Lyrics

En medio de aquella vida desconocida
Traicionando lo más puro de mi ser
Surgió ante mí la verdad en estampida
Sacudiendo mi existencia hasta caer
Pero a pesar de la angustia reprimida
Nuestro gran amor logró vencer
Comenzó con feroz fuerza este martirio
Que invisiblemente debía padecer
Y añorando tu amor hasta el delirio
Hasta la vida creía que iba a perder
Mas imponente su ley al exterminio
Nuestro gran amor logró vencer
A prueba se pusieron nuestros sentimientos
Presentando el dolor y el viento al placer
Juntos soportamos raudales de vientos
Hundidas las almas sin poder ver;
Y lanzando gritos que fueron abiertos
Nuestro gran amor logró vencer
Comenzó con feroz fuerza este martirio
Que invisiblemente debía padecer
Y añorando tu amor hasta el delirio
Hasta la vida creía que iba a perder
Mas imponente su ley al exterminio
Nuestro gran amor logró vencer
A prueba se pusieron nuestros sentimientos
Presentando el dolor y el viento al placer
Juntos soportamos raudales de vientos
Hundidas las almas sin poder ver;
Y lanzando gritos que fueron abiertos
Nuestro gran amor logró vencer

Lyrics translation

In the midst of that unknown life
Betraying the purest of my being
The truth came before me in stampede
Shaking my existence to fall
But despite the pent-up anguish
Our great love managed to win
This martyrdom began with fierce force
That invisibly I must suffer
And longing for your love to delirium
Even life thought I was going to lose
More imposing his law to extermination
Our great love managed to win
Our feelings were put to the test
Presenting pain and wind to pleasure
Together we endure swells of winds
Sunken souls unable to see;
And throwing cries that were opened
Our great love managed to win
This martyrdom began with fierce force
That invisibly I must suffer
And longing for your love to delirium
Even life thought I was going to lose
More imposing his law to extermination
Our great love managed to win
Our feelings were put to the test
Presenting pain and wind to pleasure
Together we endure swells of winds
Sunken souls unable to see;
And throwing cries that were opened
Our great love managed to win
