[English]

In your arms

You took me to your world

You pulled me from my fear

And traded it for your voice

I’m no longer who I used to be

You filled me with your style

...

You turned me

Into a hostage of your desires

Into a word of your belief

Into the essence of your being

Then you leave me behind

Like a prisoner with no salvation

...

Where will you hide your love?

Come back and set me free

...

I’m already your possession

...

Either take me with you or let me go

...

Then you leave me behind

...

Like a prisoner with no salvation

Where will you hide your love?

Come back and set me free

...

I’m already your possession

Either take me with you or let me go

Where are you going without me?

Take me with you or set me free

I can’t stay like this

I beg you, set me free

[Spanish]

Entre tus brazos

Me llevaste a tus terrenos

Me alejaste de mi miedo

Lo cambiaste por tu voz

Yo ya no soy quien antes fui

Me llenaste de tu estilo

Me convertiste

En rehén de tus deseos

En palabra de tu credo

En sustancia de tu ser

Después te vas dejándome

Como preso sin salvación

Dónde vas a ocultar tu amor

Vuelve atrás y libérame

Yo ya soy tu propiedad

O me llevas o suéltame

Después te vas dejándome

Como preso sin salvación

Dónde vas a ocultar tu amor

Vuelve atrás y libérame

Yo ya soy tu propiedad

O me llevas o suéltame

Dónde vas que te vas sin mí

Llévame o libérame

No podré quedar así

Te suplico, libérame
