[English]

They told me that destiny was written,

that my steps were tiny,

that my world was endless.

And now look at me,

I'm on my throne, no owner for my gold.

I'm the wind, I'm the wolf.

Like this, like this, like this.

This doesn't have to be like this.

Like this, like this, like this.

You're nothing to me.

Like this, like this, like this.

And you forgot who I am.

Like this, like this, like this.

And I was the one who broke your heart.

Your voice tied me down, but it didn't defeat me.

I wanted to save you, but I saved myself.

There are no more promises, no more maybes.

I closed the door and I'm not looking back.

That because of you, I was nothing.

My light was fading, it wasn't shining anymore.

Like this, like this, like this.

This doesn't have to be like this.

Like this, like this, like this.

You're nothing to me.

Like this, like this, like this.

And you forgot who I am.

Like this, like this, like this.

And I was the one who broke your heart.

I wasn't feeling it.

Now I understand everything you told me.

And you swore you loved me.

Nothing's left.

Of your lie.

And now look at me,

I'm on my throne, no owner for my gold.

I'm the wind, I'm the wolf.

Like this, like this, like this.

This doesn't have to be like this.

Like this, like this, like this.

You're nothing to me.

Like this, like this, like this.

And you forgot who I am.

Like this, like this, like this.

And I was the one who broke your heart.

The bill is paid.

I owe you nothing.

To not waste my time.

I want to walk alone.

Oh-oh-oh-oh.

Oh-oh-oh-oh.

Oh-oh-oh-oh.

[Spanish]

Me dijeron que el destino estaba escrito,

que mi paso era chiquito,

que mi mundo era infinito.

Y ahora mírame,

estoy en mi trono, ya no hay dueño pa' mi oro.

Soy el viento, soy el lobo.

Así, así, así.

Esto no tiene que ser así.

Así, así, así.

Tú no eres nada pa' mí.

Así, así, así.

Y olvidaste de quién soy yo.

Así, así, así.

Y fui yo quien te rompió el corazón.

Tu voz me ataba, pero no me venció.

Quise salvarte, pero me salvé yo.

Ya no hay promesa, ya no hay quizás.

Cerré la puerta y no miro atrás.

Que por ti yo no era nada.

Mi luz se apagaba, ya no brillaba.

Así, así, así.

Esto no tiene que ser así.

Así, así, así.

Tú no eres nada pa' mí.

Así, así, así.

Y olvidaste de quién soy yo.

Así, así, así.

Y fui yo quien te rompió el corazón.

Yo no lo sentía.

Ahora entiendo todo lo que me decías.

Y me jurabas que tú me amabas.

Ya no queda nada.

De tu mentira.

Y ahora mírame,

estoy en mi trono, ya no hay dueño pa' mi oro.

Soy el viento, soy el lobo.

Así, así, así.

Esto no tiene que ser así.

Así, así, así.

Tú no eres nada pa' mí.

Así, así, así.

Y olvidaste de quién soy yo.

Así, así, así.

Y fui yo quien te rompió el corazón.

La cuenta está pagada.

Yo no te debo nada.

Para no perder mi tiempo.

Caminar sola quiero.

Oh-oh-oh-oh.

Oh-oh-oh-oh.

Oh-oh-oh-oh.
