[English]

I was walking through the streets soaked in oblivion

...

I was going through parks with ghosts and fallen angels

...

I was without light, I was without sun

I was without a meaning

I was dying

I was flying over the sea

With broken wings

...

Oh, love, you appeared in my life and healed my wounds

...

Oh, love, you are my moon, you are my sun, you are my daily bread

...

You appeared with your light

No, never leave

Oh, don't go, no

You are the glory of us both

Until death

...

In a world of illusion

I was hopeless

I was abandoned

I was living without meaning

But you came

Oh, love

You are my religion

You are light, you are my sun

Open your heart

Open your heart

...

A long time ago, sweetheart

I was living the pain in oblivion

...

Oh, love, you are my blessing, my religion

You are my sun that cures the cold

...

And you appeared with your light

No, no, don't abandon me

No, never, my love

Glory of us both

You are sun, you are my everything

Everything, you are a blessing

In a world of illusion

I was hopeless

I was abandoned

I was living without meaning

But you came

Oh, love

You are my religion

You are light, you are my sun

Open your heart

Open your heart

Oh, love

You are my blessing

You are light, you are my sun

Open your heart

Open, open your heart

I will always live by your side

With your light (oh-oh-oh)

I will die being by your side

You are glory and blessing, oh, yeah (oh-oh-oh)

You are my blessing

You are my religion, yeah (oh-oh-oh)

You are my eternity

And you are even salvation (oh-oh-oh)

I had nothing

And today I have you with the glory

With the glory, with the glory

Love, love, love, love, love

You are my blessing

You are my light, you are my sun

...

[Spanish]

Iba caminando por las calles empapadas en olvido

Iba por los parques con fantasmas y con ángeles caídos

Iba sin luz, iba sin sol

Iba sin un sentido

Iba muriéndome

Iba volando sobre el mar

Con las alas rotas

Ay, amor, apareciste en mi vida y me curaste las heridas

Ay, amor, eres mi luna, eres mi sol, eres mi pan de cada día

Apareciste con tu luz

No, nunca te vayas

Oh, no te vayas, no

Tú eres la gloria de los dos

Hasta la muerte

En un mundo de ilusión

Yo estaba desahuciado

Yo estaba abandonado

Vivía sin sentido

Pero llegaste tú

Ay, amor

Tú eres mi religión

Tú eres luz, tú eres mi sol

Abre el corazón

Abre el corazón

Hace tanto tiempo, corazón

Vivía el dolor en el olvido

Ay, amor, eres mi bendición, mi religión

Eres mi sol que cura el frío

Y apareciste con tu luz

No, no, no me abandones

No, nunca, mi amor

Gloria de los dos

Tú eres sol, tú eres mi todo

Todo, tú eres bendición

En un mundo de ilusión

Yo estaba desahuciado

Yo estaba abandonado

Vivía sin sentido

Pero llegaste tú

Ay, amor

Tú eres mi religión

Tú eres luz, tú eres mi sol

Abre el corazón

Abre el corazón

Ay, amor

Tú eres mi bendición

Tú eres luz, tú eres mi sol

Abre el corazón

Abre, abre el corazón

Viviré siempre a tu lado

Con tu luz (oh-oh-oh)

Moriré estando a tu lado

Eres gloria y bendición, oh, yeh (oh-oh-oh)

Eres tu mi bendición

Eres tú mi religión, yeh (oh-oh-oh)

Eres tú mi eternidad

Y hasta eres salvación (oh-oh-oh)

No tenía nada

Y hoy te tengo con la gloria

Con la gloria, con la gloria

Amor, amor, amor, amor, amor

Eres tú mi bendición

Eres mi luz, eres mi sol
