Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

Fue un segundo tan incandescente

It was such an incandescent second

Me sentí tan diferente

I felt so different

Y ya no pude pensar

And I could no longer think

Un dolor tan hondo y cristalino

A pain so deep and clear

Un recuerdo del destino

A memory of destiny

Una luz en la ciudad

A light in the city

Seguí su fuego brillando en el cielo

I followed your fire shining in the sky

Te encontré, te encontré

I found you, I found you

Y me desperté

And I woke up

Te encontré, te encontré

I found you, I found you

Y me desperté

And I woke up

...

...

Y sonó una triste melodía

And a sad melody played

Que me dio tanta alegría

That brought me so much joy

Solo yo pude escuchar, ahh

Only I could hear it, ahh

Fuiste una presencia tan ausente

You were such an absent presence

Que brillaba entre la gente

That shone among the people

Que me hizo recordar

That made me remember

Seguí tu fuego brillando en el cielo

I followed your fire shining in the sky

Te encontré, te encontré

I found you, I found you

Y me desperté

And I woke up

Te encontré, te encontré

I found you, I found you

Y me desperté

And I woke up

Lejos, veo tu reflejo

Far away, I see your reflection

Rojo como el sol, oh ohh oh

Red like the sun, oh ohh oh

Ohh oh oh ohh

Ohh oh oh ohh

...

...

Ohh oh oh ohh

Ohh oh oh ohh

Ohh oh oh ohh

Ohh oh oh ohh

...

...
