[English]

No, tonight, my love, I haven't, I haven't thought of you

I opened my eyes to see around me

And around me, the world was spinning as always

...

The world spins, spins

In infinite space

With loves that begin

With loves that have gone

With the sorrows and joys of people like me

The world

Crying now, I search for you

And in the silence, I lose myself

And I am nothing when I see you

The world

Hasn't stopped for a moment

Its night dies and the day arrives

And that day will come

...

I, who still thought you were something special

Later, life has taught me much more

That not everything revolves around you as always

The world spins, spins

In infinite space

With loves that begin

With loves that have gone

With the sorrows and joys of people like me

The world

Crying now, I search for you

And in the silence, I lose myself

And I am nothing when I see you

The world

Hasn't stopped for a moment

Its night dies and the day arrives

And that day will come

...

[Spanish]

No, esta noche amor yo no, yo no he pensado en ti

Abrí los ojos para ver en torno a mi

Y en torno a mi giraba el mundo como siempre

Gira el mundo gira

En el espacio infinito

Con amores que comienzan

Con amores que se han ido

Con las penas y alegrías de la gente como yo

El mundo

Llorando ahora yo te busco

Y en el silencio yo me pierdo

Y no soy nada al verte a ti

El mundo

No se ha parado ni un momento

Su noche muere y llega el día

Y ese día vendrá

Yo, que aún pensaba que eras algo especial

Después la vida me ha enseñado mucho más

Que en torno a ti no gira todo como siempre

Gira el mundo gira

En el espacio infinito

Con amores que comienzan

Con amores que se han ido

Con las penas y alegrías de la gente como yo

El mundo

Llorando ahora yo te busco

Y en el silencio yo me pierdo

Y no soy nada al verte a ti

El mundo

No se ha parado ni un momento

Su noche muere y llega el día

Y ese día vendrá
