El Universo sobre mí [English translation]

Only one candle remains

lit in the center of the cake

and it's about to go out.

The guests are leaving,

you and I look at each other

without really knowing what to say.

Nothing that could unveil what I feel:

That this day has been perfect

and I seem so happy...

Nothing like [saying] that since a long time ago

I have to force myself to smile.

I want to live,

I want to shout,

I want to feel

the Universe over me.

I want to run free,

I want to find my place.

A trick of destiny,

a fast melody

in a never-ending song.

I have had enough;

I need someone who understands

that I'm lonely in the middle of a crowd.

What can I do?

I want to live,

I want to shout,

I want to feel

the Universe over me.

I want to run free,

I want to weep for joy.

I want to live,

I want to feel

the Universe over me,

like someone shipwrecked at sea.

I want to find my place,

just to find my place.

All the broken toys,

all the crazy lovers,

all the patent leather shoes.

All the dollhouses

where I threw parties

and there was only me.

It's returning the forgotten spirit

of the Summer of Love.

I want to live,

I want to shout

I want to feel

the Universe over me.

I want to run free,

I want to weep for joy.

I want to live,

I want to feel

the Universe over me,

like someone shipwrecked at sea.

I want to find my place,

just to find my place.

I want to live,

I want to shout,

I want to feel,

the Universe over me.

I want to run free,

I want to weep for joy.

I want to live,

I want to feel

the Universe over me,

like someone shipwrecked at sea.

I want to find...

...my place...

Only one candle remains

lit in the center of the cake

and it's about to go out.
