[English]

A leaf falls

A flower that withers

A sunset

Won’t return

Stop dreaming

Looking at the past

You can act

Find your own path

Discovering the nobility within you

A rough diamond to polish

A new awakening

Make it different

Don’t let yourself fall

Condemned to repeat

A day when

Nothing good will happen

Today you must enjoy

As if there’s no tomorrow

Stop crying

Stop looking back

Without fear, you can rise and walk

Give me a reason

To no longer fight for

Without a doubt, you can face reality

It’s in your hands

To choose your destiny

If you want to change

Step out of your shell

Hiding won’t fix anything

You’ll only waste your life

Be brave and fight for yourself

Stop crying

Stop looking back

Without fear, you can rise and walk

Give me a reason

To no longer fight for

Without a doubt, you can face reality

Stop suffering

Stop lying to yourself

Stop running away

Stop hiding

Stop dying

Break free from the silence

Stop crying

Stop looking back

Without fear, you can rise and walk

Give me a reason

To no longer fight for

Without a doubt, you can face reality

[Spanish]

Una hoja cae

Una flor que muere

Un atardecer

No volverá

Deja de soñar

Mirando al pasado

Puedes actuar

Tu camino haz de hallar

Descubriendo la nobleza que hay en ti

Un diamante en bruto que pulir

Nuevo despertar

Haz que sea distinto

No debes caer

Condenando a repetir

Un día en el que

Nada bueno ocurrirá

Hoy tienes que disfrutar

Como si no fuera a haber un mañana

Deja de Llorar

Deja de mirar atrás

Sin miedo puedes levantarte y caminar

Dame una razón

Por la cuál ya no luchar

Sin duda puedes afrontar la realidad

En tu mano está

Escoger tu destino

Si quieres cambiar

Sal de tu caparazón

Escondiendote nada vas a arreglar

Solamente tirarás tu vida

Sé valiente y lucha por ti

Deja de llorar

Deja de mirar atras

Sin miedo puedes levantarte y caminar

Dame una razón

Por la cual ya no luchar

Sin duda puedes afrontar la realidad

Deja de sufrir

Deja de mentirte

Deja de huir

Deja de esconderte

Deja de morir

Del silencio has de escapar

Deja de llorar

Deja de mirar atras

Sin miedo puedes levantarte y caminar

Dame una razón

Por la cual ya no luchar

Sin duda puedes afrontar la realidad
