[English]

I know I’m talking to you in a bit of a strange moment

but I still see you on that bitter side of my mind

I thought you loved me, but I only feel that I miss you

because I lie and say that I’m enough with myself

I remember days when I didn’t know you

and I looked at you with the eyes of a teenage love

I remember the monotony I had

watching your walk and falling in love slowly

I don’t understand why you hide your feelings

with the excuse of going out to discover yourself

I know well our differences

but don’t forget

that we fell in love because we’re different

I’m still the same person who fell for you

But not the owner

of the Olympus where we were both

You were just a dream

I’m still the same who fell for you

But not the owner

of the Olympus where we were both

You were just a dream

If my love song came from my subconscious

it’s because my heart screams at me not to see you again

Because your words hurt much more if they lie

I’ll have to understand you

entertain myself or make myself stronger

Because I love you

You used to smile, and the world was beautiful

Look at the mess we left behind

We wove wings, and you suddenly flew away

You left slowly falling out of love

I don’t understand why you hide your feelings

with the excuse of going out to discover yourself

I know well our differences

but don’t forget

that we fell in love because we’re different

I’m still the same person who fell for you

But not the owner

of the Olympus where we were both

You were just a dream

I’m still the same who fell for you

But not the owner

of the Olympus where we were both

You were just a dream

You were just a dream

You were just a dream

[Spanish]

Sé que te hablo en un momento un poco extraño 

pero aún te veo en ese lado amargo de mi mente

Creí quererme y solo siento que te extraño

porque miento y digo que conmigo mismo es suficiente

Recuerdo días en los que no te conocía

y te miraba con ojitos de un amor adolescente 

Recuerdo la monotonía que tenía 

el contemplar tu caminar y enamorarme lentamente

No entiendo por qué reprimis tus sentimientos 

con la excusa de salir en busca de autoconocerte 

Sé bien de nuestras diferencias

pero no olvides

que nos enamoramos porque somos diferentes

Sigo siendo el mismo que te enamoró

Pero sin ser dueño 

del olimpo en el que estábamos los dos

Solo fuiste un sueño 

Sigo siendo el mismo que te enamoró

Pero sin ser dueño 

del olimpo en el que estábamos los dos

Solo fuiste un sueño

Si mi canción de amor salió del subconsciente

es porque el corazón me pide a gritos que no vuelva a verte

Pues tus palabras duelen mucho más si mienten 

tendré que entenderte

entretenerme o hacerme más fuerte

Porque te amo 

Sonreías y el mundo era hermoso

Mira los destrozos que dejamos

Tejimos alas y volaste de repente

Te fuiste desenamorando lentamente

No entiendo por qué reprimis tus sentimientos

con la excusa de salir en busca de autoconocerte 

Sé bien de nuestras diferencias 

pero no olvides

que nos enamoramos porque somos diferentes

Sigo siendo el mismo que te enamoró

Pero sin ser dueño 

del olimpo en el que estábamos los dos

Solo fuiste un sueño

Sigo siendo el mismo que te enamoró

Pero sin ser dueño 

del olimpo en el que estábamos los dos

Solo fuiste un sueño

Solo fuiste un sueño

Solo fuiste un sueño
