[English]

If I'm angry

It's better if you don't listen

To the things I tell you

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 am in love with you

Even though I never say that I am

Oh Candy

I don't want you to feel bad

With love between the two of us

We shouldn't fail

I say I'm leaving you

Without thinking

Because when I get angry

I say things without control

But how could I leave you?

Oh Candy, you are my love

The reason why I live

Oh Candy

I've always felt love for you

I am in love with you

Even though I never say that I am

Oh Candy

I don't want you to feel bad

With love between the two of us

We shouldn't fail

Oh Candy

I've always felt love for you

I am in love with you

Even though I never say that I am

Oh Candy

I don't want you to feel bad

With love between the two of us

We shouldn't fail

Oh Candy

I've always felt love for you

I am in love with you

Even though I never say that I am

Oh Candy

I don't want you to feel bad

With love between the two of us

[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
