Lyrics & Translation

[English]

[Music] [Applause] [Music] How exhausting it is to try to be again

the ones we used to be. We went from lovers to enemies, regretting having met. I wish to erase

the tattoo on my body left by your kisses – to go back to that day when I could touch you and not have done it

From this love, no one leaves as they arrived. I gave you my best version and you didn’t give me yours. You leave smiling

seemingly whole, and I go crazy because I still love you. From this love, no one leaves as they arrived

The fairest thing is to divide our pain equally, without lingering years, because this claw

the truth is that it’s not worth it. Everything in life has a solution, but you and I are the exception [Music]

[Applause] [Music] From this love, no one leaves as they arrived

I gave you my best version and you didn’t give me yours. You leave smiling, apparently whole, and I stay

crazy because I still love you. From this love, no one leaves as they arrived. The fairest thing is to split

the pain into equal parts, without lingering years – because this claw, the truth, it’s not worth it, everything

in life has a solution, but you and I are the exception [Music] [Applause] [Music]

[Spanish]

[Música] [Aplausos] [Música] Qué  desgastante intentar volver a ser  

los de antes Pasamos de amantes a ser enemigos  arrepentidos de habernos conocido Quisiera borrar  

de mi cuerpo el tatuaje que hicieron tus besos  Volver ese día que pude tocarte y no haberlo  

hecho De este amor nadie se va como llegó Te di  mi mejor versión y tú a mí no Tú te vas sonriendo  

aparentemente entero Y yo me quedo loca porque  aún te quiero De este amor nadie se va como llegó  

Lo más justo es repartirnos el dolor en partes  iguales sin años colaterales Porque esta garra  

la verdad que no lo vale Todo en la vida tiene  solución Pero tú y yo somos la excepción [Música]

[Aplausos] [Música] De este  amor nadie se va como llegó  

Te di mi mejor versión y tú a mí no Tú te vas  sonriendo aparentemente entero Y yo me quedo  

loca porque aún te quiero De este amor nadie  se va como llegó Lo más justo es repartirnos  

el dolor en partes iguales sin años colaterales  Porque esta garra la verdad que no lo vale Todo  

en la vida tiene solución Pero tú y yo somos  la excepción [Música] [Aplausos] [Música]
