En natt i Santiago [English translation]

Love, no one knows where it is.

Love, one day it only stands there.

One night in Santiago, when I danced and drank,

suddenly I met your glance.

We live a thousand miles from each other.

We both know that everything we don't have is time.

One night in Santiago, while the clocks stood still,

and then everything had past.

"Goodbye, I have to leave now for my land."

(Now I must travel from you)

"But I have always thought about your fate."

(But you are always in my thoughts)

The most beautiful love is probably that

which never reaches more than infatuation.

One night in Santiago, sweet loss, sweet sorrow

May the memory rest in peace.

"I like when you're quiet

because you seem absent

and you hear me from afar,

and my voice doesn't affect you.

It seems that your eyes

would have flown

and it seems that a kiss

will close your mouth."*

("I like when you are quiet

because then you are absent

and you hear me at a distance

and my voice doesn't reach you.

Your eyes have looked their way

and a kiss can close your mouth.")**
