[English]

After thinking, after seeing

My pain walk

On the ocean water

A warm clarity, that I saw pass by my street

Without knowing what to do

Whether to feel or to think

Only that even today, I still

Even today, I keep tying myself to you

Even today, I give you my love

My body with soul hides from the sun (from the sun)

At night it escapes

Even today, I give you

My body with soul

Even today (even today), there still is

What the night hides while waiting for the two of us

Or to feel or to think

My night filled with light

And it's because I saw swimming

Dolphins in your voice

And to feel without thinking

Only that even today, I still

Even today, I'm still loving you

Even today (even today)

My love (my love)

There still is, there still is

Two bodies with soul hide from the sun

At night they escape

At night they give themselves

The bodies, the souls

Even today (even today), there still is

Only that even today, I still

Even today, I'm still loving you (loving you)

Even today (even today)

My love (my love)

There still is, there still is

Two bodies with soul hide from the sun (sun, sun)

At night they escape, at night they give themselves (they give themselves)

The bodies, the souls

Even today (there still is), there still is (there still is), even today

There still is (my love)

Eh-ey, e-eh, oh-oh-oh

Even today, even today, e-eh-ey

The bodies, the souls

Even today (even today)

...

[Spanish]

Después de pensar, después de ver

A mi dolor andar

Sobre el agua del mar

Tibia claridad, que vi por mi calle pasar

Sin saber qué hacer

Si sentir o pensar

Solo que aún hoy, sigo aún

Aún hoy, sigo ata-atándome a ti

Aún hoy mi amor te doy

Mi cuerpo con alma se esconde del sol (del sol)

De noche se escapa

Aún hoy, te doy

Mi cuerpo con alma

Aún hoy (aún hoy), aún hay

Que esconde la noche en aguardar de nosotros dos

O sentir o pensar

Se me lleno de luz la noche

Y es porque yo vi nadar

Delfines en tu voz

Y sentir sin pensar

Solo que aún hoy, sigo aún

Aún hoy, sigo ama-amándote a ti

Aún hoy (aún hoy)

Mi amor (mi amor)

Aún hay, aún hay

Dos cuerpos con alma se esconden del sol

De noche se escapan

De noche se dan

Los cuerpos las almas

Aún hoy (aún hoy), aún hay

Solo que aún hoy, sigo aún

Aún hoy sigo ama-amándote a ti (amándote a ti)

Aún hoy (aún hoy)

Mi amor (mi amor)

Aún hay, aún hay

Dos cuerpos con alma se esconden del sol (sol, sol)

De noche se escapan, de noche se dan (se dan)

Los cuerpos, las almas

Aún hoy (aún hay), aún hay (aún hay), aún hoy

Aún hay (mi amor)

Eh-ey, e-eh, oh-oh-oh

Aún hoy, aún hoy, e-eh-ey

Los cuerpos, las almas

Aún hoy (aún hoy)

  ➔ "Sin" followed by an infinitive verb ("saber") means "without doing something." Additionally, "qué hacer" is an indirect question, functioning as the object of "saber," meaning "what to do."

• Si sentir o pensar
