Lyrics

Para decidir si sigo poniendo
Esta sangre en tierra
Este corazon que bate su parche
Sol y tinieblas
Para continuar caminando al sol
Por estos desiertos
Para recalcar que estoy vivo
En medio de tantos muertos
Para decidir
Para continuar
Para recalcar y considerar
Solo me hace falta que estes aqui
Con tus ojos claros
Ay! fogata de amor y guia
Razon de vivir mi vida
Para aligerar este duro peso
De nuestros dias
Esta soledad que llevamos todos
Islas perdidas
Para descartar esta sensacion
De perderlo todo
Para analizar por donde seguir
Y elegir el modo
Para aligerar
Para descartar
Para analizar y considerar
Solo me hace falta que estes aqui
Con tus ojos claros
Ay! fogata de amor y guia
Razon de vivir mi vida
Para combinar lo bello y la luz
Sin perder distancia
Para estar con vos sin perder el angel
De la nostalgia
Para descubrir que la vida va Sin pedirnos nada
Y considerar que todo es hermoso
Y no cuesta nada
Para combinar
Para estar con vos
Para descubrir y considerar
Solo me hace falta que estes aqui
Con tus ojos claros
Ay! fogata de amor y guia
Razon de vivir mi vida

Lyrics translation

To decide if I keep putting
This blood on the ground
This heart beating its patch
Sun and darkness
To continue walking in the sun
Through these deserts
To emphasize that I'm alive
In the midst of so many dead
To decide
To continue
To emphasize and consider
I just need you to be here.
With your clear eyes
Ay! Bonfire of love and guide
Reason to live my life
To lighten this hard weight
Of our days
This loneliness we all carry
Lost Islands
To rule out this sensation
To lose everything
To analyze where to go
And choose the mode
For lightening
To discard
To analyze and consider
I just need you to be here.
With your clear eyes
Ay! Bonfire of love and guide
Reason to live my life
To combine beauty and light
Without losing distance
To be with you without losing the angel
From nostalgia
To discover that life goes without asking us anything
And consider that everything is beautiful
And it costs nothing
To combine
To be with you
To discover and consider
I just need you to be here.
With your clear eyes
Ay! Bonfire of love and guide
Reason to live my life
