[English]

You keep stalking

Your aura stays close to me

I've tried to hide

But you find my root.

Every step I take

the place where I am

there are memories to live.

because of you.

The reason for my anxiety

the one that never knew how to love me

I gave up its elixir.

Condemnation, endless suffocation

dying to escape

I still haven't healed the scar

that you cause me, like a worm

and you are rotting my insides.

How to extinguish the feeling

that melts my heart

the damage inside me is huge...

Condemnation, endless suffocation

dying to escape

aftereffects, miserable turmoil

I live running from you.

I still haven't healed the scar

that you cause me, like a worm

and you are rotting my insides.

How to extinguish the feeling

that melts my heart

the damage inside me is huge...

The scar hasn't died yet

that you cause me, like a worm

and you are rotting my insides.

How to ease the unease

malnourished heart

if I see your face right in front of me.

ohhhh

...

[Spanish]

Sigues acechando

tu aura sigue junto a mi

me he tratado de esconder

pero encuentras mi raiz.

Cada paso que yo doy

el lugar a donde estoy

hay recuerdos que vivir.

por ti.

La razon de mi ansiedad

la que no me supo amar

me desasí de su elixir.

Condena, agobio sin fin

muriendo por huir

aun no curo la cicatriz

que me produces, cual lombriz

y vas pudriendo mi interior.

Como apagar la sensacion

que me derrite el corazon

es mucho el daño que hay en mi...

Condena, agobio sin fin

muriendo por huir

secuelas, trastorno infeliz

vivo huyendo de ti.

Aun no curo la cicatriz

que me produces, cual lombriz

y vas pudriendo mi interior.

Como apagar la sensacion

que me derrite el corazon

es mucho el daño que hay en mi...

Aun no murio la cicatriz

que me produces, cual lombriz

y vas pudriendo mi interior.

Como aliviar la desason

desnutrido corazon

si veo tu rostro frente a mi.

ohhhh
