[English]

Silence returns again today

It drove me mad

I feel rage, I feel fear

Everything is black today

A maze for two

The cold of loneliness

It freezes my blood again

The spell that helps me

Now it pulls away from me

Your gaze is almost gray

And now, it's not a dream

I don't wake up, I don't feel you

Ohhh! oh ohhh! ohohh!

Far from you

I don't feel your body, woman

Far from you

Far from you again

I'll search for you beyond the light

that I cannot see

Even though time moves every second

Enjoy my pain

I don't hide in a goodbye

You are so close yet so far

That the air splits in two

If you open your eyes and forget the rest

The rock turns into cotton

Awakening inside me

And now, it's not a dream

I don't wake up, I don't feel you

Far from you

I don't feel your body, woman

Far from you, far from you again

Far from you

I don't feel your body, woman

Far from you, far from you again

...

Far from you

I don't feel your body, woman

Far from you, far from you again

Far from you

I don't feel your body, woman

Far from you

Far from you, far from you again

...

[Spanish]

Hoy de nuevo el silencio

Loco me volvió

Siento rabia, siento miedo

Todo es negro hoy

Laberinto para dos

El frío de la soledad

Congela mi sangre otra vez

El embrujo que me ayuda

Ahora se aparta de mí

Tu mirada es casi gris

Y ahora, no es un sueño

No despierto, no te siento

Ohhh! oh ohhh! ohohh!

Lejos de ti

No siento tu cuerpo mujer

Lejos de ti

Lejos de ti otra vez

Te buscaré más allá de la luz

Que no puedo ver

Aunque el tiempo en cada segundo

Disfrute mi dolor

No me escondo en un adiós

Estás tan cerca pero tan lejos

Que el aire corta en dos

Si abres los ojos y olvidas el resto

La roca se vuelve algodón

Despertando en mi interior

Y ahora, no es un sueño

No despierto, no te siento

Lejos de ti

No siento tu cuerpo mujer

Lejos de ti, Lejos de ti otra vez

Lejos de ti

No siento tu cuerpo mujer

Lejos de ti, Lejos de ti otra vez

Lejos de ti

No siento tu cuerpo mujer

Lejos de ti, Lejos de ti otra vez

Lejos de ti

No siento tu cuerpo mujer

Lejos de ti

Lejos de ti, Lejos de ti otra vez
