Cantado con arena, espuma y aves del amanecer

Listo para ser brisa de las alas migratorias
Ready to be a breeze of the migratory wings

Our theme is to watch the rain
Nuestro tema está
Our theme is
Desnudo en un balcón fotografiando espigas de la mar
Naked on a balcony photographing the spikes of the sea

Viéndonos juntar besos a las seis de la mañana
Watching us gather kisses at six in the morning

Pero su empeño sana el dolor
But its passion heals the pain

Our love theme
Nos cuesta tanto
Costs us so much
Que ya es un sueño y una canción
That it's already a dream and a song

En un solo de piano y en el labio más abrazador
In a piano solo and in the most embracing lips
Nuestro tema está
Our theme is
En el corredor de un hotel que se ha quedado solo
In the hallway of a hotel that has grown lonely
Nuestro tema es humedad de amor
Our theme is the humidity of love
