[English]

The first one is never forgotten

Baby, I give you my life

Girl, I saw hell while I was alive

I don’t need your welcome

I don’t want to grow up, I can’t lose

I also can’t remember what I did yesterday

The first one is never forgotten

Baby, I give you my life

I don’t want to see you, I don’t want to come back

Your face makes me lose my appetite

Girl, I saw hell while I was alive

I don’t need your welcome

It feels expensive to be locked up

Between what I want and what I do

The first one is never forgotten, it’s forever

I need to go far away and not think about us

I never could understand if you said it seriously

I’m sorry, oh

I don’t understand, oh

Even though in my mind I have to pay the price

I take the secrets and the jewels to the cemetery

I’m sorry, oh

I don’t understand, oh

Oh

I spend the night in hotels, wearing XL clothes

I only become friends with those who suit me

We’re dining in expensive places

And everyone is looking at us badly

I only think about all the good times

the times we spent, and that

It doesn’t make me happy, it makes me feel bad

The first one is never forgotten

Baby, I give you my life

Girl, I saw hell while I was alive

I don’t need your welcome

I don’t want to grow up, I can’t lose

I also can’t remember what I did yesterday

The first one is never forgotten

Baby, I give you my life

I don’t want to see you, I don’t want to come back

Your face makes me lose my appetite

Girl, I saw hell while I was alive

I don’t need your welcome

It seems expensive to be locked up

Between what I want and what I do

The first one is never forgotten, it’s forever

[Spanish]

LA PRIMERA NUNCA SE OLVIDA

BABY YO TE REGALO MI VIDA

NENA EL INFIERNO YO LO VI EN VIDA

NO NECESITO TU BIENVENIDA

NO QUIERO CRECER, NO PUEDO PERDER

TAMPOCO ME ACUERDO LO QUE HICE AYER

LA PRIMERA NUNCA SE OLVIDA

BABY YO TE REGALO MI VIDA

NO TE QUIERO VER, NO QUIERO VOLVER

TU CARA ME SACA LAS GANAS DE COMER

NENA EL INFIERNO YO LO VI EN VIDA

NO NECESITO TU BIENVENIDA

ME PARECE CARO, ESTAR ENCERRADO

ENTRE LO QUE QUIERO Y LO QUE HAGO

LA PRIMERA NUNCA SE OLVIDA ES PARA SIEMPRE

NECESITO IRME LEJOS Y NO PENSAR EN LO NUESTRO

NUNCA PUDE ENTENDER SI LO DIJISTE ENSERIO

LO SIENTO, OH

NO ENTIENDO, OH

AUNQUE EN MI CABEZA TENGA QUE PAGA' EL PRECIO

LOS SECRETOS Y LAS JOYAS ME LAS LLEVO AL CEMENTERIO

LO SIENTO, OH

NO ENTIENDO, OH

OH

PASO LA NOCHE EN HOTELES, PRENDAS XL

SOLO ME HAGO AMIGO DE LOS QUE ME CONVIENE

ESTAMOS CENANDO EN LUGARES CAROS

Y TODOS ESTAN MIRANDONOS MAL

YO SOLO PIENSO EN TO' LOS BUENOS TIEMPOS

QUE PASAMOS Y ESO

NO ME PONE CONTENTO, ME PONE MAL

LA PRIMERA NUNCA SE OLVIDA

BABY YO TE REGALO MI VIDA

NENA EL INFIERNO YO LO VI EN VIDA

NO NECESITO TU BIENVENIDA

NO QUIERO CRECER, NO PUEDO PERDER

TAMPOCO ME ACUERDO LO QUE HICE AYER

LA PRIMERA NUNCA SE OLVIDA

BABY YO TE REGALO MI VIDA

NO TE QUIERO VER, NO QUIERO VOLVER

TU CARA ME SACA LAS GANAS DE COMER

NENA EL INFIERNO YO LO VI EN VIDA

NO NECESITO TU BIENVENIDA

PARECE CARO ESTAR ENCERRADO

ENTRE LO QUE QUIERO Y LO QUE HAGO

LA PRIMERA NUNCA SE OLVIDA ES PARA SIEMPRE
