[English]

It's worth a try

Our hearts are screaming it

We've loved each other so much

It would be so sad to let go

It's worth a try

Afterwards, it'll be too late

We'll be two lonely souls

With nothing left for us

To throw away so many dreams

To kill our lives

To spill the wine

Of happiness

To stand by

Watching it fade away

This love that's more than life itself

So many words will die

Unspoken words of love

And so many kisses we'll never share

So many caresses will die

That will never be born

And so many nights of love

That will never come

To throw away so many dreams

To kill our lives

To spill the wine

Of happiness

To stand by

Watching it fade away

This love that's more than life itself

So many words will die

Unspoken words of love

And so many kisses we'll never share

So many caresses will die

That will never be born

And so many nights of love

That will never come

It's worth a try

Our hearts are screaming it

We've loved each other so much

It would be so sad to let go

[Spanish]

Vale la pena intentarlo

Nos lo grita el corazón

Nos hemos amado tanto

Sería tan triste dejarnos

Vale la pena intentarlo

Después ya tarde será

Seremos dos solitarios

Ya nada nos quedará

Tirar tantos sueños

Matar nuestras vidas

Derramar el vino

De la felicidad

Cruzarnos de brazos

Al ver que agoniza

Este amor que es más, que la vida misma

Se morirán tantas palabras

De amor sin pronunciar

Y tantos besos, que nunca nos podremos dar

Se morirán tantas caricias

Que jamás nacerán

Y tantas noches de amor

Que nunca llegarán

Tirar tantos sueños

Matar nuestras vidas

Derramar el vino

De la felicidad

Cruzarnos de brazos

Al ver que agoniza

Este amor que es más, que la vida misma

Se morirán tantas palabras

De amor sin pronunciar

Y tantos besos, que nunca nos podremos dar

Se morirán tantas caricias

Que jamás nacerán

Y tantas noches de amor

Que nunca llegarán

Vale la pena intentarlo

Nos lo grita el corazón

Nos hemos amado tanto

Sería tan triste dejarnos
