[English]

I'm going to write you a song

For every time I've missed you

I'm going to fill your hard drive

With songs saying 'I love you'

I'm going to succeed to be on the radio

So that you have to listen to me

I'm going to write you a message

That without you, I can't float

I'm going to send you all the letters

That I was never able to write

Filled with discount coupons

Of my love that never expires

I'm going to buy myself a ticket

Straight to the center of your heart

I'm going to love you until death

Or until they kick us out of this room

I'm going to invite you to all my parties

Without you knowing they're in your honor

I'm going to tell even my parents

That I like you a lot

(That I like you a lot)

...

I'm going to look for you at night

When they close the place

I'm going to get you a beer

So you stay a little longer

I'm going to take you to the wedding

Of my neoliberal cousin

I'm going to bring you white flowers

So you can color them

I'm going to laugh at your jokes

Even though you know they're the worst

Worse than all that crap

That talks about politics on television

I'm going to record you a nice album

Of love pop songs

I'm going to ask you to marry me

Even if you might say no

But however you say no

If you say no

It will be your worst mistake

...

[Spanish]

Voy a escribirte una canción

Por cada vez que te he echado de menos

Voy a llenar tu disco duro

De canciones con 'te quieros'

Voy a triunfar para sonar en la radio

Para que así me tengas que escuchar

Voy a escribirte en un mensaje

Que sin ti, no sé flotar

Voy a enviarte todas las cartas

De las que nunca fui capaz

Repletas de cupones descuento

De mi amor sin caducidad

Voy a comprarme un billete

Directo al centro de tu corazón

Voy a quererte hasta la muerte

O hasta que nos echen de este salón

Voy a invitarte a todas mis fiestas

Sin que sepas que son en tu honor

Voy a contarle hasta a mis padres

Que me gustas un montón

(Que me gustas un montón)

Voy a buscarte por las noches

Cuando cierren el local

Voy a pillarte una cerveza

Para que te quedes un rato más

Voy a llevarte a la boda

De mi primo el neoliberal

Voy a traerte flores blancas

Para que las puedas colorear

Voy a reírme de tus chistes

Aunque sepas que son lo peor

Peor que toda esa mierda

Que habla de política en televisión

Voy a grabarte un disco bonito

De canciones de pop de amor

Voy a pedirte que te cases conmigo

Aunque quizá digas que no

Pero como digas que no

Si dices que no

Será tu peor error
