[English]

Everyone blames me for what I did

But no one speaks the truth here

They think life is eternal

They believe they have it all, but it’s not like that

And it takes courage

To keep moving forward

Carrying this weight in solitude

...

Woah!

...

Mute, blind, foolish, silly man

When you open your eyes, it’ll be too late

I’m waiting for my comeback

They can’t defeat me, I am reality

The battle will be

As noble as the truth

I’ve always fought until the end

...

Like thunder, I returned

Old sword shining in the sun

From another time, it will come

With its magic to fight

Everyone told me, “It can’t be done”

...

I was so alone in a storm

Submerged in mud all the time

I could see their eyes, I could see the evil

Now I can shout

I don’t want to stay silent

I’ve always fought until the end

Until the end

...

Until the end

Fight

...

Until the end

Until the end

Until the end

Fighting until the end, oh, no, no, oh!

...

[Spanish]

Todos me reprochan lo que hice

Pero nadie dice una verdad aquí

Piensan que la vida es eterna

Creen tenerlo todo, pero no es así

Y hace falta valor

Para poder continuar

Cargando este peso en soledad

¡Woah!

Mudo, ciego, necio, hombre tonto

Cuando abras los ojos muy tarde será

Estoy esperando la revancha

No podrán vencerme, soy la realidad

La batalla será

Digna como la verdad

He luchado siempre hasta el final

Como el trueno regresó

Vieja espada brilla al sol

De otros tiempos va a venir

Con su magia a combatir

Todos me decían: "no se puede"

Estaba muy solo en una tempestad

Sumergido en lodo todo el tiempo

Pude ver sus ojos, pude ver el mal

Ahora puedo gritar

No lo quiero callar

He luchado siempre hasta el final

Hasta el final

Hasta el final

Luchar

Hasta el final

Hasta el final

Hasta el final

Luchando hasta el final, ¡oh, no, no, oh!
