[English]

Again alone, just you and me

A lake and a song

I miss hearing your voice

...

A star eclipsed you

Moments that will never return, feeling your skin

I held you in my arms yesterday

There are so many things I want to tell you

Come closer

Sometimes I feel awakening

Your warmth like a whisper

She can't stop thinking

That one day she will find you

Hold me, don't let me go, I want to sit at your feet

I held you in my arms yesterday

There are so many things I want to tell you

Tell me why

...

Just you, you and me

A guitar, the lake and a song

Just you, you and me

Now I can finally say goodbye to you

...

Again alone, just you and me

A lake and a song

I miss hearing your voice

A star eclipsed you

It eclipsed you (na‑na‑na, na‑na‑na‑na‑na)

Na‑na‑na, na‑na‑na‑na‑na

It eclipsed you

Na‑na‑na, na‑na‑na‑na‑na

...

[Spanish]

De nuevo solos, tú y yo

Un lago y una canción

Echo de menos oír tu voz

Una estrella te eclipsó

Los momentos que no volverán a sentir tu piel

En mis brazos te tuve ayer

Hay tantas cosas que te quiero decir

Acércate

A veces siento el despertar

Como un susurro tu calor

Ella no deja de pensar

Que un día te encontrará

Cógeme, no me dejes marchar, quiero sentarme a tus pies

En mis brazos te tuve ayer

Hay tantas cosas que te quiero decir

Dime por qué

Solo tú, tú y yo

Una guitarra, el lago y una canción

Solo tú, tú y yo

Ahora ya te puedo decir adiós

De nuevo solos, tú y yo

Un lago y una canción

Echo de menos oír tu voz

Una estrella te eclipsó

Te eclipsó (na-na-na, na-na-na-na-ná)

Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-ná

Te eclipsó

Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-ná
