[English]

Just a single moment

A final scream

A life torn away

A million laments

...

The image of an angel

With an eternal smile

Sweet innocence

Heaven in her eyes

...

I just can't understand

What dark reason

Could move the mind

There is no more hope

Only desperation

Only helplessness and tears

...

There are no more tears left to cry

Tired of loving, I find no other end

And the pain grows stronger

Passions drowned, dreams left to fulfill

...

This is what I wish for, to finally rest

No more suffering

I throw myself into the void

The rope grows tense

A faint heartbeat

It is my last breath

...

There are no more tears left to cry

Tired of loving, I find no other end

And the pain grows stronger

Passions drowned, dreams left to fulfill

...

This is what I wish for, to finally rest

No more suffering

Time, as you drag away my dreams

Why do you keep stealing the past?

Innocence falls silent and you leave me

Naked before my loneliness

...

[Spanish]

Un solo instante

Un último grito

Una vida arrancada

Millón de lamentos

La imagen de un ángel

De sonrisa eterna

La dulce inocencia

El cielo en sus ojos

No logro entenderlo

Qué oscuro motivo

Puede a la razón

Ya no hay esperanza

Solo desesperación

Solo impotencia y llanto

No quedan más lágrimas que derramar

Cansada de amar, no encuentro otro final

Y el dolor se acrecienta

Pasiones ahogadas, sueños por realizar

Así lo deseo, por fin descansar

Ya no más sufrimiento

Me arrojo al vacío

La cuerda se tensa

Un leve latido

Es mi último aliento

No quedan más lágrimas que derramar

Cansada de amar, no encuentro otro final

Y el dolor se acrecienta

Pasiones ahogadas sueños por realizar

Así lo deseo, por fin descansar

Ya no más sufrimiento

Tiempo, que arrastrando te llevas mis sueños

¿Por qué vas robando el pasado?

La inocencia enmudece y me dejas

Desnudo ante mi soledad
