[English]

Pure goddess

Pure goddess

I need you

You make me shine

You make me shine in the darkest night

Please, come down from heaven

I want to caress your hair

If I could hold you

I no longer care to die

And it's that no one has ever made me feel

Like you, my beloved

And every night you watch over me

Pure Goddess, you who shine

Pure Goddess

Turn your beautiful face to us

Without cloud and without veil

Pure Goddess, you who shine

Pure Goddess

Turn your beautiful face to us

Without cloud and without veil

And without veil

Pure goddess

You have seen me feel

Since the day I was born

Embrace me and say

“Everything is alright”

I need to feel

That I am loved with madness

I have lost myself in excess

Pain down to the bone

And to curl up at your feet

The sky is going to cry

And it's that no one has ever made me feel

Like you, my beloved

And every night you watch over me

...

Casta diva

Casta diva

Necesito de ti

Tú que me haces brillar

Tú me haces brillar en la noche más oscura

Por favor, baja del cielo

Quiero acariciarte el pelo

Si pudiera abrazarte

Ya no me importa morir

Y es que nadie me ha podido hacer sentir

Como tú, amada mía

Y cada noche tú cuidas de mí

Casta Diva, che inargenti

Casta Diva

A noi volgi il bel sembiante

Senza nube e senza vel

Casta Diva, che inargenti

Casta Diva

A noi volgi il bel sembiante

Senza nube e senza vel

E senza vel

Casta diva

Tú me has visto sentir

Desde el día en que nací

Abrázame y di

"Todo está bien"

Necesito sentir

Que me aman con locura

Me he perdido en los excesos

El dolor hasta en los huesos

Y en tus pies acurrucarme

El cielo va a llorar

Y es que nadie me ha podido hacer sentir

Como tú, amada mía

Y cada noche cuidas de mí
