[English]

The wings of your love guided my direction

Crossing the gray sky of yesterday

And in my rebirth I sighed within your arms

Merging with your skin, I kissed you

From my dreams an illusion arose

That made me a slave to your love

Why is it sometimes so hard to live?

Without you, I feel like I'm dying

How I longed for this destiny

To be written for me

I start today to live anew

How long I've waited for you

Beside my loneliness

Desiring to awaken

At last, I can see freedom on my horizon

I will love you forever

Because of you, my world is different today and will continue

Spinning if you stay by my side

...

Words no longer matter

We are waves in the sea

That merge beneath the same sunrise

The silence of the past

Is reaching its end

Loving you is my truth

...

From my dreams an illusion arose

...

That made me a slave to your love

Why is it sometimes so hard to live?

Without you, I feel like I'm dying

At last, I can see freedom on my horizon

I will love you forever

Because of you, my world is different today and will continue

Spinning if you stay by my side

At last, I can see freedom on my horizon

I will love you forever

There is nothing but the desire to feel your heart

And to give you the sky

For you, I will bring down a million stars at your feet

Swearing eternal love

Because of you, my world is different today and will continue

Spinning if you stay by my side

...

[Spanish]

Las alas de tu amor guiaron mi rumbo

Cruzando el cielo gris del ayer

Y en mi renacer suspire entre tus brazos

Uniéndome a tu piel, te bese

De mis sueños surgió una ilusión

Que me hizo esclavo de tu amor

¿Porque, es tan difícil a veces vivir?

Sin ti, yo me siento morir

Cuanto ansié que este destino

Fuese escrito para mí

Empiezo hoy a vivir de nuevo

Cuanto tiempo te he esperado

Junto a mi soledad

Deseando despertar

Al fin, puedo ver en mi horizonte, libertad

Yo te amaré por siempre

Por ti, hoy mi mundo es diferente y seguirá

Girando si te quedas junto a mí

Ya no importan las palabras

Somos olas en el mar

Que se funden bajo un mismo amanecer

El silencio del pasado

Va llegando a su final

Amarte es mi verdad

De mis sueños surgió una ilusión

Que me hizo esclavo de tu amor

¿Porque, es tan difícil a veces vivir?

Sin ti, yo me siento morir

Al fin, puedo ver en mi horizonte, libertad

Yo te amaré por siempre

Por ti, hoy mi mundo es diferente y seguirá

Girando si te quedas junto a mí

Al fin, puedo ver en mi horizonte, libertad

Yo te amaré por siempre

No hay más que el deseo de sentir tu corazón

Y regalarte el cielo

Por ti, bajaré un millón de estrellas a tus pies

Jurando amor eterno

Por ti, hoy mi mundo es diferente y seguirá

Girando si te quedas junto a mí
