[English]

You come here with the truth

From some distant, far-off place

Your soul never found peace in rest

It sowed the seeds of faith

Sweet body, woman of light

In your gaze, power shines bright

Your magic can save us all

From the dragon's eyes

The world failed to listen

To that sad truth in your voice

And the foolish, tyrannical man decreed

To condemn your mission

Your eyes no longer shine

White sorceress, they’ve harmed you so

And in your bitter loneliness

You return to eternity

Time passed, it reached its end

And together, we all think of you

Soon, terror covered the sky

When the sun exploded

Don’t feel sorrow for me

In this world, there’s no place left

Your spell will set me free

From the dragon's eyes

...

[Spanish]

Llegas aquí con la verdad

De algún lejano y remoto lugar

Tu alma jamás en paz descansó

Fue sembrando la fe

Dulce cuerpo, mujer de luz

En tu mirada brilla el poder

Tu magia nos puede salvar

De los ojos del dragón

El mundo no supo escuchar

Esa triste verdad en tu voz

Y el hombre necio tirano ordenó

Condenar tu misión

Tus ojos no brillan más

Blanca hechicera, te han hecho mal

Y en tu amarga soledad

Vuelves a la eternidad

El tiempo pasó, llegó al final

Y todos juntos pensamos en vos

Pronto el terror el cielo cubrió

Cuando el sol estalló

No sientas pena por mí

En este mundo ya no hay lugar

Tu hechizo me librará

De los ojos del dragón
