Lyrics
Te vi llegar
Y sentí la presencia de un ser desconocido;
Te vi llegar
Y sentí lo que nunca jamás había sentido
Te quise amar
Y tu amor no era fuego no era lumbre;
Las distancias apartan las ciudades
Las ciudades destruyen las costumbres
Te dije adiós
Y pediste que nunca
Te olvidara;
Te dije adiós
Y sentí de tu amor otra vez la fuerza extraña
Y mi alma completa se me cubrió de hielo
Y mi cuerpo entero se me llenó de frío
Y estuve a punto, de cambiar tu mundo
De cambiar tu mundo por el mundo mío
Te dije adiós
Y pediste que nunca
Te olvidara;
Te dije adiós
Y sentí de tu amor
Otra vez la fuerza extraña
Y mi alma completa se me cubrió de hielo
Y mi cuerpo entero se me llenó de frío
Y estuve a punto, de cambiar tu mundo
De cambiar tu mundo por
El mundo mío
Lyrics translation
I saw you coming.
And I felt the presence of an unknown being;
I saw you coming.
And I felt what I had never ever felt
I wanted to love you
And your love was not fire was not light;
Distances separate cities
Cities destroy customs
I said goodbye
And you asked that never
I'll forget you;
I said goodbye
And I felt of your love again the strange force
And my whole soul was covered with ice
And my whole body was filled with cold
And I was about to change your world
To change your world for my world
I said goodbye
And you asked that never
I'll forget you;
I said goodbye
And I felt your love
Again the strange force
And my whole soul was covered with ice
And my whole body was filled with cold
And I was about to change your world
To change your world by
My world
