[English]

If only you could understand

I'll explain it to you a thousand times again

You're so good at pretending you're fine

Avoid saying too many words, invent excuses

I can't stop wanting to touch you

I swear I can't stop

If I hadn't said "hello" to you

We would never have to say goodbye

You don't deserve me; I'm more than your heart can handle

This argument won't lead anywhere

Because you don't even make the slightest effort

Let me (let me!), let me have my say

We have a date in the operating room

The doctor will come, he'll perform surgery on me

He'll take out my heart, a heart transplant

There, my pain

You told lies, you know why

It's something I've always wanted to know

I'll devise some punishment to make you suffer

Things won't stay like this

Let me make you suffer, please

Because love doesn't exist

We have a date in the operating room

The doctor will come, he'll perform surgery on me

He'll take out my heart, a heart transplant

There, my pain

Steal my pain

I want you to know how it feels

So you can ask me for forgiveness (forgiveness!)

We have a date in the operating room

The doctor will come, he'll perform surgery on me

He'll take out my heart, a heart transplant

There, my pain (pain!)

Heart transplant

There, my pain

...

[Spanish]

Si tan solo pudieras entender

Mil veces te lo explicaré otra vez

Eres tan buena pretendiendo que estás bien

Evitar palabras de más, excusas inventar

Poderte tocar, no puedo parar

Te juro que yo no puedo parar

Si "hola" no te hubiera dicho yo

Jamás tendríamos que decir adiós

No me mereces, yo soy mucho para tu corazón

Esta discusión a nada llegará

Pues no haces ni el mínimo esfuerzo

Déjame (¡déjame!), déjame opinar

Tenemos una cita en el quirófano

Vendrá el doctor, me aplicará cirugía

Me sacará el corazón, trasplante de corazón

Ahí te va mi dolor

Mentiras dijiste, sabe por qué

Es algo que siempre he querido saber

Inventaré algún castigo para hacerte sufrir

Las cosas no se van a quedar así

Permíteme hacerte sufrir, por favor

Pues no existe el amor

Tenemos una cita en el quirófano

Vendrá el doctor, me aplicará cirugía

Me sacará el corazón, trasplante de corazón

Ahí te va mi dolor

Róbame el dolor

Quiero que sepas qué se siente

Para que me pidas perdón (¡perdón!)

Tenemos una cita en el quirófano

Vendrá el doctor, me aplicará cirugía

Me sacará el corazón, trasplante de corazón

Ahí te va mi dolor (¡dolor!)

Trasplante de corazón

Ahí te va mi dolor
