Miedo de morir, ansia de vivir, sueño o realidad?... Algo quiere ser un amanecer en mi soledad... Canto que olvidé, sitios que dejé, dicha que perdí... Hoy en la emoción de mi corazón todo vuelve a mí! |
Too afraid to die, too scared of life to try— is this a dream or is it true? Something's turning on, and wants to be the dawn above my solitude... A song that fell from mind, places I left behind, the luck I used to see... Emotions now are flooding, my heart today is thudding— it all comes back to me! |

Oigo tu voz la que mi oído no olvida! Me trae tu voz hasta mi pena escondida la luz y la vida de un rayo de sol... Vuelvo a escuchar el nombre mío en tu acento, sin descifrar si es la palabra que siento mentira del viento, delirio, no más... |
I hear your voice, the one my ears have held on to! I follow your voice till I can't make out my hardship in the light and the life of a shaft of the sun... I'm back listening close to my name in your accent, and I never know if the sentence I'm hearing is wind in my ear, delirium, nothing more... |

Tiemblo por saber si en mi puerta estás, si es tu propia voz; y no quiero abrir para no llorar muerta mi ilusión... Déjame pensar que a salvar vendrás el deshecho amor... Déjame creer que eres siempre, al fin, tú mejor que yo! |
I tremble still unsure if you're standing at the door, if the voice is really you... I want to leave it closed, and never have to know my hopes are over too... Let me think you'll come to save our loving from its ruins and debris... Let me just pretend you'll still be, in the end, a better soul than me! |
