[English]

Paint

Stars in your darkest sky

Laugh at my fears and yours

We'd die if things go wrong

I've come to change

The part of my story you know

There’s always a human side and a sober side

All in the same place

If I fall, you

Leave a light on

If I fall, you

Leave a light on

There's more

I've seen you pull out of misery

My joy without anyone knowing

Lying to fix the truth

If I fall, you

Leave a light on

If I fall, you

Leave a light on

May what remains of us

Serve as an example of how to endure

The constant beat of life

Yours, mine and everyone else's

All I ask is that if I fall, you

Leave a light on

If I fall, you

Leave a light on

If I fall, you

Leave a light on

...

[Spanish]

Pintar

Estrellas en tu cielo más oscuro

Reírnos de mis miedos y los tuyos

Morirnos si las cosas van mal

He venido a cambiar

La parte que conoces de mi historia

Siempre hay una humana y otra sobria

Todas en el mismo lugar

Si me derrumbo, tú

Deja encendida una luz

Si me derrumbo, tú

Deja encendida una luz

Hay más

Te he visto sacar de la miseria

Mi alegría sin que lo supiera

Mentir para arreglar la verdad

Si me derrumbo, tú

Deja encendida una luz

Si me derrumbo, tú

Deja encendida una luz

Que lo que queda de nosotros

Nos sirva de ejemplo de cómo aguantar

El pulso constante a la vida

La tuya, la mía y la de los demás

Yo solo te pido que si me derrumbo, tú

Deja encendida una luz

Si me derrumbo, tú

Deja encendida una luz

Si me derrumbo, tú

Deja encendida una luz
