[English]

It was such an incandescent second

I felt so different

And I could no longer think

A pain so deep and clear

A memory of destiny

A light in the city

I followed your fire shining in the sky

I found you, I found you

And I woke up

I found you, I found you

And I woke up

...

And a sad melody played

That brought me so much joy

Only I could hear it, ahh

You were such an absent presence

That shone among the people

That made me remember

I followed your fire shining in the sky

I found you, I found you

And I woke up

I found you, I found you

And I woke up

Far away, I see your reflection

Red like the sun, oh ohh oh

Ohh oh oh ohh

...

Ohh oh oh ohh

Ohh oh oh ohh

...

[Spanish]

Fue un segundo tan incandescente

Me sentí tan diferente

Y ya no pude pensar

Un dolor tan hondo y cristalino

Un recuerdo del destino

Una luz en la ciudad

Seguí su fuego brillando en el cielo

Te encontré, te encontré

Y me desperté

Te encontré, te encontré

Y me desperté

Y sonó una triste melodía

Que me dio tanta alegría

Solo yo pude escuchar, ahh

Fuiste una presencia tan ausente

Que brillaba entre la gente

Que me hizo recordar

Seguí tu fuego brillando en el cielo

Te encontré, te encontré

Y me desperté

Te encontré, te encontré

Y me desperté

Lejos, veo tu reflejo

Rojo como el sol, oh ohh oh

Ohh oh oh ohh

Ohh oh oh ohh

Ohh oh oh ohh
