[English]

If I keep going like this, it'll finish me. I feel like

I'm talking to a wall. I'm swimming with

the weed, trying to forget you, baby.

Even though I don't cry, I think I miss you.

I still feel everything. I don't know how

I'll forget you.

Before you forget me, I will remember you.

You were the best thing, but baby, until

I arrived. And before you forget it,

baby, forgive me

for always knowing that you weren't

for me.

I don't know what to say to you or what excuses

to make.

Your actions don't work for me. I'm going to

this dance alone, I don't want to be sad anymore.

I'm tired of the rejection, I'm going alone in

the 15 with Pokémon flowers. I was able to understand that

you weren't for me, just by your flaws.

Wherever you go, I will remember you.

I am not what you are saying, I am what

you keep silent about. Tell me who you're fooling. Nothing

is enough anymore.

Before you forget me, I will remember you.

You were the best there ever was, but baby

until I arrived. And before you

forget it,

baby, forgive me

for always knowing that you weren't

for me. And I saw that what I was expecting

was everything. Now it's known that giving more than

what one receives ends up hurting whatever it is.

I work more while you stroll. I don't know if

I believe in love, it's not just that you don't care,

you're the one steering the ship. So it

became an error for you, even if you don't see it.

Your perfume still lingers, your memory still lingers,

this is hard for me.

How am I ever going to fall in love again?

You had it with me, you had the valuable thing,

it's not always seen in love.

I hope

that you don't fall from the heaven

that you're in.

Voi Ha.

[Spanish]

Si sigo con esto me acabará. Me siento

hablando con la pared. Estoy nadando con

la María, tratando de olvidarte cabaré.

Aunque no lloro, creo que te añoro

aún siento de todo. No sé cómo te

olvidaré.

Antes que me olvides, yo te recordaré.

Fuiste lo mejor que Pero baby, hasta que

llegué. Y antes que lo olvides,

baby, perdóname

por siempre haber sabido que no eras

para

Diga usted que decirle o qué excusas

sacarles.

Tus obras no me sirven. Me voy solo a

este baile, ya no quiero estar triste.

Me cansé del desaire, me voy solo en la

15 con flores Pokémon. Pude entender que

no eras para mí, solo por tus fallas.

Vayas donde vayas, te recordaré.

Yo no soy lo que estás diciendo, soy lo

que callas. Dime a quién engañas. Ya

nada basta.

Antes que me olvides, yo te recordaré.

Fuiste lo mejor que ha habido, pero baby

hasta que llegué. Y antes que lo

olvides,

Bi, perdóname

por siempre haber sabido que no eras

para mí. Y vi que lo que era esperaba

full. Ahora se dile más que dar más de

lo que uno recibe en sí daña lo que sea.

Yo trabajo más tú pasea. No sé si el

amor yo les crea no solo yes tú no queas

tú la vaina la pilotea. Entonces se

volvió una tu erróne aunque no lo veas

gey le todavía tu perfume tu le todavía

como yo no vuelvo a enamorarme

conmigo lo tenías tú lo valioso no

siempre se vi de amor

se muere.

Espero

que no te caigas del cielo en el que

está.

Voi Ha.
