[English]

Wherever I go, I remember you

...

Wherever I am

I am looking at you

...

The wind brings me your voice

There is no music I hear

That doesn't leave me crying

...

What land are you walking on?

What stars will light your way

Your path, good or bad?

What mouth is erasing

The kisses I gave you?

Tyrant little heart

...

Wherever I go, I remember you

My soul is dying to go

Right next to your soul

...

The sun without light is never a sun

The sea without water is not a sea

And I without you am nothing

...

What land are you walking on?

What stars will light your way

Your path, good or bad?

...

What mouth is erasing

The kisses I gave you?

Tyrant little heart

...

[Spanish]

A donde quiera que voy me acuerdo de ti

A donde quiera que estoy

Te estoy mirando

El viento me trae tu voz

No hay música que oiga yo

Que no me deje llorando

¿Qué tierra pisando estás?

¿Qué estrellas te alumbrarán

Tu camino bueno o malo?

¿Qué boca borrando está

Los besos que yo te di?

Corazoncito tirano

A donde quiera que voy me acuerdo de ti

Mi alma se muere por ir

Juntito a tu alma

El sol sin luz nunca es sol

El mar sin agua no es mar

Y yo sin ti no soy nada

¿Qué tierra pisando estás?

¿Qué estrellas te alumbrarán

Tu camino bueno o malo?

¿Qué boca borrando está

Los besos que yo te di?
