[English]

Look into my eyes

Because I feel you are different

I’m afraid of us

That this love has suddenly worn out

Remind me again

When everything was new

The day you fell in love

When we said ours would be eternal

Please don’t tell me you’re going to leave

Because you’re going to break my heart

If you ask me to change, I will do whatever you ask

It’s human to make more than one mistake

What does it cost you to give me your forgiveness?

I swear I won’t be able to bear your goodbye

Even if they say there’s no evil that lasted more than a hundred years

I wouldn’t want to be the first fool to prove it

A love like ours you know is not seen every day

A love like ours is worth saving, oh, oh, oh

...

Oh, Chichí!

Go for it, my brother

Hey, Carlitos, cheers, buddy!

Cheers!

Mexico and Colombia

One heart, brother

Long live the beautiful ladies!

Please don’t tell me you’re going to leave

Because you’re going to break my heart

If you want me to change, I will do whatever you ask

It’s human to make more than one mistake

Oh, what does it cost you to give me your forgiveness?

I swear I won’t be able to bear your goodbye

Even if they say there’s no evil that lasted more than a hundred years

I wouldn’t want to be the first fool to prove it

A love like ours you know is not seen every day

A love like ours is worth saving

Oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

...

[Spanish]

Mírame a los ojos

Que te siento diferente

Tengo miedo de nosotros

Que este amor se haya gastado de repente

Vuelve a recordarme

Cuando todo era nuevo

El día que te enamoraste

Que dijimos que lo nuestro sería eterno

No me digas que te vas a ir, por favor

Que me vas a destrozar el corazón

Si me pides que yo cambie, yo haré lo que tú me pidas

Es de humanos cometer más de un error

¿Qué te cuesta regalarme tu perdón?

Te lo juro que no voy a soportar tu despedida

Aunque digan que no hay mal que duró más de cien años

No quisiera ser el primer idiota en comprobarlo

Un amor como el nuestro sabes que no se ve a diario

Un amor como el nuestro vale la pena salvarlo, oh, oh, oh

¡Ay, Chichí!

Échale, mi hermano

Oiga, Carlitos, ¡salud, parcero!

¡Salud!

México y Colombia

Un solo corazón, hermano

¡Que vivan las mamacitas!

No me digas que te vas a ir, por favor

Que me vas a destrozar el corazón

Si tú quieres que yo cambie, yo haré lo que tú me pidas

Es de humanos cometer más de un error

Ay, ¿qué te cuesta regalarme tu perdón?

Te lo juro que no voy a soportar tu despedida

Aunque digan que no hay mal que duró más de cien años

No quisiera ser el primer idiota en comprobarlo

Un amor como el nuestro sabes que no se ve a diario

Un amor como el nuestro vale la pena salvarlo

Oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
