[English]

Now I am leaving this city

Because I met you

And I fell in love

She has departed

And with me

She will never be again

Now I am moving away

Like a fleeting bird

For my heart is aching now

Only, I am never without baggage

To any place

Somewhere

Must be out there for me

Where I am loved

And they don't make me cry

Somewhere

So full of light

Where I don't feel

So much pain anymore, oh no

Somewhere

Must be out there for me

Where I am loved

And they don't make me cry

Somewhere

So full of light

Where I don't feel

So much pain anymore, oh no

...

Now I am leaving this city

Seeking comfort, wanting to escape

Those moments that we lived together

I will try to forget

Somewhere

Must be out there for me

Where I am loved

And they don't make me cry

Somewhere

So full of light

Where I don't feel

So much pain anymore, oh no

Somewhere

Must be out there for me

Where I am loved

And they don't make me cry

Somewhere

So full of light

Where I don't feel

So much pain anymore, oh no

...

[Spanish]

Ahora me alejo de esta ciudad

Pues te conocí

Y me enamore

Ella ha partido

Y ya conmigo

Nunca estará

Ahora me alejo

Como ave fugaz

Pues mi corazón afligido ahora esta

Solo que nunca sin equipaje

A cualquier lugar

Algún lugar

Habrá para mi

Donde me quieran

Y no me hagan llorar

Algún lugar

Tan lleno de luz

Donde no sienta

Ya tanto dolor oh no

Algún lugar

Habrá para mi

Donde me quieran

Y no me hagan llorar

Algún lugar

Tan lleno de luz

Donde no sienta

Ya tanto dolor oh no

Ahora me alejo de esta ciudad

Buscando consuelo queriendo escapar

Aquellos momentos que juntos vivimos

Tratare de olvidar

Algún lugar

Habrá para mi

Donde me quieran

Y no me hagan llorar

Algún lugar

Tan lleno de luz

Donde no sienta

Ya tanto dolor oh no

Algún lugar

Habrá para mi

Donde me quieran

Y no me hagan llorar

Algún lugar

Tan lleno de luz

Donde no sienta

Ya tanto dolor oh no

  ➔ In Spanish, adjectives often follow the noun, and "estar" is used here to describe a temporary emotional state ("afligido").

• Donde me quieran

  ➔ Subjunctive mood
