[English]

I don't want to see you tonight anymore

I can't find any reason to stay with you

Now I'm leaving, I hope you forgive me

It's your mistakes

That make me cry

I give you the sky

And you turn your back on me

You say I'm bad

You have nothing to do with love

I give you the sky

And you turn your back on me

You say I'm bad

You have nothing to do with love

And now you don't call me

But you always say you love me

And you don't know anything about love

I don't trust your look anymore

And love's just a fairy tale story

And what we feel stays in nothingness

We promised so much, but we still lacked

But we still lacked

I give you the sky

And you turn your back on me

You say I'm bad

You have nothing to do with love

I give you the sky

And you turn your back on me

You say I'm bad

You have nothing to do with love

And if you kissed me, I would leave you

But you say I'm bad and cold

You always say it was my fault

And it wasn't mine

But he didn't know

I don't want to see you tonight anymore

I can't find any reason to stay with you

Now I'm leaving, hope you forgive me

It's your mistakes

That make me cry

I give you the sky

And you turn your back on me

You say I'm bad

You have nothing to do with love

I give you the sky

And you turn your back on me

You say I'm bad

You have nothing to do with love

[Spanish]

Ya no quiero verte esta noche

Pa' seguir contigo ya no encuentro razones

Ahora yo me voy espero que me perdones

Son tus errores

Que hacen que llore

Yo te regalo el cielo

Y tu me das la espalda

Me dices que soy mala

De amor no tienes nada

Yo te regalo el cielo

Y tu me das la espalda

Me dices que soy mala

De amor no tienes nada

Y ahora no me llamas

Pero siempre dices que me amas

Y que de amor tu no sabes nada

Ya no confío en tu mirada

Y el amor es puro cuento de hadas

Y lo que sentimos se queda en la nada

Mucho prometimos pero aún faltaba

Pero aún faltaba

Yo te regalo el cielo

Y tu me das la espalda

Me dices que soy mala

De amor no tienes nada

Yo te regalo el cielo

Y tu me das la espalda

Me dices que soy mala

De amor no tienes nada

Y si tu me besaras yo te dejaría

Pero dice que soy mala y que soy fría

Siempre dice no que la culpa fue mía

Y no fue mía

Pero el no sabia

Ya no quiero verte esta noche

Pa' seguir contigo ya no encuentro razones

Ahora yo me voy espero que me perdones

Son tus errores

Que hacen que llore

Yo te regalo el cielo

Y tu me das la espalda

Me dices que soy mala

De amor no tienes nada

Yo te regalo el cielo

Y tu me das la espalda

Me dices que soy mala

De amor no tienes nada
