Catedral [Cathedral Song] [English translation]

The desert that I crossed

No one saw me crossing it

Strange and alone

I couldn't even see that the sky is bigger

I tried to tell

But I saw you

So far away from arriving

But closer to any place

The place where I found you is a desert

You just saw me pass by

Running alone

I couldn't even see that time is bigger

I looked at myself

I saw myself like this

So close to arriving

In a place that you aren't

In the silence there's a cathedral

A temple inside me

Wherever I'm immortal

But it will exist

I know, it must exist

It will resist in our place

Who can avoid loneliness

I found you just then

My heart is secular

It dreams and flows inside of me

Tomorrow, slowly

Tell me how to come back

If I tell you that it was because of love

I won't lie to myself

If I tell you to leave it for now

Wasn't it always like this?

I looked at myself

I saw myself like this

So close to arriving

In a place that you aren't
