[English]

Love, it's been so long since I last heard the echo of your voice

Love, it's been so long since my soul has felt your warmth

Love, the sun no longer shines, the sky isn't blue anymore

Love, I feel a terrible cold in my soul, you're missing

I'm alone, love, where are you, my life?

These days feel like centuries, without you here there's pain

Come, love, our nest is waiting for you

Never tarnish what we've lived, it's always been only love

Love, the sun no longer shines, the sky isn't blue anymore

Love, I feel a terrible cold in my soul, you're missing

I'm alone, love, where are you, my life?

These days feel like centuries, without you here there's pain

Come, love, our nest is waiting for you

Never tarnish what we've lived, it's always been only love

I'm alone, love, where are you, my life?

These days feel like centuries, without you here there's pain

Come, love

...

[Spanish]

Amor, hace tanto tiempo que no escucho el eco de tu voz

Amor, hace tanto tiempo que en mi alma falta tu calor

Amor, el sol ya no brilla, el color del cielo no es azul

Amor, siento aquí en mi alma, un terrible frío, faltas tú

Estoy solo, amor, ¿dónde te encuentras, vida mía?

Parecen siglos estos días, sin tu presencia hay dolor

Ven, amor, te está esperando nuestro nido

Jamás empañes lo vivido, que siempre ha sido solo amor

Amor, el sol ya no brilla, el color del cielo no es azul

Amor, siento aquí en mi alma, un terrible frío, faltas tú

Estoy solo, amor, ¿dónde te encuentras, vida mía?

Parecen siglos estos días, sin tu presencia hay dolor

Ven, amor, te está esperando nuestro nido

Jamás empañes lo vivido, que siempre ha sido solo amor

Estoy solo, amor, ¿dónde te encuentras, vida mía?

Parecen siglos estos días, sin tu presencia hay dolor

Ven, amor
