Rayando el sol, Rayando por ti, Esta pena me duele, Me quema sin tu amor.
Lining the sun, Lining (it) for you, This sorrow hurts me, It burns me without your love.
No me has llamado; Estoy desesperado. Son muchas lunas las que te he llorado.
You have not called me; I am getting desperate. I have cried you many a moon.

Iba caminando por las calles empapadas en olvido. Iba por los parques con fantasmas y con ángeles caídos. Iba sin luz, iba sin sol, Iba sin un sentido, iba muriéndome. Iba volando sobre el mar con las alas rotas.
I went walking through streets soaked in oblivion. I went through parks with ghosts and fallen angels. I went without light, I went without sun, I went without a feeling, I went dying. I went flying over the sea on broken wings.
