[English]

I've come this far because I never stopped searching for you.

I've learned to live the journey and I don't want to go back.

And I also don't want the endings to hurt me.

The miseries,

The angry fools,

Cardboard hugs.

From afar I saw you,

...

From afar you've made me happy.

And I don't want to stop looking for you on this path.

I've told you I don't know you, and I love you from afar.

...

And I swear it's worth falling and breaking your face,

Such a big gift to learn from what hurt us.

What a gift to be on this journey,

Of wild romantics,

Exiled dreamers,

Walkers of love.

From afar I saw you, from afar you've made me happy.

And I don't want to stop looking for you on this path.

I've told you I don't know you, and I love you from afar,

From afar.

I don't want to stop searching for you on this journey.

I've told you I don't know you, and I love you from afar.

From afar.

I'll search for you tirelessly, I won't stop walking,

I'll search for you tirelessly, I won't stop walking,

I'll search for you tirelessly, I won't stop walking.

I've come this far because I never stopped searching for you.

[Spanish]

He llegado hasta aquí porque nunca dejé de buscarte.

He aprendido a vivir el camino y no quiero volver.

Y tampoco quiero que me duelan los finales

Las miserias

Los idiotas enfadados

Los abrazos de cartón.

De lejos te vi

de lejos me has hecho feliz.

Y no quiero dejar de buscarte por este camino.

Te he contado que no te conozco y te quiero de lejos.

Y te juro que vale la pena caer y romperse la cara,

que regalo tan grande aprender de lo que nos dolió.

Que regalo estar en este viaje

De románticos salvajes,

Soñadores desterrados

Caminantes del amor

De lejos te vi, de lejos me has hecho feliz.

Y no quiero dejar de buscarte por este camino.

Te he contado que no te conozco y te quiero de lejos

De lejos

Yo no quiero dejar de buscarte por este camino.

Te he contado que no te conozco y te quiero de lejos

De lejos

Te buscaré sin descansar, no dejaré de caminar

Te buscaré sin descansar, no dejaré de caminar

Te buscaré sin descansar, no dejaré de caminar

He llegado hasta aquí porque nunca dejé de buscarte
