[English]

A game of craziness,

A foolish delirium it has been to live with you

And I almost burst upon knowing everything

I swear, I wanted to die.

Lift your face, don't pretend to be surprised

What do you say? I saw you myself.

And they are not ghosts, they have seen you with others

I don't understand what you want from me.

Rascal, I don't even want to see you, rascal

You played love with two faces

With one smiling and with the other pretending to love me.

Rascal, I don't even want to see you, rascal

Don't set foot in this house

Don't dirty the air, don't stain my life

Better that you leave me.

Lift your face, don't pretend to be surprised

What do you say? I saw you myself.

And they are not ghosts, they have seen you with others

I don't understand what you want from me.

Rascal, I don't even want to see you, rascal

You played love with two faces

With one smiling and with the other pretending to love me.

Rascal, I don't even want to see you, rascal

Don't set foot in this house

Don't dirty the air, don't stain my life

Better that you leave me.

I don't want to see you anymore, I can't stand you anymore

I can't take it anymore, go far away

I don't want to see you anymore, I can't stand you anymore

Because you were never sincere.

Rascal! you mocked me

Rascal! I don't want you anymore

Rascal! go away from my side

Rascal! I don't want you anymore.

Rascal, I don't even want to see you, rascal

You played love with two faces

With one smiling and with the other pretending to love me.

Rascal, I don't even want to see you, rascal

Don't set foot in this house

Don't dirty the air, don't stain my life

Better that you leave me.

And what is useless goes to the trash

Rascal.

[Spanish]

Un juego de locos,

Un tonto delirio ha sido vivir junto a ti

Y casi reviento al saberlo todo

Te juro, me quise morir.

Levanta la cara, no finjas asombro

¿Qué dices? yo misma te vi.

Y no son fantasmas, te han visto con otras

No entiendo que quieres de mí.

Canalla, no quiero ni verte canalla

Jugaste al amor a dos caras

Con una sonriendo y con la otra fingiéndome amor.

Canalla, no quiero ni verte canalla

No pongas ni un pie en esta casa

No ensucies el aire, no manches mi vida

Mejor que te vayas de mí.

Levanta la cara, no finjas asombro

¿Qué dices? yo misma te vi.

Y no son fantasmas, te han visto con otras

No entiendo que quieres de mí.

Canalla, no quiero ni verte canalla

Jugaste al amor a dos caras

Con una sonriendo y con la otra fingiéndome amor.

Canalla, no quiero ni verte canalla

No pongas ni un pie en esta casa

No ensucies el aire, no manches mi vida

Mejor que te vayas de mí.

No quiero verte más, no te soporto más

Ya no te aguanto mas, vete lejos

No quiero verte más, no te soporto más

Por que tú nunca fuiste sincero.

¡Canalla¡ tu te burlaste de mí

¡Canalla¡ ya no te quiero

¡Canalla¡ vete de mi lado

¡Canalla¡ ya no te quiero.

Canalla, no quiero ni verte canalla

Jugaste al amor a dos caras

Con una sonriendo y con la otra fingiéndome amor.

Canalla, no quiero ni verte canalla

No pongas ni un pie en esta casa

No ensucies el aire, no manches mi vida

Mejor que te vayas de mí.

Y lo que no sirve pala basura

Canalla.
