[English]

If I'm angry

Better not listen

To the things I say

Because I might hurt you

And if I hurt you

It's not my intention

Don't listen anymore, my love

It's for the best

Oh Candy

I've always felt love for you

I'm in love with you

Even if I never say it

Oh Candy

I don't want you to feel bad

With love between us two

We shouldn't fail

I say I'll leave without thinking

Because when I'm angry

I say things without control

But how could I leave you

Oh Candy, you are my love

The reason I live

Oh Candy

I've always felt love for you

I'm in love with you

Even if I never say it

Oh Candy

I don't want you to feel bad

With love between us two

We shouldn't fail

...

Oh Candy

I've always felt love for you

I'm in love with you

Even if I never say it

Oh Candy

I don't want you to feel bad

With love between us two

We shouldn't fail

Oh Candy

I've always felt love for you

I'm in love with you

Even if I never say it

Oh Candy

I don't want you to feel bad

With love between us two

...

[Spanish]

Si estoy enojado

Mejor no escuches

Las cosas que te digo

Pues te puedo lastimar

Y si te lastimo

No es mi intención

No escuches más mi amor

Es lo mejor

Oh Candy

Por ti siempre he sentido amor

De ti estoy enamorado

Aunque nunca diga que lo estoy

Oh Candy

No quiero que te sientas mal

Habiendo amor entre los dos

No debemos fracasar

Digo te dejo sin pensarlo

Pues cuando me enojo

Digo cosas sin control

Más cómo dejarte

Oh Candy, tú eres mi amor

La razón por la que vivo yo

Oh Candy

Por ti siempre he sentido amor

De ti estoy enamorado

Aunque nunca diga que lo estoy

Oh Candy

No quiero que te sientas mal

Habiendo amor entre los dos

No debemos fracasar

Oh Candy

Por ti siempre he sentido amor

De ti estoy enamorado

Aunque nunca diga que lo estoy

Oh Candy

No quiero que te sientas mal

Habiendo amor entre los dos

No debemos fracasar

Oh Candy

Por ti siempre he sentido amor

De ti estoy enamorado

Aunque nunca diga que lo estoy

Oh Candy

No quiero que te sientas mal

Habiendo amor entre los dos
