[English]

Look at me, because it makes you very, very happy

And why that agony? Or are you going to deceive me?

Look at me, because everything is going very well

And that shadow of sorrow in your eyes, why?

You're sure you don't miss me

Many nights, when you would rather

That his hands were mine, and his skin my skin

You're sure

That you've never called him by my name

That you've never lied to him

That you've never felt yourself desiring me

Look at me, because you couldn't be better off

And what happened to your hair, your beautiful hair, love

Look at me, because it makes you very, very happy

And that cold tear is just normal, right?

You're sure you don't miss me

Many nights, when you would rather

That his hands were mine, and his skin my skin

You're sure

That you've never called him by my name

That you've never lied to him

That you've never felt yourself desiring me

You're sure you don't miss me

Many nights, when you would rather

That his hands were mine, and his skin my skin

You're sure

That you've never called him by my name

That you've never lied to him

That you've never felt yourself desiring me

You're sure you don't miss me

Many nights, when you would rather

That his hands were mine, and his skin my skin

...

[Spanish]

Mírame, así que te hace muy, muy feliz

Y por qué esa agonía ¿o vas a engañarme tú a mí?

Mírame, así que todo marcha muy bien

Y esa sombra de pena que hay en tus ojos, ¿por qué?

Estás segura, de que no me echas de menos

Muchas noches, en que tú preferirías

Que sus manos fueran mías, y su piel mi piel

Estás segura

De que nunca le has llamado por mi nombre

De que nunca le has mentido

De que nunca te has sentido deseándome

Mírame, así que no te puede ir mejor

Y qué fue de tu pelo, de tu precioso pelo, amor

Mírame, así que te hace muy, muy feliz

Y esa lágrima fría es algo normal, no es así

Estás segura, de que no me echas de menos

Muchas noches, en que tú preferirías

Que sus manos fueran mías, y su piel, mi piel

Estás segura

De que nunca le has llamado por mi nombre

De que nunca le has mentido

De que nunca te has sentido, deseándome

Estás segura, de que no me echas de menos

Muchas noches, en que tú preferirías

Que sus manos fueran mías, y su piel, mi piel

Estás segura

De que nunca le has llamado por mi nombre

De que nunca le has mentido

De que nunca te has sentido deseándome

Estás segura, de que no me echas de menos

Muchas noches, en que tú preferirías

Que sus manos fueran mías, y su piel mi piel
