[English]

How my soul aches

With this absence that never ends

You see, with your departure

You've taken my very life away

How time hurts

When it is filled with this silence

How long my days are without the refuge of your skin

And I keep tying nights to my pain

And I keep imagining that it was all a mistake

Taking refuge in my solitude

I don't know if you'll return

And I keep spinning around my love for you

Feeling that without you, I don't know what I'm going to do

I'm letting your lack of love pierce me

Dying inside, because I won't see you again

How the very air hurts

Since you aren't breathing by my side

How hard the agony is

For what we used to be once

And I keep tying nights to my pain

And I keep imagining that it was all a mistake

Taking refuge in my solitude

I don't know if you'll return

And I keep spinning around my love for you

Feeling that without you, I don't know what I'm going to do

I'm letting your lack of love pierce me

Dying inside

And I keep tying nights to my pain

And I keep imagining that it was all a mistake

Taking refuge in my solitude

I don't know if you'll return

And I keep spinning around my love for you

Feeling that without you, I don't know what I'm going to do

I'm letting your lack of love pierce me

Dying inside

And I keep tying nights to my pain

And I keep imagining that it was all a mistake

Taking refuge in my solitude

I don't know if you'll return

And I keep spinning around my love for you

Feeling that without you, I don't know what I'm going to do

I'm letting your lack of love pierce me

Dying inside

And I keep tying nights to my pain

And I keep imagining that it was all a mistake

Taking refuge in my solitude

I don't know if you'll return, no, no

And I keep spinning around my love for you

Feeling that without you, I don't know what I'm going to do

I'm letting your lack of love pierce me

Dying inside

[Spanish]

Cómo duele el alma

Con esta ausencia que no acaba

Ya ves con tu partida

Te me has llevado hasta la vida

Cómo duele el tiempo

Cuando lo llena este silencio

Que largos son mis días sin el refugio de tu piel

Y sigo atando noches a mi dolor

Y sigo imaginando que todo fue un error

Refugiándome en mi soledad

No sé si volverás

Y sigo dando vueltas por tu querer

Sintiendo que sin ti ya no sé qué voy a hacer

Voy clavándome tu desamor

Muriendo en mi interior, por no volverte a ver

Cómo duele el aire

Que no respiras a mi lado

Qué dura es la agonía

De lo que fuera alguna vez

Y sigo atando noches a mi dolor

Y sigo imaginando que todo fue un error

Refugiándome en mi soledad

No sé si volverás

Y sigo dando vueltas por tu querer

Sintiendo que sin ti ya no sé qué voy a hacer

Voy clavándome tu desamor

Muriendo en mi interior

Y sigo atando noches a mi dolor

Y sigo imaginando que todo fue un error

Refugiándome en mi soledad

No sé si volverás

Y sigo dando vueltas por tu querer

Sintiendo que sin ti ya no sé qué voy a hacer

Voy clavándome tu desamor

Muriendo en mi interior

Y sigo atando noches a mi dolor

Y sigo imaginando que todo fue un error

Refugiándome en mi soledad

No sé si volverás

Y sigo dando vueltas por tu querer

Sintiendo que sin ti ya no sé qué voy a hacer

Voy clavándome tu desamor

Muriendo en mi interior

Y sigo atando noches a mi dolor

Y sigo imaginando que todo fue un error

Refugiándome en mi soledad

No sé si volverás, no, no

Y sigo dando vueltas por tu querer

Sintiendo que sin ti ya no sé qué voy a hacer

Voy clavándome tu desamor

Muriendo en mi interior
