[English]

It’s not a good night for you to leave,

to walk away from me.

It’s not the right moment either,

to let me go just yet.

I’m losing your love,

it’s too much pain to bear.

It wouldn’t hurt just for tonight,

to stay here with me.

Lie to me, say you still love me,

without any blame.

Forget that I’m no good,

just for tonight.

I’m asking just one favor,

a small act of love.

And in your future, may God

reward you for it.

Tomorrow, yes.

You can leave without thinking of me,

to erase me from your life once and for all.

Without a goodbye, without farewell.

Tomorrow, yes.

When I wake up and you’re no longer here,

I’ll know I’ve lost you forever.

But give me this night as a gift.

Lie to me, say you still love me,

without any blame.

Forget that I’m no good,

just for tonight.

I’m asking just one favor,

a small act of love.

And in your future, may God reward you for it.

Tomorrow, yes.

You can leave without thinking of me,

to erase me from your life once and for all.

Without a goodbye, without farewell.

Tomorrow, yes.

When I wake up and you’re no longer here,

I’ll know I’ve lost you forever.

But give me this night as a gift.

[Spanish]

No es una buena noche,

para marcharte.

Tampoco es el momento

para dejarme.

Estoy perdiendo tu amor,

es demasiado dolor.

No cuesta nada por hoy,

quedarte.

Mienteme que aún me quieres

y sin reproches.

Olvida que no sirvo

por ésta noche.

Te pido solo un favor,

una limosna de amor.

Y en tu futuro que Dios

te pague.

Mañana sí.

Puedes marcharte sin pensar en mí,

para borrarme de una vez de tu vida.

Sin un adiós, sin despedida.

Mañana sí.

Cuando despierte y ya no estés aquí,

voy a saber que te perdí para siempre.

Pero regálame esta noche.

Mienteme que aún me quieres

y sin reproches.

Olvida que no sirvo

por ésta noche.

Te pido solo un favor,

una limosna de amor.

Y en tu futuro que Dios te pague.

Mañana sí.

Puedes marcharte sin pensar en mí,

para borrarme de una vez de tu vida.

Sin un adiós, sin despedida.

Mañana sí.

Cuando despierte y ya no estés aquí,

voy a saber que te perdí para siempre.

Pero regálame esta noche.
