[English]

I don't know if I want to resolve the doubt

I don't know if I have a question

I want to avoid it

Having to choose

Splitting myself in two

Sometimes I laughed in the dark

When I was free, I felt guilty

I want to get you used to it

Don't make me choose one

I'm nothing if

They split me in two

Let me name what I am

I decide that

I'm going to invent it

Even if later, I destroy it

I'm nothing without

I'm nothing without you

Doomed to always be no one

Doomed to be untimely

Doomed to be like the moon

...

[Spanish]

No sé si quiero resolver la duda

No sé si tengo una pregunta

Lo quiero evitar

Tener que elegir

Dividirme en dos

A veces me reía a oscuras

Cuando fui libre, sentí culpa

Te quiero acostumbrar

No me hagas elegir alguna

No soy nada si

Me dividen en dos

Déjenme ponerle nombre a lo que soy

Eso lo decido yo

Lo voy a inventar

Aunque después, más tarde, lo destruya

No soy nada sin

No soy nada sin vos

Condenado a ser siempre ninguna

Condenada a ser inoportuna

Condenada a ser como la luna
