[English]

Hey,

who are you?

My memory has kept what the wind

has carried away, and I am stuck

in those times when you loved me and

I felt your kisses with such brilliance. Tell me,

clear this doubt for me. Who is this

stranger who has taken over your being?

Where is the crazy lover who used to caress

my skin? Because you don't touch me like

that woman does anymore. Something isn't right.

Listen to my words.

Tonight, I'm going to ask the questions and

put an end to this impostor,

this usurper.

I demand an interview with you. I suspect

plagiarism from my lady, this bad imitator.

Tell me, I have some questions. Where was it,

under the rain, that I gave you that first

kiss?

Tell me too, recount that moment,

the room number where I first made you

a woman.

Confirm to me what turns me on during sex,

what I love about your body. Our

first adventure.

I want details, like on your neck or

your belly button, your favorite spot, because I

definitely know which one it is.

If you truly are the original,

prove it to me now.

Tonight, I'm going to ask the questions and

put an end to this impostor,

this usurper.

I demand an interview with you. I suspect

plagiarism from my lady, this bad imitator.

Tell me, I have some questions. Where was it,

under the rain, that I gave you that first

kiss? Tell me too, recount that moment,

the room number where I first made you

a woman. Confirm to me what turns me on,

the sex, and what I love about your body.

Our first adventure.

I want details. Is it your neck or your

shoulder, your favorite spot? Because I definitely

know which one it is.

If you truly are the original,

prove it to me now.

You weren't like this when I met you.

Who

is this imitator in her place today?

I miss her, I don't know where she went.

Let my beloved return, because you aren't

you.

Ah.

Hey,

who are you?

Mi memoria ha conservado lo que se ha

llevado el viento y yo estoy estancado

en esos tiempos cuando tú me amabas y

con gran fulgor sentía tus besos. Dime,

quítame esta duda. ¿Quién es esta

extraña que se ha apoderado de tu ser?

¿Dónde está la amante loca que merizaba

la piel? Porque ya tú no me tocas como

lo hace esa mujer. Algo no anda bien.

Escucha las palabras.

Esta noche me hago el interrogante y le

pongo fin a la impostora

usurpadora.

Exijo contigo una entrevista. Sospecho

plagio a mi señora malimitadora.

Dime, tengo unas preguntas. ¿Dónde fue

bajo la lluvia que te di ese primer

beso?

Dime también, relátame el momento,

número de alojamiento donde yo te sé

mujer.

Confírmame que me enciende en el sexo,

que me encanta de tu cuerpo. Nuestra

primera aventura.

Quiero detalles en el cuello o el

ombliguito, tu punto favorito, porque yo

sí sé cuál es.

Si en verdad eres la original,

demuéstramelo ahora.

pongo fin a la impostora

Quiero detalles. ¿Será tu cuello o el

ombrito, tu punto favorito, porque yo sí

sé cuál es.

Si en verdad eres la orinal,

demuéstramelo ahora.

Tú no eras así cuando yo te conocí.

¿Quién

es esta imitadora hoy en su lugar?

Yo le extraño a dónde se me perdió.

que regrese mi amada porque tú no eres

tú.

Ah.
