AY, AY DE MÍ!
(María Volonté & Kevin Carrel Footer)

Es nuestra dulce condena
Andar buscando un destino
Y a veces hay que perderse
Para encontrar el camino
Senderos que van y vienen
Huellas que borra la inmensidad
Y justo cuando parece
Que has alcanzado la libertad
La flecha de una mirada
Queda clavada en tu soledad
Ay, ay de mí... Ay, ay de ti!

El tiempo nos va enseñando
Cómo aguantar en la espera
Soñando fuerte en invierno
Sembrando en la primavera
Atrás quedaron los años
De dar amando sin descansar
No pienso en las golondrinas
Con mi silencio ya estoy en paz
Y de repente unos brazos
Me echan el lazo sin preguntar
Ay, ay de mí... Ay, ay de ti!

Late mi corazón
Voy soltando el timón
Obsesión que enamora
Que devora
Y me roba la razón
Ay, ay de mí... Ay, ay de ti!

El viento te cuenta cosas
Con un susurro al oído
No hay gloria ni amor ni nombre
Que no se lleve el olvido
Verdades que todos saben
Ley que el deseo nunca entendió
Sumida estaba en mi noche
No oí sus pasos cuando llegó
Un beso rompió el hechizo
Y sin permiso me despertó
Ay, ay de mí... Ay, ay de ti!

AY, AY DE MÍ!
(María Volonté & Kevin Carrel Footer)

It is our sweet curse
To chase for our destiny
Sometimes you need to get lost
To find your own way
Trails that come and go
Endless horizons erasing all traces
And just when you think
That you have found your freedom
A glance like an arrow
Pierces your solitude
Ay, ay de mí... Ay, ay de ti!

Time teaches us
How to endure the wait
Dreaming hard in winter
Sowing in the spring
Behind us are the years
Of giving and loving without rest
I don't think anymore of the sparrows
I am at peace with my silence
When suddenly some arms
Lasso me without even asking
Ay, ay de mí... Ay, ay de ti!

My heart is beating
I lose control
An obsession that enchants
That devours
And runs off with my reason
Ay, ay de mí... Ay, ay de ti!

The wind tells you things
Whispering in your ear
There's no glory, love or name
That escapes oblivion
Truths that everyone knows
A law that desire never understood
Lost in my night
I didn't hear his footsteps when he arrived
A kiss broke the spell
And without permission, woke me up
Ay, ay de mí... Ay, ay de ti!
