[English]

I want to shout

I want to beg

And I just can't anymore

So much suffering, so much crying

For you

I feel your heart beating

Close to mine

I hear your voice but you're not here

Tell me why

And hearing your sweet voice

My soul is reborn

...

I start to believe again

That love exists, and it’s you

I want to keep dreaming of you

Because I love you

I want to believe that never again

Will you leave me

But when I look at reality

My soul weeps

You're no longer here and I’ll never

see you again

Again I feel loneliness

Inside my soul

You’re no longer near me

Why?

I hear your voice telling me

I’m waiting for you, I’m waiting for you

I want to die to be with you

I can't endure anymore

This deep pain, hearing your voice

In my solitude,

Your voice, your voice

...

[Spanish]

Quiero gritar

Quiero implorar

y ya no puedo

Tanto sufrir, tanto llorar

Por ti

Siento latir tu corazon

cerca del mio

Oigo tu voz y tu no estás

dime por que

Y al escuchar tu dulce voz

renace mi alma

Vuelvo a creer que existe

amor y tu

Quiero seguir soñando en ti

porque te quiero

Quiero creer que nunca más

ya tu te irás

Pero al mirar la realidad

mi alma llora

Tú ya no estas y nunca

más yo te veré

Vuelvo a sentir soledad

dentro de mi alma

Tú ya no estas serca de mí

Por qué?

Oigo tu voz que me dice

te espero, te espero

Quiero morir para unirme a ti

No puedo más soportar

esta pena tan honda el escuchar

en mi soledad tu voz,

tu voz, tu voz
