You were a girlTu eras una niña
Fascinated by the lightFascinada por la luz
That the trail emittedQue desprendia la estela
Of the comet hale boppDel cometa hale bopp

You watched it every night pointing its altitudeLo mirabas cada noche apuntando su altitud
You attracted it with your eyes to where you wereLo atraías con los ojos hasta donde estabas tu

You decided to disappearDecidiste desaparecer
And jump to catch yourself in its wakeY saltar para agarrarte en su estela

From the airDesde el aire
You could seePudiste ver
Everything you left on earthTodo aquello que dejabas en la tierra

The eyewitnesses of your orbitLos testigos oculares de tu orbita
Know the exact day you will returnSaben el dia exacto en el que volveras
I've been calculating it since '96Lo llevo calculando desde el '96
I wait for you at the window 20 years laterTe espero en la ventana 20 años después
And I've thought about disappearingY he pensado desaparecer
And jumping to catch myself in its wakeY saltar para agarrarme en su estela
From the air, we will be able to seeDesde el aire, podremos ver
Everything we left on earthTodo aquello que dejamos en la tierra

More than 20 years have passedHan pasado mas de 20 años
And I have never stopped looking towards spaceY nunca he dejado de mirar hacia el espacio
I felt the cold in your handsHe notado el frio en tus manos
And you didn't realize I was always by your sideY no te diste cuenta de que siempre estuve al lado

Because I wanted to disappearPorque quise desaparecer
And jump to catch myself in its wakeY saltar para agarrarme en su estela
From the air, we will be able to seeDesde el aire podremos ver
Everything we left on earthTodo aquello que dejamos en la tierra
