[English]

I hope death doesn't come and kill me

I want to keep eating spaghetti with tomato sauce

You from one end and me from the other

Until we meet up and give each other a kiss on the mouth

I don't think this group will ever let you down

We only shoot arrows that are hits on the street

And they pierce you with the tip of a broken arrow

Which hurts much more than a punch to the mouth

I've written your name on the wall

When I wrote it, man, you should've seen how much I cried

People wear helmets while riding their motorcycles

Just to listen to Galaxia and Milhouse like crazy

I don't have much (I don't have much)

In my wallet, a twenty-dollar bill and your photo

Call me crazy (call me crazy)

Overdosing on love, look how I float

When you tell me that you want to leave

But you forget that you don't know how to lie

With that kind of self-esteem, you would've left already

You know, my five senses

They've told me it doesn't matter who the hell is at the top

Because they won't know when to stop and will crash at the stop sign

Yesterday the king of trap, tomorrow the king of pop

And today selling all your gifts on Wallapop

Because I don't need them (I don't need them)

They only make me think of your saintly face

And I know you love it (and I know you love it)

That I could drown in a glass of Fanta

Baby, I forgive you for everything you did

But I don't know, I think God doesn't exist

And He might not be there, or even worse

The day you tell me to leave, I'll leave, it's all over

[Spanish]

Espero que no venga la muerte y me mate

Quiero seguir comiendo espaguetis con tomate

Tú por una punta y yo por la otra

Hasta que nos juntamo' y nos damo' un beso en la boca

No creo que nunca este grupo te falle

Solo tiramo' flechas que son hits en la calle

Y te clavan la punta de una flecha rota

Que duele mucho más que un puñetazo en la boca

He escrito tu nombre en la pared

Cuando la escribí, no veas como lloré

La gente lleva puestos los cascos en la moto

Para escuchar Galaxia y Milhouse como locos

Yo tengo poco (yo tengo poco)

En la funda un billete de 20 y tu foto

Llámame loco (llámame loco)

Sobre dosis de amor, mira como floto

Cuando me dices que te quieres ir

Pero se te olvida que no sabes mentir

Con esa autoestima, ya te hubieses ido

You know, mis cinco sentidos

Me han dicho que da igual quién coño está en el top

Por no saber parar se chocarán en el stop

Ayer el rey del trap, mañana el rey del pop

Y hoy vendiendo todos tus regalo' en Wallapop

Porque no me hacen falta (no me hacen falta)

Solo me hacen pensar en su cara de santa

Y sé que te encanta (y sé que te encanta)

Que me pueda ahogar en un vaso de Fanta

Bebé, te perdono todo lo que hiciste

Pero no sé, creo que Dios no existe

Y podría no estar, o mucho peor

El día que me digas, lo dejo, se apagó
