Las ciudades [English translation]

I saw you coming

And felt the presence of an unknown being

I saw you coming

And felt what I'd never ever felt before.

I wanted to love you

And your love wasn't fire, it wasn't light

Distances separate the cities

The cities destroy customs.

I said goodbye

And you asked that I never, that I never forget you;

I said goodbye

And I felt from your love once again a strange force.

And my entire soul covered me in ice

And my entire body was filled with cold

And I was at the point of changing your world,

Of changing your world for my world.
