Vivo sin saber como puedo resistír
ésta fiebre que se aferra a tu querer,
son remolinos con tu nombre y mi locura
con tu rísa y mi amargura que torturan mi vivír.
Quiero no querer lo que sufro por vencer
este viento de tristeza y soledad
y nuevamente me aprisiona el remolino
con tu sombra... con mi sino... sin salvación.

I'm living unaware of how to stand amid the strife
of this fever that's attached to your desire...
it's a whirlwind of your name and my obsession,
of your laugh and my dejection, torturing my life.
I want to want no more what I suffer just to endure
these rising winds of woe and solitude...
and once again the whirlwind's around me and I'm caught
with your shadow, with my lot, beyond salvation's hand.

Tu voz...
vuelvo a escuchar tu voz
vuelves en el adios
y para que? te quiero así
y para que? sin tu querer,
solo dejó mi corazón...
sin su latír, sin ilusión...
Tu voz...
vuelvo a escuchar tu voz
vuelves en el adios
y el remolino
con tu rísa y mi rencor
y tu reír, y mi dolor
y yo,.. que dí todo mi amor.

Your voice...
time's running back to hear your voice,
running back to your goodbye—
and all for what? I love you so,
and all for what? without your love,
my heart was left abandoned there...
without its pounding... without a prayer...
Your voice...
time's running back to hear your voice,
running back to your goodbye
and to the whirlwind
of your laughter and my quaking,
and your laugh, and my heart breaking,
and of me, who gave you all my love.
