[English]

I come to tell you the same

That I’ve told you so many times

That small thing costs me little

And you’ve never heard it

Little one, of endless doubts

I'll be waiting here as long as I live

...

I come to say that time

That we’ve already lost

Is just a tiny point

In the sky of forgetfulness

All the pain I have

And what we’ve already suffered

Has to mean something

So you’ve learned

That like I sometimes dream

No one has dreamed of you

That like I miss you so much

There’s no punishment in the world

Little one, of endless doubts

I'll be waiting here as long as I live

Don’t let all this end in nothing

Because now you’re scared

I come to say I’m sorry

Even if I have no reason

So that when you’re alone

You feel I’m still by your side

So that you feel you always have

A friend by your side

Because I don’t want to lose you

I don’t want to be the one lost

That like I sometimes dream

No one has dreamed of you

That like I miss you so much

There’s no punishment in the world

Little one, of endless doubts

I'll be waiting here as long as I live

Don’t let all this end in nothing

Because now you’re scared

...

Little one, of endless doubts

I'll be waiting here as long as I live

Don’t let all this end in nothing

Because now you’re scared

Relax, the moon doesn’t go out

Its light always keeps us safe

It always keeps us safe

It always keeps us safe

...

[Spanish]

Vengo a decirte lo mismo

Que tantas veces te he dicho

Eso que poco me cuesta

Y que tú nunca has oído

Pequeña de las dudas infinitas

Aquí estaré esperando mientras viva

Vengo a decirte que el tiempo

Que ya llevamos perdido

Es solo un punto pequeño

En el cielo del olvido

Que todo el daño que tengo

Y lo que ya hemos sufrido

Tiene que servir de algo

Para que hayas aprendido

Que como yo a veces sueño

Nadie ha soñado contigo

Que como te echo de menos

No hay en el mundo un castigo

Pequeña de las dudas infinitas

Aquí estaré esperando mientras viva

No dejes que todo esto quede en nada

Porque ahora estés asustada

Vengo a decir que lo siento

Aunque no tenga un motivo

Para que cuando estés sola

Sientas que a tu lado sigo

Para que sientas que tienes

Siempre a tu lado un amigo

Porque no quiero perderte

No quiero ser yo el perdido

Que como yo a veces sueño

Nadie ha soñado contigo

Que como te echo de menos

No hay en el mundo un castigo

Pequeña de las dudas infinitas

Aquí estaré esperando mientras viva

No dejes que todo esto quede en nada

Porque ahora estés asustada

Pequeña de las dudas infinitas

Aquí estaré esperando mientras viva

No dejes que todo esto quede en nada

Porque ahora estés asustada

Tranquila, que la luna no se apaga

Que su luz siempre nos guarda

Siempre nos guarda

Siempre nos guarda
