Lyrics & Translation

[English]

To feel death at your feet, always chasing you, leaving you alone.

Que te perseguirá y siempre estarás solo.

To suffer with desperate anxiety, trapped in the madness around you.

De no poder zafar la locura de todos.

Maybe, just once, it could become real.

Se hará real.

You see, anything is possible—it all depends on you.

Solo depende de ti.

To lie, just to keep living, is like dying while still alive.

Es agonizar aún estando vivo.

To leave things behind without resolving them is just running away.

Y no solucionar cobarde sin destino.

You’ll see, life goes on—what will you do now?

¿Dime que harás?

You had your chance; don’t come back crying for forgiveness.

Ahora no vengas llorando

A pedirme perdón.

You might think you’ll win and that time will erase it all,

Que todo pasará,

That you’ll live forever—but remember, it’s only up to you.

Pero, debes creer

Que solo depende de ti.

You could believe you’ll lose and that nothing will ever change,

Que nada cambiará,

Thinking it’s all just luck—but still, it only depends on you.

Pero, debes creer

Que solo depende de ti.

...

[Spanish]

Sentir, la muerte a tus pies

Que te perseguirá y siempre estarás solo.

Sufrir, la loca ansiedad

De no poder zafar la locura de todos.

Tal vez, solo por una vez,

Se hará real.

Ya ves, que todo puede ser,

Solo depende de ti.

Mentir, para poder vivir

Es agonizar aún estando vivo.

Partir, para dejarlo atrás

Y no solucionar cobarde sin destino.

Verás, la vida pasara,

¿Dime que harás?

Tuviste la oportunidad

Ahora no vengas llorando

A pedirme perdón.

Podrás creer que ganaras,

Que todo pasará,

Que vivirás por siempre,

Pero, debes creer

Que solo depende de ti.

Podrás creer que perderás,

Que nada cambiará,

Que es cuestión de suerte,

Pero, debes creer

Que solo depende de ti.
