Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics

As the sun fallsAl caer el sol

Beneath the cloudless skyBajo el cielo despejado

Memories callLos recuerdos llaman

I utter no replyNo pronuncio respuesta

Don't wanna feelNo quiero sentir

The way I did beforeComo lo hice antes

It was surrealFue surrealista

But I must shut the doorPero debo cerrar la puerta

You're just a phantomEres solo un fantasma

I was so youngEra tan joven

And impressionableE impresionable

Wanted some funQuería divertirme

And you were beautifulY tú eras hermosa

That time is goneEse tiempo ha pasado

The set's been moved awayEl escenario se ha desmontado

Our scene is doneNuestra escena ha terminado

So why are you here?Entonces, ¿por qué estás aquí?

You little phantomPequeño fantasma

I want to knowQuiero saber

Why you're herePor qué estás aquí

I want to knowQuiero saber

Who you areQuién eres

And I think I might have an ideaY creo que podría tener una idea

(Chorus)(Coro)

You take me by surpriseMe tomas por sorpresa

With your outstretched hand and striking eyesCon tu mano extendida y tus ojos impactantes

But if I try and reach for youPero si intento alcanzarte

My hand will fail and slip right throughMi mano fallará y se deslizará

Cuz you're not therePorque no estás ahí

Only a phantomSolo un fantasma

I want to knowQuiero saber

Why you're herePor qué estás aquí

I want to knowQuiero saber

Who you areQuién eres

And I think I might have an ideaY creo que podría tener una idea

(Chorus)(Coro)

I want to knowQuiero saber

Why you're herePor qué estás aquí

I want to knowQuiero saber

Who you areQuién eres

And I think I might have an ideaY creo que podría tener una idea

Oh yes, I wish I could give inOh sí, desearía poder ceder

This lovely phantomEste encantador fantasma

Is my friendEs mi amigo

We'd fly awayVolaríamos lejos

Into the dark nightEn la oscura noche

Out of mind, out of sightFuera de la mente, fuera de la vista

But I can't give inPero no puedo ceder

You're just a phantomEres solo un fantasma
