Prefiere la paz de su soledad
She prefers the peace of her solitude
Volar lejos de las horas
Flying far away from time
Una noche cualquiera se fugó a un lugar
One ordinary night she escaped to a place
De donde nunca regresó
From where she never returned
Por los mares del dolor navegó su alma
Through the seas of pain, her soul sailed
Sin consuelo
Without solace
Sentimiento a la deriva
A feeling adrift
Hasta que encontró su propia tierra
Until she found her own land
Y ahora ella, vive sola en su corazón
And now she lives alone in her heart
El mundo gira lejos a su alrededor
The world spins far away around her
Por nada cambiará esa libertad
Nothing will change that freedom
De seguir su instinto vital
Of following its vital instinct
Todo es un barniz lleno de colores
Everything is a glaze full of colors
Lo único que vuelve es la mañana
The only thing that returns is the morning
Prefiere callar, tan solo mirar
She prefers to be quiet, just to watch
En cada luz hay una estrella
In every light, there is a star
Ahora ya no la espero, sé que nunca más
Now I no longer wait for her, I know she will never again
Volverá de su lugar
Come back from her place
Por los mares del dolor navegó su alma
Through the seas of pain, her soul sailed
Sin consuelo
Without consolation
Sentimiento a la deriva
Feeling adrift
Hasta que encontró su propia tierra
Until she found her own land
Y ahora ella, vive sola en su corazón
And now she, lives alone in her heart
El mundo gira lejos a su alrededor
The world spins far away around her
Ella vive sola en su corazón
She lives alone in her heart
El mundo gira lejos a su alrededor
The world spins far away around her
Ella vive sola en su corazón
She lives alone in her heart
