Lyrics & Translation

[English]

It was a moment in my life,

that I spent.

I faltered from a thousand wounds,

that are now in the past.

And I fought,

like a warrior in battles,

not letting myself be defeated.

I stepped firmly on the paths,

I crossed them.

I endured so many defeats,

believe me!

I could see

that everything wasn't said and done yet,

there's more to go.

I will look!

The sun shine again.

It will shine!

From here to eternity.

I will look!

The sun shine again,

and the darkness will not return.

I will look!

The sun shine again.

It will shine!

From here to eternity.

I will look!

The sun shine again,

and the darkness will not return,

ever.

I was at the edge

of hell itself once

and it was the essence of man

that helped me not to fall.

More moments of glory,

will come.

And if it's heaven or hell, tell me which?

You must believe

that it is never too late for a change,

you just have to have more faith.

I will look!

The sun shine again.

It will shine!

From here to eternity.

I will look!

The sun shine again,

and the darkness will not return.

I will look!

The sun shine again.

It will shine!

From here to eternity.

I will look!

The sun shine again,

and the darkness will not return,

ever.

[Spanish]

Fue un instante de mi vida,

que pasé.

Vacilé por mil heridas,

que ya fue.

Y luché,

como un guerrero en las batallas,

no dejándome vencer.

Pise fuerte en los caminos,

los crucé.

Soporté tantas derrotas,

¡créanme!

Pude ver

que aún no estaba todo dicho,

queda más por recorrer.

¡Miraré!

De nuevo el sol brillar.

¡Brillará!

de aquí a la eternidad.

¡Miraré!

de nuevo el sol brillar,

y la oscuridad no volverá.

¡Miraré!

de nuevo el sol brillar.

¡Brillará!

de aquí a la eternidad.

¡Miraré!

de nuevo el sol brillar,

y la oscuridad no volverá,

jamás.

Yo estuve en los confines

del mismo infierno una vez

y fue la esencia del hombre

que me ayudó a no caer.

Más momentos de gloria,

ya vendrán.

Y si el cielo o el infierno, ¿dime cuál?

Debes creer

que nunca es tarde para un cambio,

solo hay que tener más fe.

¡Miraré!

de nuevo el sol brillar.

¡Brillará!

de aquí a la eternidad.

¡Miraré!

de nuevo el sol brillar,

y la oscuridad no volverá.

¡Miraré!

de nuevo el sol brillar.

¡Brillará!

de aquí a la eternidad.

¡Miraré!

de nuevo el sol brillar,

y la oscuridad no volverá,

jamás.
