La vida es un sueño [English translation]

my dearest treasure

passionate heart,

I do not want to see you crying

because I am going away from your side

I was not born to give you

the world that you have dreamed of.

Chorus:

        For me clouds are the sky

        for me waves are the sea,

        for me life is a dream

        and death is awakening

If you have an illusion

that you are carrying deep inside,

rip your heart up

so that it makes the feeling leave

which has once been pain

it has to carry the wind.

         {Chorus}

I do not know how to say goodbye

or sing farewell

to not suffer from pain

the ones who forget about each other will suffer

when they say goodbye

from this life forever.

         {Chorus}
