[English]

It will rain and I will see the rain fall

It will rain and I will see people run

It will rain and I will see the rain without more

And it will rain and rain

Look at that, Miranda

Your shoes aren’t high-heeled

Your old age is just innocence

Of those who never ask for forgiveness

Stop sewing your stories

With positive points

Look at that, Miranda

Your desire is the incapacity

Of those who fought one day

To take a step back

Don’t think everything is easy

You don’t have to pretend

And if you leave

I’ll tell everyone about your life

Your problems, your bad thorns

So someday you can come back

And you will return

When you think everything has changed

When everything is in the past

And you feel good again

Look at that, Miranda

That looking is how you get to see

What the looked-at keeps looking at

The one who looks and keeps looking at the sea

Just in case you haven’t realized

This isn’t about just looking

Look at that, Miranda

Your throat can’t hold back

Your craziness winning battles

And they’re already mixing sugar with salt

Don’t laugh at everything and nothing

I won’t be able to stand it

And if you leave

I’ll tell everyone about your life

Your problems, your bad thorns

So someday you can come back

And you will return

When you think everything has changed

When everything is in the past

And you feel good again

And you go, and go, for not hiding

And you go, and go, for not looking

And you go, and go, for not hiding

And you go, and go, you won’t come back

And you go, and go, for not hiding

And you go, and go...

...

[Spanish]

Lloverá y yo veré la lluvia caer

Lloverá y yo veré la gente correr

Lloverá y yo veré la lluvia sin más

Y lloverá y lloverá

Mira que mira, Miranda

Tus zapatos no son de tacón

Tu vejez es sólo la inocencia

De los que nunca piden perdón

Deja ya de coser tus historias

Con puntos a favor

Mira que mira, Miranda

Tu deseo es la incapacidad

De aquellos que un día lucharon

Por poder dar un paso atrás

No te creas que todo es sencillo

No hay que disimular

Y si te vas

Le contaré a la gente tu vida

Tus problemas, tus malas espinas

Para que algún día puedas volver

Y volverás

Cuando creas que todo ha cambiado

Cuando todo quede en el pasado

Y te sientas bien otra vez

Mira que mira, Miranda

Que mirando se llega a mirar

Lo que mira y remira el mirado

Al que mira y remira la mar

Por si aún no te has enterado

Esto no va de mirar

Mira que mira, Miranda

Tu garganta no sabe aguantar

Tus locuras ganando batallas

Y ya mezclan azúcar con sal

No te rías de todo y de nada

No lo podré soportar

Y si te vas

Le contaré a la gente tu vida

Tus problemas, tus malas espinas

Para que algún día puedas volver

Y volverás

Cuando creas que todo ha cambiado

Cuando todo quede en el pasado

Y te sientas bien otra vez

Y te vas y te vas, por no esconderte

Y te vas y te vas, por no mirar

Y te vas y te vas, por no esconderte

Y te vas y te vas, ya no volverás

Y te vas y te vas, por no esconderte

Y te vas y te vas...
