[English]

In this night also so special

At Luna Park, nothing more, nothing less

Crowded

I would like

That even if you don't know the person beside you

Take their hand

Perhaps the person whose hand you're taking

Tomorrow, could save your life

...

One step from falling

And about to go out

The light of my gaze

The victorious one defeated

I couldn't bear

Not even the slight weight of my soul

My voice fell silent

Or the world went crazy

That no longer hears my throat

But you were there

Taking my hand

To give it warmth

So strong and brave

Like a ray of sun

What luck to have you!

Like a guardian angel

Blessed be your hand that could save me

In the midst of pain

It was better to leave

Asking God to end it

That cruel song

That made one cry so much

And that the curtain finally fell

And when it got dark

Faith slipped away from me

And my heart abandoned me

But you were there

Taking my hand

(To give it warmth)

(So strong and brave)

(Like a ray of sun)

What luck to have you!

Like a guardian angel

Blessed be your hand that could save me

Your hand

Taking my hand

To give it warmth

So strong and brave

Like a ray of sun

(What luck to have you!)

(Like a guardian angel)

Blessed be your hand that could save me

Your hand

That could rescue me

...

So I can sing to her again

Thank you very much for your hand

...

[Spanish]

En esta noche también tan especial

De un Luna Park, nada más, ni nada menos

Colmado

Me gustaría

Que por más que no conozcas a la persona que tengas al lado

Le tomes la mano

Quizas la persona a la que le estás tomando la mano

El día de mañana, puede salvarte la vida

A un paso de caer

Y a punto de apagarse

La luz de mi mirada

Vencido el vencedor

No pude soportar

Ni el poco peso de mi alma

Se enmudeció mi voz

O el mundo enloqueció

Que ya no escucha mi garganta

Pero estabas tú

Tomando mi mano

Para darle calor

Tan fuerte y valiente

Como un rayo de sol

¡Qué suerte tenerte!

Como un ángel guardián

Bendita tu mano que me pudo salvar

En medio del dolor

Era mejor partir

Pidiendo a Dios que terminara

Aquella cruel canción

Que tanto hizo llorar

Y que el telón por fin bajara

Y cuando oscureció

La fe se me escapó

Y el corazón me abandonaba

Pero estabas tú

Tomando mi mano

(Para darle calor)

(Tan fuerte y valiente)

(Como un rayo de sol)

¡Qué suerte tenerte!

Como un ángel guardián

Bendita tu mano que me pudo salvar

Tu mano

Tomando mi mano

Para darle calor

Tan fuerte y valiente

Como un rayo de sol

(¡Qué suerte tenerte!)

(Como un ángel guardián)

Bendita tu mano que me pudo salvar

Tu mano

Que me pudo rescatar

Para que vuelva a cantarle

Muchas gracias, por tu mano
