[English]

Go and see

He’s waiting for you

Go and see

Don’t do it for me

Because after all

We’re just friends

Go and see

I see you’re nervous

Go and see

And feel with him

What you once felt

With me

But I doubt it

With me, you swayed in the air

You flew on a white horse around the world

And those things can’t come back

That’s why I doubt it

Because sometimes you’ve cried with a kiss

Crying with joy, not fear

And I doubt

You’ll feel the same with him

The same with him

Go and see

He’s waiting for you

Go and see

Don’t do it for me

Because after all

We’re just friends

Go and see

I see you’re nervous

Go and see

And feel with him

What you once felt

With me

But I doubt it

With me, you swayed in the air

You flew on a white horse around the world

And those things can’t come back

That’s why I doubt it

Because sometimes you’ve cried with a kiss

Crying with joy, not fear

And I doubt

You’ll feel the same with him

But I doubt it

With me, you swayed in the air

You flew on a white horse around the world

And those things can’t come back

That’s why I doubt it

Because sometimes you’ve cried with a kiss

Crying with joy, not fear

And I doubt

You’ll feel the same with him

[Spanish]

Anda y ve

Te está esperando

Anda y ve

No lo hagas por mí

Que al fin y al cabo

Somos solo amigos

Anda y ve

Te veo nerviosa

Anda y ve

Y que sientas con él

Lo que en su día tú sentías

Conmigo

Pero lo dudo

Conmigo te mecías en el aire

Volabas en caballo blanco el mundo

Y aquellas cosas no podrán volver

Y es que lo dudo

Porque hasta veces me has llorado con un beso

Llorando de alegría y no de miedo

Y dudo

Que te pase igual con él

Igual con él

Anda y ve

Te está esperando

Anda y ve

No lo hagas por mí

Que al fin y al cabo

Somos solo amigos

Anda y ve

Te veo nerviosa

Anda y ve

Y que sientas con él

Lo que en su día tú sentías

Conmigo

Pero lo dudo

Conmigo te mecías en el aire

Volabas en caballo blanco el mundo

Y aquellas cosas no podrán volver

Y es que lo dudo

Porque hasta veces me has llorado con un beso

Llorando de alegría y no de miedo

Y dudo

Que te pase igual con él

Pero lo dudo

Conmigo te mecías en el aire

Volabas en caballo blanco el mundo

Y aquellas cosas no podrán volver

Y es que lo dudo

Porque hasta veces me has llorado con un beso

Llorando de alegría y no de miedo

Y dudo

Que te pase igual con él
