[English]

Loneliness overwhelms me

Demons bring me to my end

Chaos and rage rule

Within our unhappy hearts

I don’t want to see the road end here

So forgotten

Where being mad is better than feeling like this

Living in solitude

Loneliness resembles

A murky, senile dream

So many sleepless nights

Without our children, without you

I want to feel your presence and awaken

Somewhere else

Where love isn’t cold if you’re here

Living inside of me

I still remember those years

I gave them integrity

The best portion of my bread

All of my life

It’s the taste of reality

An old oak left untended

I still hope to find

A new script for my ending

Loneliness keeps me company

Since no one will come

You, because you’re already so far away

And others because they want to be

I want to feel your presence and awaken

Somewhere else

Where love isn’t cold if you’re here

Curled up

I want to feel your presence and awaken

Somewhere else

Where pain is no longer cold if you’re here

Living inside of me

Ahh!

[Spanish]

La soledad me acompleja

Diablos me traen a mi fin

El caos y la rabia imperan

En nuestro seno infeliz

No quiero ver que el camino acaba aquí

Tan olvidado

Donde estar loco es mejor que estar así

Viviendo en soledad

La soledad se asemeja

A un sueño turbio y senil

A tantas noches en vela

Sin nuestros hijos, sin ti

Quiero sentir tu presencia y despertar

En otro lado

Donde el amor ya no es frío si tú estás

Viviendo en mi interior

Aún recuerdo esos años

Les cedí integridad

De mi pan, la mejor ración

De mi vida, el total

Es el sabor de la realidad

Viejo roble sin cuidar

Tengo esperanza de encontrar

Un nuevo guión a mi final

La soledad me acompaña

Puesto que nadie vendrá

Tú por estar ya muy lejos

Y otros por quererlo estar

Quiero sentir tu presencia y despertar

En otro lado

Donde el amor ya no es frío si tú estás

Acurrucado

Quiero sentir tu presencia y despertar

En otro lado

Donde el dolor ya no es frío si tú estás

Viviendo en mi interior

¡Aah!

Key Grammar Structures

• La soledad me acompleja

  ➔ Indirect object pronoun 'me' before the verb.

  ➔ The pronoun 'me' refers to the speaker, showing that loneliness affects or influences them. It emphasizes the emotional impact.

• El caos y la rabia imperan

  ➔ Third person plural present indicative of an intransitive verb.

  ➔ The verb 'imperan' means 'to reign' or 'to dominate', showing chaos and anger as subjects that control the situation.

• No quiero ver que el camino acaba aquí

  ➔ Subordinate clause introduced by 'que' after a verb of desire.

  ➔ The structure 'quiero ver que...' expresses the desire to see whether something happens. It creates a subordinate clause conveying an emotional wish.

• Donde estar loco es mejor que estar así

  ➔ Infinitives used as nouns (‘estar loco’, ‘estar así’).

  ➔ Infinitives in Spanish can function as subjects. Here, 'being crazy' and 'being like this' are compared as abstract states.

• A tantas noches en vela

  ➔ Use of preposition 'a' introducing an indirect object or emotional reference.

  ➔ The preposition links emotional or temporal experiences — sleepless nights — giving poetic emphasis.

• Quiero sentir tu presencia y despertar

  ➔ Two infinitives linked by conjunction 'y' after a single modal verb.

  ➔ ‘Quiero’ governs both ‘sentir’ and ‘despertar’, implying the same subject performs both actions.

• Donde el amor ya no es frío si tú estás

  ➔ Conditional clause introduced by 'si'.

  ➔ The sentence links two ideas: love is not cold if 'you' are present, using present indicative for real conditions.

• Les cedí integridad

  ➔ Use of indirect object pronoun 'les' to show giving to others.

  ➔ ‘Les’ refers to recipients of ‘integridad’. The speaker 'gave integrity to them', showing relational transfer.

• Tengo esperanza de encontrar

  ➔ Use of preposition 'de' linking noun and infinitive verb.

  ➔ ‘Esperanza de encontrar’ means ‘hope of finding’. The preposition links the abstract noun to its verbal idea.

• Puesto que nadie vendrá

  ➔ Causal conjunction 'puesto que' meaning 'since' or 'because'.

  ➔ The phrase introduces a reason — nobody will come — to justify the previous statement about loneliness.
