[English]

Leave me, don't play with me anymore

This time, I'm telling you seriously

You had a chance

And you let it slip away

Leave me (Uh-uh-uh), don't come back to my side

Once (Uh-uh-uh), I was wrong

But now, all that’s gone

There’s nothing left of that love

There’s nothing you can do now

Because by your side I

Won’t come back, I won’t come back

No volveré, no volveré

Leave me (Uh-uh-uh), it no longer makes sense

It’s better (Uh-uh-uh) if you go your way

And I’ll follow my own

That’s why, now, leave me

...

There’s nothing you can do now

Because by your side I

Won’t come back, I won’t come back

Leave me (Uh-uh-uh), it no longer makes sense

It’s better (Uh-uh-uh) if you go your way

And I’ll follow my own

That’s why, now, leave me

You had a chance, ah-ah-ah

And you let it slip away

And you let it slip away

...

[Spanish]

Déjame, no juegues más conmigo

Esta vez, en serio te lo digo

Tuviste una oportunidad

Y la dejaste escapar

Déjame (Uh-uh-uh) No vuelvas a mi lado

Una vez (Uh-uh-uh) Estuve equivocado

Pero, ahora todo eso pasó

No queda nada de ese amor

No hay nada que ahora ya

Puedas hacer

Porque a tu lado yo

No volveré, no volveré

Déjame (Uh-uh-uh) Ya no tiene sentido

Es mejor (Uh-uh-uh) Que sigas tu camino

Que yo el mío seguiré

Por eso, ahora, déjame

No hay nada que ahora ya

Puedas hacer

Porque a tu lado yo

No volveré, no volveré

Déjame (Uh-uh-uh) Ya no tiene sentido

Es mejor (Uh-uh-uh) Que sigas tu camino

Que yo el mío seguiré

Por eso, ahora, déjame

Tuviste una oportunidad, ah-ah-ah

Y la dejaste escapar
