[English]

I'm not going to stop

I have no doubts

I'm not going down

Let it rise

That's why I don't want to stop

I no longer have doubts

I'm not going down

Let it rise

To enjoy

It's so similar to love

To enjoy

It's so different from pain

...

I changed direction, another chance

It's worth a decision (uh, uh-uh-uh, uh, uh)

(Enough!)

...

I'm not going to stop

I have no doubts

I'm not going down

Let it rise

To enjoy

It's so similar to love

To enjoy

It's so different from killing

When I think of the end, when I think of everything I've given

When I dream of the finish, when I dream that it’s all going to end

To enjoy

It's so necessary, my love

To enjoy

It's so different from pain

...

[Spanish]

No voy a parar

Yo no tengo dudas

No voy a bajar

Déjalo que suba

Por eso, no quiero parar

Ya no tengo dudas

No voy a bajar

Déjalo que suba

Gozar

Es tan parecido al amor

Gozar

Es tan diferente al dolor

Cambié de dirección, otra oportunidad

Merece alguna decisión (uh, uh-uh-uh, uh, uh)

(¡Basta!)

No voy a parar

Yo no tengo dudas

No voy a bajar

Déjalo que suba

Gozar

Es tan parecido al amor

Gozar

Es tan diferente a matar

Cuando pienso en el fin, cuando pienso en todo lo que di

Cuando sueño el final, cuando sueño que todo va a acabar

Gozar

Es tan necesario, mi amor

Gozar

Es tan diferente al dolor
