[English]

Like a snake

You crawled into my heart, cursed impostor

Naively

I fell into the predator's claws that dazzled me

Oh, I'm up to my neck

In the contract of my life

It had a hidden clause

I won't give you what you ask for anymore

I'll give you what you deserve

I'm leaving without saying goodbye

Swallow all your lies

Find another girl with illusions

I found something better

I'll send you a postcard

That in the end, the light led me to the exit

And I can finally forget you

Vile wolf

You pretended to be defenseless

Who would've thought?

How ironic that the story doesn’t end in your final act

Without you, it will continue

Oh, I’m so fed up with you

Fellings gave me strength

And the wounds have healed

I won't give you what you ask for anymore

I'll give you what you deserve

I'm leaving without saying goodbye

Swallow all your lies

Find another girl with illusions

I found something better

I'll send you a postcard

That in the end, the light led me to the exit

And I can finally forget you

Oh, I’m so fed up with you

Fellings gave me strength

And the wounds have healed

I won't give you what you ask for anymore

I'll give you what you deserve

I'm leaving without saying goodbye

Swallow all your lies

Find another girl with illusions

I found something better

I'll send you a postcard

That in the end, the light led me to the exit

And I can finally forget you

...

[Spanish]

Como serpiente

Te arrastraste hasta mi corazón, maldito impostor

Ingenuamente

Caí en las garras del depredador que me deslumbró

Ay, hasta el cuello estoy

En el contrato de mi vida

Tenía su cláusula escondida

Ya no te daré lo que me pidas

Te daré lo que mereces

Me voy sin decirte adiós

Trágate toditas tus mentiras

Búscate a otra niña con la ilusión

Yo encontré algo mejor

Te mandaré una postal

Que al final la luz me trajo a la salida

Y por fin te puedo olvidar

Malvado lobo

Te disfrazaste de indefenso animal

¿Quién iba a pensar?

Qué ironía que la obra no termina en tu acto final

Sin ti seguirá

Ay, harta de ti ya estoy

Me dieron fuerza las caídas

Y ya sanaron las heridas

Ya no te daré lo que me pidas

Te daré lo que mereces

Me voy sin decirte adiós

Trágate toditas tus mentiras

Búscate a otra niña con la ilusión

Yo encontré algo mejor

Te mandaré una postal

Que al final la luz me trajo a la salida

Por fin te puedo olvidar

Ay, harta de ti ya estoy

Me dieron fuerza las caídas

Y ya sanaron las heridas

Ya no te daré lo que me pidas

Te daré lo que mereces

Me voy sin decirte adiós

Trágate toditas tus mentiras

Búscate a otra niña con la ilusión

Yo encontré algo mejor

Te mandaré una postal

Que al final la luz me trajo a la salida

Y por fin te puedo olvidar
