[English]

Don't punish this poor heart

Even though I know I deserve the worst

You know I'm speaking to you with complete honesty

You don't recall the moments of passion

Living for just one reason

In the past everything was happiness

If I never see you again

I don't know what I'll do

I'll be drowned in a sea of tears

If I never see you again

I'll go crazy

It's automatic madness for me

Today I remember the day I met you

You became the light of my life

And I swear that will never change

If you came back despite what happened

If you gave our love another chance

I would give you my whole heart now

If I never see you again

I don't know what I'll do

I'll be drowned in a sea of tears

If I never see you again

I'll go crazy

It's automatic madness for me

...

If I never see you again

I don't know what I'll do

I'll be drowned in a sea of tears

If I never see you again

I'll go crazy

It's automatic madness for me

It's automatic madness for me

It's automatic madness for me

...

[Spanish]

No castigues a este pobre corazón

Aunque sé que me merezco lo peor

Sabes que te hablo con toda sinceridad

No recuerdas los momentos de pasión

El vivir por una sola razón

En el pasado todo fue felicidad

Si yo no te vuelvo a ver

No sé lo que voy hacer

Estaré hundido en un mar de lágrimas

Si yo no te vuelvo a ver

Yo me voy a enloquecer

Es para mí la locura automática

Hoy recuerdo el día en que te conocí

Te convertiste en la luz de mi vivir

Y te lo juro eso nunca cambiara

Si volvieras a pesar lo que pasó

Si le dieras otro chance a nuestro amor

Yo te daría ahora todo mi corazón

Si yo no te vuelvo a ver

No sé lo que voy hacer

Estaré hundido en un mar de lágrimas

Si yo no te vuelvo a ver

Yo me voy a enloquecer

Es para mí la locura automática

Si yo no te vuelvo a ver

No sé lo que voy hacer

Estaré hundido en un mar de lágrimas

Si yo no te vuelvo a ver

Yo me voy a enloquecer

Es para mí la locura automática

Es para mí la locura automática

Es para mí la locura automática
