[English]

The enemy's spell is broken

From this dark town that will bloom again

Black rain falls from the dark sky

Tears of joy flood my eyes

Breathing out its soul like a perfume

Our dead will rest peacefully

A meteor moving away from the horizon

It was the spirit poisoning the air

No more sharpened blades in the breeze

My thoughts grow upwards toward the sky

There's plenty of water in this wasteland

And the colors have returned to her face

She understands what I can't say

And now my warrior pride is reborn

Her purity moves me so deeply

Like the strange freedom of her ways

And she emerges from the water with a new body

Without memory for either of us

Breathing out its soul like a perfume

Our dead will rest peacefully

There's plenty of water in this wasteland

And the colors have returned to her face

And she emerges from the water with a new body

Without memory for either of us

...

[Spanish]

Roto está el conjuro de los enemigos

De este pueblo oscuro que ha de florecer.

Del cielo negro cae la lluvia

Lágrimas de contento inundan mis ojos.

Exhalando su alma como un perfume

Nuestros muertos descansarán.

Un meteoro que se aleja del horizonte

Era el espíritu que estaba envenenando el aire

No mas aceros afilados en la brisa

Mis pensamientos crecen hacia el cielo.

Hay agua abundante en este páramo

Y han vuelto los colores a su rostro.

Ella entiende lo que yo no sé decir

Y ahora renace mi orgullo guerrero.

Su pureza me conmueve tanto

Como la extraña libertad de sus costumbres.

Y sale del agua con un cuerpo nuevo

Sin memoria para los dos.

Exhalando su alma como un perfume

Nuestros muertos descansarán.

Hay agua abundante en este páramo

Y han vuelto los colores a su rostro.

Y sale del agua con un cuerpo nuevo

Sin memoria para los dos.
