[English]

They keep searching for the hours of a day when I woke up,

Feeling strange, silence haunts me, why?

Life can be so cruel sometimes, a candle goes out and

I no longer feel the world beneath my feet.

I wish for another chance.

I shout your name and get no answer,

And I don't know if I can go on,

Living in this hell that is,

Being apart from you.

If you leave,

My breath dies when you're not here.

I lack the strength to shout,

Losing,

What I'll never find again.

Give me more,

I dream of seeing your eyes shine.

A flame burns in the darkness,

A fire,

That I hope to see return someday,

If you go.

You know how this is, if I look at the moon through the glass,

An unforgiving deep lament attacks me, perhaps this ending wasn't deserved.

Still anguished, I contemplate with fear the nature of my mistake.

I curse my pride but deep down I think,

I didn't deserve this pain.

You will come back,

I only take a moment to doubt,

The calm before the storm,

Feeling,

How it drags me to the bottom of the sea.

I don't care,

I know the moment will finally arrive,

I will never stop waiting,

Life sometimes gives you,

A second chance.

...

[Spanish]

Me andan cercando las horas de un día en que me desperté,

Sintiéndome extraño, el silencio me acecha, porqué?

La vida a veces es tan cruel, se apaga una vela y

Ya no siento el mundo por debajo de mis pies.

Quisiera otra oportunidad.

Grito tu nombre y no obtengo respuesta,

Y no sé si podré seguir,

Viviendo en este infierno que es,

Estar separado de ti.

Si te vas,

Mi aliento muere cuando no estás.

Me faltan fuerzas para gritar,

Perdiendo,

Lo que nunca volveré a encontrar.

Dame más,

Sueño con ver tus ojos brillar.

Arde una llama en la oscuridad,

Un fuego,

Que espero algún día ver regresar,

Si tú te vas.

Sabes como es esto, si miro la luna a través del cristal,

Me asalta implacable un profundo lamento, quizá no mereció este final.

Aún angustiado, medito con miedo, la naturaleza de mi error.

Maldigo mi orgullo pero en el fondo pienso,

Yo no merecí este dolor.

Volverás,

Solo un instante tardo en dudar,

La calma antes de la tempestad,

Sintiendo,

Como me arrastra al fondo del mar.

Me da igual,

Sé que el momento al fin llegará,

Yo nunca dejaré de esperar,

La vida a veces te da,

Una segunda oportunidad.
