[English]

I want to remember this night - moments that will not return

And make, from those poems - sad like a prayer

A prayer that has a lot of love - Like the love I had for you once

So much love that I can't explain - Because you are no longer here

Next to me, like yesterday in my arms - looking at the sky, the darkness

And this is how I'm remembering your love

I want to remember this night - moments that will not return

And make, from those poems - sad like a prayer

A prayer that has a lot of love - Like the love I had for you once

So much love that I can't explain - Because you are no longer here

Next to me, like yesterday in my arms - looking at the sky, the darkness

And this is how I'm remembering your love

[Spanish]

Quiero, recordar esta noche momentos, que no volverán 

Y hacer, de aquellos poemas tristes como una oración

Una oración que tiene mucho amor Como el que yo, te tuve alguna vez 

Tanto amor, que no puedo explicar Porque ya no estás aquí

Junto a mi, como ayer en mis brazos mirando el cielo, la obscuridad 

Y así estoy recordando, tu amor

Quiero, recordar esta noche momentos, que no volverán 

Y hacer, de aquellos poemas tristes como una oración

Una oración que tiene mucho amor Como el que yo, te tuve alguna vez 

Tanto amor, que no puedo explicar Porque ya no estás aquí

Junto a mi, como ayer en mis brazos mirando el cielo, la obscuridad 

Y así estoy recordando, tu amor
