[English]

I swore it would never happen to me again

It happened again

I thought Cupid wouldn't get me tangled in his game again

And here you are now

Uoh, uoh, uoh

Talking about love

Uoh, uoh, uoh

Talking about love

You have something unusual that I still can't figure out, but you stir my senses

Past loves have left me feeling sick, and I can't be sweet with you

I'm afraid you and Cupid will sell me a dream, and I'll fail again

That today you’re with me and tomorrow with your owner; if it happens again, I’ll die

Oh-oh-oh, uoh

I like you but I'm scared of failing in love

Oh-oh-oh, uoh

I like you but I'm scared of failing in love

I don’t believe in Cupid, but in your eyes I see that attitude (that made you trust)

My past has been tough, but I’m pretty sure that, princess, I can change it

The way you move so sexy for me

And how sweet your lips feel when they kiss me

By your side, the hours just slip away

Far from you, you don’t leave my mind, girl

The way you sexy dance for me

And how sweet your lips feel when they kiss me

By your side, the hours just slip away

Far from you, you don’t leave my mind, why?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You got me singing, mama

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I like you, baby

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You drive me crazy, mama

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

And I can’t deny it

And I, who promised I'd never believe in love again (and here you are now)

I spend my days thinking about you (talking about love)

And I, who was walking alone in the world, aimlessly (and here you are now)

And now that you’re here, bring back the light (talking about love)

I swore it would never happen to me again

It happened again

I thought Cupid wouldn't get me tangled in his game again

And here you are now

Uoh, uoh, uoh

Talking about love

Uoh, uoh, uoh

Talking about love

You have something unusual that I still can't figure out, but you stir my senses

Past loves have left me feeling sick, and I can't be sweet with you

I'm afraid you and Cupid will sell me a dream, and I'll fail again

That today you’re with me and tomorrow with your owner; if it happens again, I’ll die

Oh-oh-oh, uoh

I like you but I'm scared of failing in love

Oh-oh-oh, uoh

I like you but I'm scared of failing in love

The way you move so sexy for me

And how sweet your lips feel when they kiss me

By your side, the hours just slip away

Far from you, you don’t leave my mind, girl

The way you sexy dance for me

And how sweet your lips feel when they kiss me

By your side, the hours just slip away

Far from you, you don’t leave my mind, why?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You got me singing, mama

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I like you, baby

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You drive me crazy, mama

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

And I can’t deny it

[Spanish]

Juré que no volvería a sucederme de nuevo

Volvió a pasar

Que cupido no volvería enredarme en su juego

Y aquí ahora estás

Uoh, uoh, uoh

Hablando de amar

Uoh, uoh, uoh

Hablando de amar

Tú tienes algo inusual que aún no lo descifro, pero alteras mis sentidos

Otros amores del pasado me han dejado diabética, y no puedo ser dulce contigo

Le temo a que tú y cupido me vendan un sueño, y fallar de nuevo

A que hoy estés conmigo y mañana con tu dueña, si me vuelve a pasar me muero

Oh-oh-oh, uoh

Me gustas pero tengo miedo de fallar en el amor

Oh-oh-oh, uoh

Me gustas pero tengo miedo de fallar en el amor

Yo a cupido no le creo, pero en tus ojos veo esa actitud (que te hizo confiar)

A mí el pasado ha sido duro pero casi estoy seguro que, princesa, tú (lo puedo cambiar)

Con la forma en la que sexi me bailas

Y lo rico que tus labios me besan

A tu lado se me pasan las hora'

Lejos de ti no sales de mi cabeza, gyal

Con la forma en la que sexi me baila'

Y lo rico que tus labio' me besan

A tu lado se me pasan las hora'

Lejos de ti, no sales de mi cabeza, why?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You got me singing, mama

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Me gustas, nena

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You drive me crazy, mama

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Y no te lo puedo negar

Y yo que prometí que al amor no le creería más (y aquí ahora estás)

Me la paso pensando en ti todos los días (hablando de amar)

Y yo que caminaba solo en el mundo, sin rumbo (y aquí ahora estás)

Y ahora que estas tú, devuélveme la luz (hablando de amar)

Juré que no volvería a sucederme de nuevo

Volvió a pasar

Que cupido no volvería a enredarme en su juego

Y aquí ahora estás

Uoh, uoh, uoh
