[English]

I want to see, I want to come in

Baby, no one’s going to hurt you

Except loving you

...

You go here, you go there

But you'll never find yourself

Running away

...

There’s no strength around

No potions for love

Where are you?, where am I?

Because we are in the street of sensation, uh

Far from the sun

That burns with love

I give you bread, you want salt

Baby, I’ll never give you

What you’re asking for

I give you God, you want more

Won’t you ever understand

A poor kid?

...

Those motorcycles going a thousand

Only the wind will make you feel

Nothing else, nothing else

If only you could forget your mind (facing me)

I know your heart

Would say yes

...

There’s no strength around

No potions for love

Where are you?, where am I?

Because we are in the street of sensation, uh

Far from the sun

That burns with love

Uh, far from the sun

That burns with love

...

[Spanish]

Quiero ver, quiero entrar

Nena, nadie te va a hacer mal

Excepto amarte

Vas aquí, vas allá

Pero nunca te encontrarás

Al escaparte

No hay fuerza alrededor

No hay pociones para el amor

¿Dónde estás?, ¿dónde voy?

Porque estamos en la calle de la sensación, uh

Muy lejos del sol

Que quema de amor

Te doy pan, quieres sal

Nena, nunca te voy a dar

Lo que me pides

Te doy Dios, quieres más

¿Es que nunca comprenderás

A un pobre pibe?

Esas motos que van a mil

Solo el viento te harán sentir

Nada más, nada más

Si pudieras olvidar tu mente (frente a mí)

Sé que tu corazón

Diría que sí

No hay fuerza alrededor

No hay pociones para el amor

¿Dónde estás?, ¿dónde voy?

Porque estamos en la calle de la sensación, uh

Muy lejos del sol

Que quema de amor

Uh, muy lejos del sol

Que quema de amor
