[English]

Like a knife

In the butter

You entered my life

When I was dying

Like the moon

Through the crack

That's how you got in

Between my pupils

And so, I started loving you daily

Without a law, without a schedule (Uh-uh-uh)

...

And so, you kept waking me up

From every dream where you were (Uh-uh-uh)

...

And no one was looking for it

And no one planned it this way

It was in the destiny

That you would be for me

And no one bet on it

That I would be so happy

But Cupid took pity on me

Took pity on me (Took pity on me)

Uoh-oh, took pity on me

...

Like the rain

In the middle of the desert (In the middle of the desert)

You soaked my heart with faith

Drowned my fears

Like a sweet voice (Like a sweet voice)

In the silence (In the silence)

That's how love came to us

True love

And so, I started loving you daily

Without a law, without a schedule (Uh-uh-uh)

...

And so, you kept waking me up

From every dream where you were (Uh-uh-uh)

...

And no one was looking for it

And no one planned it this way

It was in the destiny

That you would be for me

And no one bet on it

That I would be so happy

But Cupid took pity on me

...

And no one bet on it

That I would be so happy

But Cupid took pity on me

...

Took pity on me (Took pity on me)

Oh, took pity on me

(Uh-uh-uh)

Took pity on me (Took pity on me)

But Cupid took pity on me

...

[Spanish]

Como cuchillo

En la mantequilla

Entraste a mi vida

Cuando me moría

Como la luna

Por la rendija

Así te metiste

Entre mis pupilas

Y así, te fui queriendo a diario

Sin una ley, sin un horario (Uh-uh-uh)

Y así, me fuiste despertando

De cada sueño donde estabas (Uh-uh-uh)

Y nadie lo buscaba

Y nadie lo planeó así

En el destino estaba

Que fueras para mí

Y nadie le apostaba

A que yo fuera tan feliz

Pero, Cupido se apiadó de mí

Se apiadó de mí (Se apiadó de mí)

Uoh-oh, se apiadó de mí

Como la lluvia

En pleno desierto (En pleno desierto)

Mojaste de fe mi corazón

Ahogaste mis miedos

Como una dulce voz (Como una dulce voz)

En el silencio (En el silencio)

Así, nos llegó el amor

Amor del bueno

Y así, te fui queriendo a diario

Sin una ley, sin un horario (Uh-uh-uh)

Y así, me fuiste despertando

De cada sueño donde estabas (Uh-uh-uh)

Y nadie lo buscaba

Y nadie lo planeó así

En el destino estaba

Que fueras para mí

Y nadie le apostaba

A que yo fuera tan feliz

Pero, Cupido se apiadó de mí

Y nadie le apostaba

A que yo fuera tan feliz

Pero, Cupido se apiadó de mí

Se apiadó de mí (Se apiadó de mí)

Oh, se apiadó de mí

(Uh-uh-uh)

Se apiadó de mí (Se apiadó de mí)

Pero Cupido se apiadó de mí
