[English]

To feel freedom

Like a bird returning to its home

To search deep within yourself

Is to be able to give life a different color

I will open the gates of heaven

I will burn for you

I will melt your ice with fire

I will give you peace

To be able to express

The silence written upon a page

To be able to sense

When you simply must stay silent

I will open the gates of heaven

I will burn for you

I will melt your ice with fire

I will give you peace

To feel

Where you are going

You froze

My heart

I will open the gates of heaven

I will burn for you

I will melt your ice with fire

I will give you peace

I will open the gates of heaven

I will burn for you

I will melt your ice with fire

I will give you peace

[Spanish]

Sentir la libertad

Como un ave que regresa hacia su hogar

Buscar dentro de ti

Es poder darle a la vida otro color

Abriré las puertas del cielo

Arderé por ti

Quemaré con fuego tu hielo

Te daré la paz

Poder expresar

El silencio que se escribe en un papel

Poder adivinar

Cuando simplemente debes de callar

Abriré las puertas del cielo

Arderé por ti

Quemaré con fuego tu hielo

Te daré la paz

Sentir

Dónde vas

Congelaste

Mi corazón

Abriré las puertas del cielo

Arderé por ti

Quemaré con fuego tu hielo

Te daré la paz

Abriré las puertas del cielo

Arderé por ti

Quemaré con fuego tu hielo

Te daré la paz
