These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
El extraño llegó con sueños muy distintos
The stranger came in with very different dreams
Pero la vio
But he saw her
Como solo puede verse un espejismo
As you can only see a mirage
Dentro del corazón
Inside the heart
Él adivino un destino en su cara
He guessed a fate in his face
Ella intuyó su cruz
She sensed her cross
Fue mezclar lo del cielo
It was mixing up the sky
Con la vida a ras del suelo
With life at ground level
Y comprender
And understand
Que los edenes perdidos
That the lost edens
Siempre se encuentran
They are always found
La una frente al otro
In front of each other
Sin saber lo que sienten
Not knowing how they feel
Paraíso sin serpiente
Snakeless paradise
No lo busques que no quedan
Don't look for it that's not left
No existen frutas prohibidas
There are no forbidden fruits
Si no bocas que se cierran
If not mouths that close
Y ese amor, tan sagrado
And that love, so sacred
Tan callado, tan secreto
So quiet, so secret
Tan de dos y tan de nadie
So two and so no one
Tan puro y de pecado
So pure and sinful
Tan furtivo y murmurado
So sneaky and muttered
Tan sin perdón de dios
So without God's forgiveness
Y esa historia sin focos
And that story without spotlights
Tan de sueños enemigos
So much of enemy dreams
Tan posible, y tan quimera
So possible, and so chimera
Tan de noches sin fronteras
So nights without borders
De inocencia y penitencia
Innocence and penance
De un quererse porque sí
Of a love because yes
Dándole al mundo
Giving the world
Su sin razón de ser
Its for no reason to be
Y ese afán
And that eagerness
De estar juntos
To be together
Contra todo
Against everything
Sin infierno y sin tesoro
No hell and no treasure
Sin premios sin castigos
No prizes without punishment
Sin que seré contigo
Without me being with you
Con un anillo de oro
With a gold ring
Escondido en un cajón
Hidden in a drawer
Y ese amor tan libre, y cautivado
And that love so free, and captivated
Tan de luz y penumbroso
So light and gloomy
Tan limpio y peligroso
So clean and dangerous
Que no se calla ni miente
He doesn't shut up or lie
Tan de qué dirá la gente
So what people will say about
Árbol del bien y el mal
Tree of Good and Evil
Dándole al mundo
Giving the world
Su sin razón de ser
Its for no reason to be
