[English]

I speak endlessly, and you listen to me

With the quiet peace that lives inside you

Patient, silent, watching me from there

Your seriousness brings calm to my heart

Where are you?

What am I doing here?

What will I do

Without you?

...

Miles of fans draw strength from your light

Your soul’s depth is vast, as vast as you

My arms reach out, trying to embrace your love

I can still feel you, still sense your warmth

Where are you?

Where will I go

When you are no longer here?

I’ll miss you deeply

Because wherever there’s magic

You’ll always be there

You don’t feel far away yet

For when I hear a guitar

I know you’re there

The memories you’ve left behind

That great emptiness, vast as you

But still, I want you to know

I shout your name and feel that you’re there

You are there!

...

I’ll miss you deeply

Because wherever there’s magic

You’ll always be there

You don’t feel far away yet

For when I hear a guitar

I know you’re there

The memories you’ve left behind

That great emptiness, vast as you

But still, I want you to know

I cry out your name and feel that you’re there

...

[Spanish]

Yo hablando sin parar y tú escuchándome

Con la tranquilidad que habita en tu interior

Paciente y sin hablar me observas desde allí

Desde la seriedad das calma al corazón

¿Dónde estás?

¿Qué haré aquí?

¿Qué haré yo

Yo sin ti?

Kilómetros de fans nutriéndonos de ti

El pozo de tu ser es grande como tú

Mis brazos con amor te intentan abrazar

Yo aún puedo sentir, aún noto tu calor

¿Dónde estás?

¿Dónde iré

Cuando tú ya no estés?

Te voy a echar de menos

Porque donde haya magia

Siempre estarás tú

Aún no te siento lejos

Pues si oigo una guitarra

Sé que ahí estás tú

Recuerdos que nos dejas

Ese vacío grande, grande como tú

Pero aún quiero que sepas

Que rompo mi garganta y sé que ahí estás tú

¡Estás tú!

Te voy a echar de menos

Porque donde haya magia

Siempre estarás tú

Aun no te siento lejos

Pues si oigo una guitarra

Sé que ahí estás tú

Recuerdos que nos dejas

Ese vacío grande, grande como tú

Pero aún quiero que sepas

Que rompo mi garganta y sé que ahí estás tú
