[English]

I swear I didn't mean to do it

Time flew by and I couldn't stop it

I count the days until we see each other again

...

Even though right now, everything is better from afar

Days went by and I realized more and more

We didn't know how to take care of what had no answers

...

Now that Honey, you're not here

Now that Honey, you're not here

There's no longer a place for the two of us

And you have to admit that I tried my best

I've seen the photos that now you're with someone else

I truly hope things don't go wrong for you two

But I can't be who you always want to see

If to be with you I have to leave myself behind too

Now that Honey, you're not here

Now that Honey, you're not here

Now that Honey

...

You're not here, ahh ah ah

...

I think it no longer matters if you're not coming back

...

From Paseo del Ángel, I'll always remember you

...

[Spanish]

Te juro que yo no quise hacerlo

El tiempo se fué y no pude detenerlo

Cuento los días para volver a vernos

Aunque en este momento, todo es mejor de lejos

Pasaban los días y más me daba cuenta

No supimos cuidar lo que no tenía respuesta

Ahora que Honey, no estás

Ahora que Honey, no estás

Aquí ya no hay un lugar para los dos

Y tienes que admitir que yo intenté de mí todo

He visto las fotos que ahora estás con alguien más

De verdad espero que a ustedes no les vaya mal

Pero no puedo ser quien tú siempre quieres ver

Si para estar contigo debo dejarme a mi también

Ahora que Honey, no estás

Ahora que Honey, no estás

Ahora que Honey

No estás, ahh ah ah

Creo que ya no importa si no vas a volver

Desde el Paseo del Ángel, siempre te recordaré
