[English]

Who are you trying to fool?

I can read the truth in your eyes

And I know you're lying

Why pretend?

If you're here but not really here

Worried and indifferent

Where do you think you're going?

If love is everything and more

And the heart, the heart never lies

If you truly love him

Don't waste any more time

I wish you all the best

Run and go to him

Don't hesitate, woman

Why keep deceiving yourself?

If you gain nothing

Run and go to him

Today it's my turn to lose

I never imagined

You could be so fake

...

Who are you trying to fool?

I can read the truth in your eyes

Run and go to him

Why keep deceiving yourself?

If you gain nothing

Run and go to him

Today it's my turn to lose

I never imagined

You could be so fake

...

Run and go to him

Don't hesitate, woman

Why keep deceiving yourself?

If you gain nothing

Run and go to him

[Spanish]

¿A quién quieres engañar?

Si puedo leer la verdad en tus ojos

Y sé que mientes

¿Para qué disimulas?

Si estas aquí sin estar

Preocupada e indiferente

¿A dónde quieres llegar?

Si el amor es todo y más

Y el corazón y el corazón nunca miente

Si le quieres de verdad

No pierdas tu tiempo más

Te deseo mucha suerte

Corre y ve con él

No lo dudes, mujer

¿A qué engañarte más?

Si no ganas nada

Corre y ve con él

Hoy me toca perder

Yo nunca me imaginé

Que fueras tan falsa

¿A quién quieres engañar?

Si puedo leer la verdad en tus ojos

Y sé que mientes

Si le quieres de verdad

No pierdas tu tiempo más

Te deseo mucha suerte

Corre y ve con él

No lo dudes, mujer

¿A qué engañarte más?

Si no ganas nada

Corre y ve con él

Hoy me toca perder

Yo nunca me imaginé

Que fueras tan falsa

Corre y ve con él

No lo dudes, mujer

¿A qué engañarte más?

Si no ganas nada

Corre y ve con él
