[English]

If you can't speak

Don't you dare come back

If you want to hide

Maybe I could have

The love that doesn't know who and what

It will speak if it's your truth

I will hug you again

Speak if you can

Shout what you feel

Tell me who you love

And makes you happy

If you can't listen

Even if you insist, I'll speak

If you want, look at me

And your eyes will speak, maybe

You will feel, love will go after it

You will speak if it's your truth - I will hug you again

Speak if you can - Shout what you feel

Tell me who you love - And makes you happy

Speak if you can - Shout if you're afraid

Tell me who you love - And makes you happy

Hug me

I want to wake up and understand

Speak if you can

Shout if you're afraid

Tell me who you love

And what are you doing here

Speak if you can - Shout what you feel

Tell me who you love

And makes you happy

And makes you happy

[Spanish]

Si es que no puedes hablar

No te atrevas a volver

Si te quieres ocultar

Tal vez te podría haber

El amor que no sabe a quien y que

Hablará si tu verdad

Te abrazaré otra vez

Habla si puedes

Grita que sientes

Dime a quien quieres

Y te hace feliz

Si no puedes escuchar

Aunque insiste hablaré

Si lo quieres mírame

Y tus ojos hablaré tal vez

Sentiras, el amor iré tras el

Hablaras si tu verdad Te abrazará otra vez

Habla si puedes Grita que sientes

Dime a quien quieres Y te hace feliz

Habla si puedes Grita si temes

Dime a quien quieres Y te hace feliz

Abrázame

Quiero despertarme y entender

Habla si puedes

Grita si temes

Dime a quien quieres

Y que haces aquí

Habla si puedes Grita que sientes

Dime a quien quieres

Y te hace feliz

Y te hace feliz
