[English]

If someone were watching, they'd see we can't leave

That even though everyone tells me to go, I don't want to leave

That despite everything we've been through, babe, I'd still choose you

And if I weren't by your side, I'd hold you in my imagination

Our radical ideas

Passionate fights

I know I shouldn't be with you

But I can't forget

Our radical ideas

Passionate fights

I have a problem

And the problem is you

When you show up, my mind gets hooked

You always leave me broken and disoriented

Because what you give me, you take away later

They told me this isn't love (it's not like this)

And why do you leave? If you never forget me

You'll stay obsessed with

Our radical ideas

Passionate fights

I know I shouldn't be with you

But I can't forget

Our radical ideas

Passionate fights

I have a problem

And the problem is you

You're my pain, you're my treasure

Not having you hurts me

It aches, but it gives me pleasure

This is radical love

You're my pain, you're my treasure

Not having you hurts me

It aches, but it gives me pleasure

It aches, but...

Our radical ideas

Passionate fights

I know I shouldn't be with you

But I can't forget

Our radical ideas

Passionate fights

I have a problem

And the problem is...

...

[Spanish]

Si alguien estuviera viendo, notaría que no podemos salir

Que, aunque todos me digan que me vaya, yo no me quiero ir

Que a pesar de todo lo que hemos pasado, nene, yo te elegiría

Y si no estuviera a tu lado, te tendría en mi imaginación

Peleas pasionales

Sé que no debo estar contigo

Pero no logro olvidar

Tengo un problema

Y el problema eres tú

Cuando aparecés, me queda la mente hookeada

Siempre me dejás rota y desubicada

Porque lo que me das después me lo quitás

Me dijeron que así no es el amor (no es así)

¿Y por qué te vas?, si nunca me olvidás

Seguirás obsesionado con

Nuestras ideas radicales
