Queen of my Dreams
Another night
that the tears paint the heavens
without solace
soul in pain, punishment of love
If you want to be the queen of my dreams,
drown all your fears
Emotions
don't listen to sense even if it's prudent
If you open your wings to the wind,
you'll see that this is the moment
to write another beginning
that has you and me
Don't hold on
The past is black chains
If you break them,
the future shines brightly
If I could start anew,
I'd be here, now and with you
Emotions
don't listen to sense even if it's prudent
If you open your wings to the wind,
you'll see that this is the moment
to write another beginning
that has you and me
If you want, I'll stop time for you,
and the moment will last forever
Emotions
don't listen to sense even if it's prudent
If you open your wings to the wind,
you'll see that this is the moment
to write another beginning
that has you and me

The Guide Boy of Tormes / Lazarillo of Tormes
I was raised on Tormes river's riverbank
Theft kept me alive on this hostile land
My sad and poor mother handed me to a blind man
Who will become my master, and I, his hands
Our lives were owned by the picaresque
So cruel a life with no escape
The old man taught me the art of deception
And I felt strong with each passing day
Life's a battle
This luck we have to defeat
And when hunger strikes there's nothing else to lose
The blind man and the squire
The friar or the sheriff
They never gave me as much as I gave to them
Among alms, I was begging on the streets
With the avarice of whom never is satisfied
I left my masters because I didn't believe in miracles
And I bought a sword, but it was all in vane
I followed the path of losers
But I found a chore
I became a man of honor
The tale wanted me to marry the princess
But I always loved the maid
Life's a battle
This luck we have to defeat
And when hunger strikes there's nothing else to lose
The blind man and the squire
The friar or the sheriff
They never gave me as much as I gave to them
And now the books tell the story of my life
But to history, I was a loser
A futureless liar, lazy man, and miserable thief
But I fought against the misery
Of a century of gold that forgot
That what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and polishes the heart
