[English]

I've already seen the light and I pray to the moon

Just in case they help me

And I pray to love, just in case it gives me courage

Just in case it helps me

I swear to tell the truth

And nothing but the truth

I've had good times, I've had bad times

I've felt good and I've felt bad

But I would do it all again

Risk it all just the same

And I'd win again and I'd lose again

I'd fly again and I'd fall again

...

I want to tell you that I burned

Every bridge every single time

Just so that in truth

Whether facing it or escaping

I would always be ineligible

I want to tell you that I spent

All my time describing

A paradise on a piece of paper

Where we can live

And nothing is unintelligible

...

Nothing stops me or touches me

There are no soles left on my boots

And I go, letting myself fall

Giving it my all

Giving it my all

Because there's no turning back now

And deep down, I find no explanation

The two of us aren't from this world

Neither you nor I

Love, we have nothing left here, let's go

Neither you nor I

We couldn't care less about the world, nothing at all

...

I've already seen the light and I pray to the moon

Just in case they help me

And I pray to love, just in case it gives me courage

Just in case it helps me

And this whole world is rotten, unbalanced

We haven't passed through here yet

So much shit on this side, on this side of the river

We haven't passed through here yet

Neither you nor I

...

Maybe today I'm not understood well

And maybe tomorrow I won't be understood

And the blame will fall on me

For always speaking under my breath

Nothing stops me or touches me

There are no soles left on my boots

And I go, letting myself fall

Letting myself go

Giving it my all

Because there's no turning back now

And deep down, I find no explanation

The two of us aren't from this world

Neither you nor I

Love, we have nothing left here, let's go

Neither you nor I

We couldn't care less about the world, nothing at all

Neither you nor I

Love, we have nothing left here, let's go

Neither you nor I

We couldn't care less about the world, nothing at all

...

[Spanish]

Yo ya he visto la luz y le rezo a la luna

Por si me ayudan

Y le rezo al amor por si me da valor

Por si me ayuda

Juro decir la verdad

Y solamente la verdad

Lo he pasado bien, lo he pasado mal

Me he sentido bien y me he sentido mal

Pero volvería a hacerlo igual

Arriesgarlo todo igual

Y volvería a ganar y volvería perder

Volvería a volar y volvería a caer

Quiero decirte que quemé

Todas las naves cada vez

Solo para que de verdad

Plantar cara o escapar

Me fuera siempre inelegible

Quiero decirte que empeñé

Todo mi tiempo en describir

Un paraíso en un papel

Donde podamos vivir

Y nada sea ininteligible

Nada me detiene ni me toca

No hay suela debajo de mis botas

Y voy, dejándome caer

Dejándome llevar

Dejándome la piel

Que ya no hay vuelva atrás

Y en algo más profundo, no encuentro explicación

No somos de este mundo nosotros dos

Ni tú ni yo

Amor, aquí ya no nos queda nada, vámonos

Ni tú ni yo

El mundo no nos interesa nada, nada

Yo ya he visto la luz y le rezo a la luna

Por si me ayudan

Y le rezo al amor, por si me da valor

Por si me ayuda

Y este mundo está podrido entero, desequilibrado

Por aquí no hemos pasado aún

Cuánta mierda en este lado, en este lado del río

Por aquí no hemos pasado aún

Ni tú ni yo

Puede que hoy no se me entienda bien

Y puede que mañana no se entienda

Y que la culpa caiga sobre mí

Por hablar siempre entre dientes

Nada me detiene ni me toca

No hay suela debajo de mis botas

Y voy, dejándome caer

Dejándome llevar

Dejándome la piel

Que ya no hay vuelva atrás

Y en algo más profundo, no encuentro explicación

No somos de este mundo nosotros dos

Ni tú ni yo

Amor, aquí ya no nos queda nada, vámonos

Ni tú ni yo

El mundo no nos interesa nada, nada

Ni tú ni yo

Amor, aquí ya no nos queda nada, vámonos

Ni tú ni yo

El mundo no nos interesa nada, nada
