[English]

Now that everything is silent

And calmness kisses my heart

I want to say goodbye

Because the time has come

For you to walk the path without me

There’s so much to live for

Don’t cry, my love

And fall in love again

I’d love to see you smile once more

But, my life, I’ll never forget you

Only the wind knows what you’ve suffered to love me

There are so many things I never told you in life

That you’re everything I love

And now that I’m no longer by your side

I’ll watch over you from here

I know guilt haunts you

And whispers in your ear, "I could’ve done more"

There’s nothing to blame

There are no demons at the bottom of the glass anymore

And I only drink to all the kisses I never gave you

But, my life, I’ll never forget you

Only the wind knows what you’ve suffered to love me

There are so many things I never told you in life

That you’re everything I love

And now that I’m no longer by your side

I live every time you speak of me

And die again if you cry

I’ve finally learned to enjoy

And I’m happy

Don’t cry, my love

And fall in love again

Never forget me

I have to go

But, my life, I’ll never forget you

Only the wind knows what you’ve suffered to love me

There are so many things I never told you in life

That you’re everything I love

And now that I’m no longer by your side

From my heaven, I’ll wrap you in the night

And rock you in your dreams

And chase away all your fears

From my heaven, I’ll wait for you, writing

I’m not alone, for freedom and hope watch over me

I’ll never forget you

...

[Spanish]

Ahora que está todo en silencio

Y que la calma me besa el corazón

Os quiero decir adiós

Porque ha llegado la hora

De que andéis el camino ya sin mí

Hay tanto por lo que vivir

No llores, cielo

Y vuélvete a enamorar

Me gustaría volver a verte sonreír

Pero, mi vida, yo nunca podré olvidarte

Y solo el viento sabe lo que has sufrido por amarme

Hay tantas cosas que nunca te dije en vida

Que eres todo cuanto amo

Y ahora que ya no estoy junto a ti

Te cuidaré desde aquí

Sé que la culpa os acosa

Y os susurra al oído: "pude hacer más"

No hay nada que reprochar

Ya no hay demonios en el fondo del cristal

Y solo bebo todos los besos que no te di

Pero, mi vida, yo nunca podré olvidarte

Y solo el viento sabe lo que has sufrido por amarme

Hay tantas cosas que nunca te dije en vida

Que eres todo cuanto amo

Y ahora que ya no estoy junto a ti

Vivo cada vez que habláis de mí

Y muero otra vez si lloráis

He aprendido al fin a disfrutar

Y soy feliz

No llores, cielo

Y vuélvete a enamorar

Nunca me olvides

Me tengo que marchar

Pero, mi vida, yo nunca podré olvidarte

Y solo el viento sabe lo que has sufrido por amarme

Hay tantas cosas que nunca te dije en vida

Que eres todo cuanto amo

Y ahora que ya no estoy junto a ti

Desde mi cielo os arroparé en la noche

Y os acunaré en los sueños

Y espantaré todos los miedos

Desde mi cielo os esperaré escribiendo

No estoy solo, pues me cuidan la libertad y la esperanza

Yo nunca os olvidaré
