She, she glides and runs me over

And even though sometimes I don't care

I know that the day I lose her, I will suffer again

Because of her, who appears and hides

Who leaves and stays

Who is a question and an answer

Who is my darkness, my star

She, she combs the soul and tangles it

She goes with me but doesn't know where she's going

My rival, my companion

Who is so inside my life

And at the same time is so outside

Chorus 1

I know I will get lost again

And I will find her again

But with a different face

And a different name and a different body

But she remains the same

Who once again takes me

She never answers me, when the wheel turns

She, she becomes cold and eternal

A sigh in the storm

To whom I changed the voice so many times

People who come and go

And it's always her

Who lies to me and denies it

Who forgets me and reminds me

But, if my mouth, makes a mistake

But, if my mouth, makes a mistake

And when I call her, I name another

Sometimes she feels compassion for this crazy

Blind and crazy heart

Be, whatever God wants it to be

My crime is the clumsiness of ignoring

That there are those who have no heart

And they keep burning me and it burns me

What if it were her?

Bridge

Sometimes she feels compassion

For this crazy, blind and crazy heart

Chorus 3

Was it her? Who can tell me if it was her?

And if life is a wheel and it keeps turning

And no one knows when they have to jump

And I look at her, what if it were her?

What if it were her?

Outro

What if it were her?
