[English]

Five minutes and nothing more

Five minutes and you'll see

Looking into my eyes, I didn't lie to you

That my love is everything, only for you

...

And the cumbia is danced like this

El Gordo Luis

El Gordo Luis

...

Unpack those bags

Don't cross that door

Come, and sit down

Listen to me

Don't throw it all away

Everything we've lived

For someone who

I don't even know who they are

Don't let yourself be swayed

By everything they say

And you must verify

That all they want is to do us harm

Give me five minutes and nothing more

Just five minutes and you'll see

Looking into my eyes, I didn't lie to you

That my love is everything, only for you

Five minutes and then you'll know

What you are in the world, my love, my peace

Unpack those bags

Don't go, no

I beg you on my knees, don't say goodbye

...

Don't throw it all away

Everything we've lived

For someone who

I don't even know who they are

Don't let yourself be swayed

By everything they say

And you must verify

That all they want is to do us harm

Give me five minutes and nothing more

Just five minutes and you'll see

Looking into my eyes, I didn't lie to you

That my love is everything, only for you

Five minutes and then you'll know

What you are in the world, my love, my peace

Unpack those bags

Don't go, no

I beg you on my knees, don't say goodbye

Five minutes and nothing more

Five minutes and then you'll know

Looking into my eyes, I didn't lie to you

That my love is everything, only for you

Five minutes and nothing more

Five minutes and you'll see

Unpack those bags

Don't go, no

I beg you on my knees, don't say goodbye

...

Unpack those bags

Don't go, no

I beg you on my knees, don't say goodbye

Five minutes

[Spanish]

Cinco minutos y nada más

Cinco minutos y así verás

Mirándome a los ojos que no te mentí

Que mi amor es todo solo para ti

Y la cumbia se baila, así

El gordo Luis

El gordo Luis

Desarma esas valijas

No cruces esa puerta

Ven, y siéntate

Escúchame

No tires al vacío

Todo lo vivido

Por alguien que

Ni sé quién es

No te dejes llevar

Por todo lo que dicen

Y debes comprobar

Que todo lo que quieren es hacernos mal

Dame cinco minutos y nada más

Solo cinco minutos y así verás

Mirándome a los ojos que no te mentí

Que mi amor es todo solo para ti

Cinco minutos y así sabrás

Que sos en el mundo, mi amor, mi paz

Desarma esas valijas

No te vayas, no

Te pido de rodillas, no me des tu adiós

No tires al vacío

Todo lo vivido

Por alguien que

Ni sé quién es

No te dejes llevar

Por todo lo que dicen

Y debes comprobar

Que todo lo que quieren es hacernos mal

Dame cinco minutos y nada más

Solo cinco minutos y así verás

Mirándome a los ojos que no te mentí

Que mi amor es todo, solo para ti

Cinco minutos y así sabrás

Que sos en el mundo, mi amor, mi paz

Desarma esas valijas

No te vayas, no

Te pido de rodillas, no me des tu adiós

Cinco minutos y nada más

Cinco minutos y así sabrás

Mirándome a los ojos que no te mentí

Que mi amor es todo solo para ti

Cinco minutos y nada más

Cinco minutos y así verás

Desarma esas valijas

No te vayas, no

Te pido de rodillas, no me des tu adiós

Desarma esas valijas

No te vayas, no

Te pido de rodillas, no me des tu adiós

Cinco minutos
