[English]

I'm looking for someone who wants to help me

And can understand me

And wants to get me out of here.

...

I want to find someone at last

Who can understand me and comprehend

I want to feel a new love

An illusion to live for

To bare my soul in broad daylight

And scream with kisses that I adore your voice.

...

I've already lost all hope

Of finding someone like that

But if you're here and you hear me at last

Pay attention because I want to tell you

I'll take you to the end

I'll kiss you by the sea

To bare my soul in broad daylight

And scream with kisses that I adore your voice

To bare my soul in broad daylight

And wrap your dreams in gold and passion

...

I don't tire of searching

I don't tire of inventing

For my lonely solitude

We could reinvent

The word old age

The word friendship

Because all I'm looking for

Is a friend, nothing more

Who understands my madness

Without thinking of anything else

And walking through the earth

I will keep looking for someone

(Who can help me)

I will keep looking for someone

(Who can understand me)

I will keep looking for someone

(Who can help me)

I will keep looking for someone

(Who can understand me)

I will keep looking for someone.

...

[Spanish]

Busco a alguien que me quiera ayudar

Y me pueda entender

Y me quiera sacar de aquí.

Quiero encontrar alguien al fin

Que pueda entenderme y comprender

Un nuevo amor quiero sentir

Una ilusión para vivir

Para desnudar el alma a plena luz del sol

Y gritarle a besos que adoro su voz.

Yo ya perdí toda ilusión

De encontrarme a alguien así

Pero si estas y me oyes al fin

Pon me atención que te quiero decir

Te llevare hasta el final

Te besaré a la orilla del mar

Para desnudar el alma a plena luz del sol

Y gritarte a besos que adoro tu voz

Para desnudar el alma a plena luz del sol

Y envolver tus sueños en oro y pasión

No me canso de buscar

No me canso de inventar

Para mi sólita soledad

Podríamos reinventar

La palabra antigüedad

La palabra amistad

Pues lo único que busco

Es un amigo nada más

Que comprenda mi locura

Sin pensar en nada más

Y caminando por la tierra

Yo seguiré buscando a alguien

(Que me pueda ayudar)

Yo seguiré buscando a alguien

(Que me pueda entender)

Yo seguiré buscando a alguien

(Que me pueda ayudar)

Yo seguiré buscando a alguien

(Que me pueda entender)

Yo seguiré buscando a alguien.
