Fantasmas [English translation]

If someone sees me in front of the window

don't fret, I won't pay attention to their staring.

I'm sorry if I remind you of a ghost;

I didn't want to come into being, forced by my cruel desires.1

It's like a lost love

that I now look for through the windows

I pass the time traveling and now...2

...I can't see the sun nor hear the wind

every moment is the same

evil breaks me and love bleeds me and I...

I'll be here, here, forever here until the end

I'll never leave, I'll never leave far from you

my love, I'll keep searching for your warmth

I'll be your ghost.

I will hide in the book you've read

I'll be there in what you think you've learned

life is more than what any text tells you3

you'll know someday when you find yourself alone and sad.

It's like a lost love

that I now look for through the windows

I pass the time traveling and now...

...I can't see the sun nor hear the wind

every moment is the same

evil breaks me and love bleeds me and I...

I'll be here, here, forever here until the end

I'll never leave, I'll never leave far from you

my love, I'll keep searching for your warmth

I'll be your ghost.

I'll be here, here, forever here until the end

I'll never leave, I'll never leave far from you

my love, I'll keep searching for your warmth

I'll be your ghost.

(Ghost, ghost)

I can't see the sun nor hear (I can't see the sun) the wind

every moment is the same (every moment...)

evil breaks me and love bleeds me (...is the same)

I'll be here, here, forever here until the end

I'll never leave, I'll never leave far from you

my love, I'll keep searching for your warmth

(I'll keep on, I'll keep on, I'll keep on)

I'll be your ghost.

I'll be here, here, forever here until the end (I can't see the sun [x3])

I'll never leave, (your ghost) I'll never leave far from you

my love, I'll keep searching for your warmth

I'll be your ghost (I'll be your ghost).
