[English]

A blue star stands before me

like a hurricane, I feel it rising,

a red light of fury within me

I manage to awaken once again

the power of a swan taking flight

it’s the sun, colored blue

that I have before me, it soothes and burns me.

So different yet united by that same heart

the hope of seeing their passion finally emerge.

Brothers in heart, a fight to the death

always ends with a kiss

the same dream

since childhood

both chose their destiny

together, red and blue!

they’ll see they’ve achieved

everything they wrote.

No one can stop

the path they began to carve.

It’s hard, to stay standing

and it’s the long journey

that’s always uphill

their song lies at the end

of a damn stretch

that sometimes stinks.

There are parasites that bite and want to see you bleed

they can feed on your magic and consume your determination.

Brothers in heart, a fight to the death

always ends with a kiss

the same dream

since childhood

both chose their destiny

together, red and blue!

they’ll see they’ve achieved

everything they wrote.

No one can stop

the path they began to carve.

So different yet united by that same heart

the hope of seeing their passion finally emerge.

Brothers in heart, a fight to the death

always ends with a kiss

the same dream

since childhood

both chose their destiny

together, red and blue!

they’ll see they’ve achieved

everything they wrote.

No one can stop

the path they began to carve.

[Spanish]

Astro azul de frente a mi

como un huracan siento como se eleva,

roja luz de furia en mi

logro despertar otra vez

el poder de un cisne echandose a volar

es el sol color azul

que tengo ante mi, que me alivia y me quema.

Tan distintos pero unidos por ese mismo corazon

la ilusion de ver que por fin su pasion va a surgir.

Hermanos de corazon una lucha a muerte

siempre acaba con un beso

una misma ilusion

desde niños

ambos eligieron su destino

juntos rojo y azul!

veran conseguido

todo aquello que escibieron.

Nadie podra parar

el sendero que ellos comenzaron a surcar.

Duro es, seguir en pie

y es el largo viaje

que siempre está en cuesta

su canción se halla al final

de un maldito trecho

que a veces apesta.

Hay parásitos que muerden y quieren verte desangrar

pueden subsistir de tu magia y teson consumir.

Hermanos de corazon una lucha a muerte

siempre acaba con un beso

una misma ilusion

desde niños

ambos eligieron su destino

juntos rojo y azul!

veran conseguido

todo aquello que escibieron.

Nadie podra parar

el sendero que ellos comenzaron a surcar.

Tan distintos pero unidos por ese mismo corazon

la ilusion de ver que por fin su pasion va a surgir.

Hermanos de corazon una lucha a muerte

siempre acaba con un beso

una misma ilusion

desde niños

ambos eligieron su destino

juntos rojo y azul!

veran conseguido

todo aquello que escibieron.

Nadie podra parar

el sendero que ellos comenzaron a surcar.
