[English]

I was searching Estuve buscándote

You were on a misión, en una misión,

then our hearts combined like Entonces nuestros corazones se combinaron como

a neutron star collision un choque de estrellas de neutrones.

I have nothing left to lose No tengo nada que perder.

You took your time to choose, Te tomaste el tiempo para elegir,

then we told each other luego nos dijimos el uno al otro

with no trace of fear that... sin temor alguno que…

…Our love would be forever …Nuestro amor sería para siempre

and if we die, y que si moríamos,

we die together. lo haríamos juntos.

And lie, Y mentira,

I said never, Nunca quise decirlo,

‘Cause our love would be forever. Porque nuestro amor sería para siempre.

The world is broken. El mundo se deshace.

Halos fail to glisten. Las aureolas ya no brillan.

We try to make a difference, Intentamos hacer una diferencia,

but no one wants to listen pero nadie quiere escucharnos

Hail, the preachers, Dios salve a los predicadores,

fake and proud; falsos y orgullosos;

their doctrines will be cloud cuyas doctrinas se orcureceran

then they'll dissipate y desvanecerán

like snowflakes in an ocean. Como copos de nieve en un océano. 24 00:01:39,000 --> 00:00:44,000 Love is forever El amor es para siempre

and we'll die, Y moriremos,

we'll die together. pero lo haremos juntos.

And lie, I say never Y la mentira, nunca quise decirlo,

‘cause our love could be forever. porque nuestro amor podría ser para siempre.

Now I've got nothing left to lose. Ya no tengo nada que perder.

You take your time to choose. Te tomaste el tiempo para elegir.

I can tell you now without a trace of fear Ya puedo decir sin miedo alguno

that my love will be forever que mi amor será para siempre

and we'll die, y que moriremos,

we'll die together. pero lo haremos juntos.

Lie, I will never Mentira, ya no

‘cause our love could be forever. porque nuestro amor podría ser para siempre.
