Lyrics & Translation

Dive into the powerful, cosmic romance of Muse's "Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)." This Alternative Rock track features dramatic, soaring English lyrics, ideal for learning expressions of intense, all-or-nothing love, such as the famous line, "And if we die, we die together." Listen to Matthew Bellamy's signature emotive vocals and the use of astrophysical metaphors to master high-register vocabulary and passionate, romantic phrasing in English. Its operatic style makes it a great piece for practicing articulation and breath control.

[English]

"I was searching" Yo estaba buscando

"You were on a mission" Tú estabas en una misión

"Then our hearts combined like" Y entonces nuestros corazones se combinaron

"A neutron star collision" Como si chocaran dos estrellas de neutrones

"I had nothing left to lose" Yo no tenía nada más que perder

"You took your time to choose" Tú te tomaste tu tiempo para escoger

"Then we told each other" Entonces nos dijimos

"With no trace of fear that..." Sin miedo alguno…

"Our love would be forever" Que nuestro amor sería para siempre

"And if we die" Y que si moríamos

"We die together" Moriríamos juntos

"And lie, I said never" Dije que nunca mentiría

"Cause our love would be forever" Porque nuestro amor sería para siempre

"The world is broken" El mundo está roto

"Halos fail to glisten" Los halos no brillan

"You try to make a difference" Intentas marcar la diferencia

"But no one wants to listen" Pero nadie quiere escuchar

"Hail," Saludemos

"The preachers, fake and proud" A los predicadores, falsos y orgullosos

"Their doctrines will be cloud" Sus doctrinas se nublarán

"Then they'll dissipate" Y luego se disiparán

"Like snowflakes in an ocean" Como copos de nieve en el océano

"Love is forever" El amor es para siempre

"And we'll die, we'll die together" Y moriremos, moriremos juntos

"And lie, I say never" Dije que nunca mentiría

"Cause our love could be forever" Porque nuestro amor podría ser eterno

"Now I've got nothing left to lose" Ahora no me queda nada que perder

"You take your time to choose" Te tomas tu tiempo para escoger

"I can tell you now without a trace of fear" Puedo decirte sin miedo alguno

"That my love will be forever" Que mi amor será eterno

"and we'll die" Y moriremos

"we'll die together" Moriremos juntos

"Lie, I will never" Nunca mentiré

"Cause our love will be forever" Porque nuestro amor será eterno
