[English]

It's true, I'm not going to lie to you

I still think about you

But that doesn't mean

That I'll come back to you

I'm lying just by telling you

That I don't feel you anymore

I'm lying because I do think about you

But it's not the same

You're killing me slowly

You're stealing my soul

Tell me what you're doing

If you loved me

You leave me breathless

I run out of words

Me missing you

And you acting like nothing happened

And my love

For not doing things right

Everything's lost

Rumors are waters that the river carries away

Everything's lost

And my love

For not doing things right

Everything's lost

Rumors are waters that the river carries away

Everything's lost

I can't find the way

To forget you

I get lost in sighs of loving you

God knows it

The caresses and kisses, all the moments

It's not too late yet

Why do you now only dance with him

And remembering me

You're breaking your soul

You're killing me slowly

You're stealing my soul

Tell me what you're doing

If you loved me

And my love

For not doing things right

Everything's lost

Rumors are waters that the river carries away

Everything's lost

And my love

For not doing things right

Everything's lost

Rumors are waters that the river carries away

Everything's lost

And my love

For not doing things right

Everything's lost

Rumors are waters that the river carries away

Everything's lost

And my love

For not doing things right

Everything's lost

Rumors are waters that the river carries away

Everything's lost

[Spanish]

Es cierto, no te voy a mentir

Yo todavía te pienso

Pero eso no quiere decir

Que yo vuelva contigo

Te miento con solo decirte

Que ya no te siento

Te miento porque sí te pienso

Pero no es lo mismo

Me estás matando lento

Me estás robando el alma

Dime qué estás haciendo

Si tú me amabas

Me dejas sin aliento

Me faltan las palabras

Yo echándote de menos

Y tú haciendo como si nada

Y amor mío

Por no hacer las cosas bien

Todo ha perdi'o

Los rumores son aguas que lleva el río

Todo ha perdi'o

Y amor mío

Por no hacer las cosas bien

Todo ha perdi'o

Los rumores son aguas que lleva el río

Todo ha perdi'o

No encuentro la manera de

Olvidarte

Me pierdo entre suspiros de amarte

Dios lo sabe

Las caricias y los besos, todos los momentos

Todavía no es tarde

Por qué ahora solo bailas con él

Y acordándote de mí

Te vas partiendo el alma

Me estás matando lento

Me estás robando el alma

Dime qué estás haciendo

Si tú me amabas

Y amor mío

Por no hacer las cosas bien

Todo ha perdi'o

Los rumores son aguas que lleva el río

Todo ha perdi'o

Y amor mío

Por no hacer las cosas bien

Todo ha perdi'o

Los rumores son aguas que lleva el río

Todo ha perdi'o

Y amor mío

Por no hacer las cosas bien

Todo ha perdi'o

Los rumores son aguas que lleva el río

Todo ha perdi'o

Y amor mío

Por no hacer las cosas bien

Todo ha perdi'o

Los rumores son aguas que lleva el río

Todo ha perdi'o
