[English]

I return to my reality

Without storms to cross

...

When you see that not everything is black and white

In the darkness, filled with light, I find you

...

More of you, my awakening

And my deepest peace

And now that I surrender my whole soul

You will see me running among ghosts

...

Today I find you in my universe

...

And in my mind, you will orbit

You will break down the doors that stopped

My walk, so slow but certain

More of you, my dawn

...

I say goodbye to yesterday

...

And now that I surrender my whole soul

You will see me running among ghosts

And now that I surrender my whole soul

You will see me running among ghosts

...

[Spanish]

Vuelvo a mi realidad

Sin tormentas que cruzar

Cuando vez que no todo es blanco y negro

En la oscuridad lleno de luz te encuentro

Más de ti mi despertar

Y mi más profunda paz

Y ahora que cedo entera el alma

Me verás corriendo entre fantasmas

Hoy te encuentro en mi universo

Y en mi mente orbitarás

Derribarás las puertas que detuvieron

Mi caminar tan lento pero certero

Más de ti mi amanecer

Me despido del ayer

Y ahora que cedo entera el alma

Me verás corriendo entre fantasmas

Y ahora que cedo entera el alma

Me verás corriendo entre fantasmas
