The story
Lyrics
El Último Adiós (Lyrics):
Se quebró la calma
Y el silencio en ruido se volvió
Quedaron desnudos
Nuestra imagen y nuestro dolor
Se mezclaba el cielo
Junto con la calle y el rencor
Nos lleno de miedo
Donde fue el amor
Dime si el dolor despierta el alma
Dime si es capaz, de despertar el corazón
Ni todo el rencor ni la venganza
Nos va a poder calmar las ganas
De ver de nuevo aquellas caras
