there is no one else

Que me pueda brindar esa paz

Who can give me that peace

Que solo tú das

That only you provide

...

...

Cuando el viento me arrastró, y todo se llevó

When the wind swept me away, and took everything

Me sentí tan vacía, tan falta de amor

I felt so empty, so lacking in love

Mas escuché una voz

But I heard a voice

Que mi nombre llamaba, devolviéndome la calma

Calling my name, bringing me back to calm

Y me dice que todo estará bien

And it tells me that everything will be alright

Y me infunde aliento y fe

And it fills me with breath and faith

Y aprendí a dormir en la tempestad

And I learned to sleep in the storm

Tu amor me enseñó a descansar

Your love taught me to rest

Y me convencí que no hay nadie más

And I convinced myself that there is no one else

Que me pueda brindar esa paz

Who can give me that peace

Que solo tú das

That only you provide

Lléname de ti

Fill me with you

Yo quiero más

I want more

Más de tu paz

More of your peace

Y aprendí a dormir en la tempestad

And I learned to sleep in the storm

Tu amor me enseñó a descansar

Your love taught me to rest

Y me convencí que no hay nadie más

And I convinced myself that there is no one else

Que me pueda brindar esa paz

Who can give me that peace

Que solo tú das, oh-oh-uh

That only you provide, oh-oh-uh

Que solo tú das

That only you provide

Tú me das la paz

You give me peace

Tú me das la paz, oh-oh, oh-oh

You give me peace, oh-oh, oh-oh

Me das libertad

You give me freedom

Me das libertad

You give me freedom

...
