[English]

One day you love me

Then you hate me and don't want to see my face

You're in a good mood, and a little later you're in a bad one

It's okay

Because I'm like that too

One day you ignore me

Then you get jealous and argue with me about everything

For a photo, a message you see of me

You imagine almost a whole soap opera

I'm like that too

One day you want to break up and the next, come back

I know that's not normal, but...

But I love you like that

And I wouldn't trade you for anything

Without you, I don't know how to live anymore

I'll die if you leave

And it's that I love you like that

My toxic love of the soul

And even if it costs us to coexist

I would marry you

And what they say doesn't matter to us

...

But I love you like that

And I wouldn't trade you for anything

Without you, I don't know how to live anymore

I'll die if you leave

And it's that I love you like that

My toxic love of the soul

And even if it costs us to coexist

I would marry you

And what they say doesn't matter to us

...

My toxic love of the soul

...

[Spanish]

Un día me amas

Luego me odias y no quieres ver mi cara

Estás de buenas y al ratito estás de malas

No pasa nada

Porque también yo soy así

Un día no me pelas

Luego me celas y por todo me peleas

Por una foto, un mensaje que me veas

Tú te imaginas casi toda una novela

También yo soy así

Un día quieres terminar y al otro regresar

Yo sé que eso no es normal, pero...

Pero yo te quiero así

Y no te cambio por nada

Sin ti, ya no sé vivir

Yo me muero si te largas

Y es que yo te quiero así

Mi amor tóxico del alma

Y aunque nos cueste convivir

Contigo yo sí me casaba

Y lo que digan que nos valga

Christian Nodal

Pero yo te quiero así

Y no te cambio por nada

Sin ti, ya no sé vivir

Yo me muero si te largas

Y es que yo te quiero así

Mi amor tóxico del alma

Y aunque nos cueste convivir

Contigo, yo sí me casaba

Y lo que digan que nos valga

Mi amor tóxico del alma
