[English]

Don't think that just because I'm sitting like this

I won't be able to run toward you, no, no

Don't think that just because I'm tied up like this

I won't be able to hug you

Till death

Till death

Till death

Till death

Don't think that just because I'm locked up here

I'm not thinking about going after you

And take you far, far away

Until no one remembers you

Ah, ah, uoh-oh

Don't think that just because I'm naked like this

I won't be strolling on tiptoes through your garden

Don't think this knife is for me

I brought it to scratch you, ah

Till death

Till death

Till death

Till death, so what now?

Till death

Till death

Till death

Till death

Till death

Till death

Till death

[Spanish]

No creas que por estar sentado así

No voy a poder correr hacia ti, no, no

No creas que por estar amarrado así

No voy a poder abrazarte a ti

Hasta morir

Hasta morir

Hasta morir

Hasta morir

No creas que por estar encerrado aquí

No estoy pensando en ir por ti

Y llevarte lejos muy lejos

Hasta que nadie se acuerde de ti

Ah, ah, uoh-oh

No creas que por estar desnudo así

No voy a pasearme de puntitas en tu jardín

No creas que esta navaja es para mí

La traje para rascarte a ti, ah

Hasta morir

Hasta morir

Hasta morir

Hasta morir, ¿pues ahora qué?

Hasta morir

Hasta morir

Hasta morir

Hasta morir

Hasta morir

Hasta morir

Hasta morir
