[English]

(Even if you run, you hide, you can't escape)

(Even if you run, you hide, you can't escape)

Hey, you and I, it's like this

It goes up and down, but one day at last

Without wanting to, we're doing well

When one has said "it's over"

A voice says "no" and stays

If you decide to leave me

I'm not going to beg you

It's up to you if later

Even if you run, you hide

You can't escape

Even if you run, you hide

You can't escape

Today, if you leave, you'll see

That it's not so easy to forget

It tastes good, it tastes bad

Either way, but it's so real

That in the end

Nothing else matters to you, no, no, yeah

If you decide to leave me

I'm not going to beg you

It's up to you if later

Even if you run, you hide

You can't escape

Even if you run, you hide

You can't escape

You will run (You will run)

You will hide (You will hide)

But, you won't escape (You won't escape)

You will run (You will run)

You will hide (You will hide)

But, you won't escape

Today a voice says no and stays

Run and tell me goodbye

If you decide to leave me

I'm not going to beg you (I won't beg)

It's up to you if later (If later)

Even if you run, you hide

You can't escape

If you decide to leave me (Ah, ah-ah)

I'm not going to beg you (You have to go)

It's up to you if later (Ah, ah-ah)

Even if you run, you hide

You can't escape (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

You can run

You can run

You can run

You can run

You can run (Run and you'll see, run and you'll see)

You can run (You're never going to escape)

You can run (Run and you'll see, run and you'll see)

You can run (You're never going to escape)

You can run

You can run

(You can't escape)

(Even if you run, you hide, you can't escape)

(Aunque corras, te escondas, no puedes escapar)

(Aunque corras, te escondas, no puedes escapar)

Hey, tú y yo, es así

Sube y baja, pero un día al fin

Sin querer, nos va bien

Cuando uno ha dicho "se acabó"

Una voz dice "no" y se queda

Si decides dejarme

No te voy a suplicar

Allá tú, si más tarde

Aunque corras, te escondas

No puedes escapar

Aunque corras, te escondas

No puedes escapar

Hoy, si te vas, ya verás

Que no es tan fácil olvidar

Sabe bien, sabe mal

Como sea, pero es tan real

Que al final

Lo demás no te importa, no, no, yeah

Si decides dejarme

No te voy a suplicar

Allá tú, si más tarde

Aunque corras, te escondas

No puedes escapar

Aunque corras, te escondas

No puedes escapar

Correrás (Correrás)
