[English]

Wuh!

Let's go!

Yeh-yeh-yeh-yeh-yei

Babylon Girl

Oh-oh

Says

There was no intention

Just a tension between us

There was so much magic, baby

That it showed even in the photos

The idea was to fix things

Not to end up more broken

There was a failure in the direction

It was your bed

Not your heart, baby

We made love over and over again

I don't even know how to explain it, baby

I don't know if we were water or thirst

And now how do I tell you that I fell in love

I don't even know how to explain it

Oh, baby, I don't know if we were water or thirst

Oh-oh, hey, yo

If there was never an intention

Why so much mess between us

I don't want to drive anymore

If you're not going to be my co-pilot

The blame is on your face

I see it and I go crazy

There was a failure in the direction

It was your bed

Not your heart, baby

We made love over and over again

I don't even know how to explain it, baby

I don't know if we were water or thirst

And now how do I tell you that I fell in love

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Baby, I don't know if we were water or thirst

And now how do I tell you that I fell in love

For your skin, for your mouth

For how you speak, for your things

For how you dodge the "I love yous"

I love you because you're crazy

For your voice, for your fears

For your victories and your defeats

It was so easy for you

To make me fall in love with your heart

...

[Spanish]

¡Wuh!

¡Vamo!

Yeh-yeh-yeh-yeh-yei

Babylon Girl

Oh-oh

Dice

No había ninguna intención

Solo una tensión entre nosotros

Era tanta la magia, baby

Que se veía hasta en las fotos

La idea era arreglarnos

No terminar más rotos

Hubo un fallo en la dirección

Era tu cama

No tu corazón, bebé

Hicimos el amor una y otra vez

No sé ni cómo explicarlo, baby

Ya no sé si fuimos agua o sed

Y ahora cómo te digo que me enamoré

No sé ni cómo explicarlo

Oh, baby, ya no sé si fuimos agua o sed

Oh-oh, ey, yo

Si nunca había una intención

Por qué tanto enredo entre nosotros

Ya no quiero manejar

Si no va' a estar tú de copiloto

La culpa es de tu cara

Que la veo y me vuelvo loco

Hubo un fallo en la dirección

Era tu cama

No tu corazón, bebé

Hicimos el amor una y otra vez

No sé ni cómo explicarlo, baby

Ya no sé si fuimos agua o sed

Y ahora cómo te digo que me enamoré

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Baby, ya no sé si fuimos agua o sed

Y ahora cómo te digo que me enamoré

De tu piel, de tu boca

De cómo hablas, de tus cosas

De cómo esquivas los "te quiero"

Tú me encanta' porque estás loca

De tu voz, de tus miedos

De tus victorias y tus derrotas

Fue tan fácil para ti

Enamorarme con tu corazón
