[English]

For you, yes, for you, yes, for you

I would be capable of dying

If you give me sincere love-o-o-o-o

Look into my eyes if you want to kill me

Nananai, I'm not going to leave you!

Look into my eyes if you want to kill me

Nananai, I'm not going to leave you!

Look into my eyes if you want to kill me

Nananai, I'm not going to leave you!

Look into my eyes if you want to kill me

Nananai, I'm not going to leave you!

Don't pay for sins that don't exist

They've offered you an elixir

A supposed better life that you'll end up paying for here

In the rose-colored world with the smell of disgusting things

And that's how it grew and became strong

A mentality with fear rooted in people

With enough complexes to stop a train

To stop a plane and everything that stands in the way of mental development

Unconscious, doesn't know what it's missing, what they could find

If they opened their hearts

If they stopped thinking about the bad things that are going to happen

By the way, you make a great couple

You hit her and she lets it happen

Look into my eyes if you want to kill me

Nananai, I'm not going to leave you!

Look into my eyes if you want to kill me

Nananai, I'm not going to leave you!

Look into my eyes if you want to kill me

Nananai, I'm not going to leave you!

Look into my eyes if you want to kill me

Nananai, I'm not going to leave you!

Don't leave the poor kid on the bench

Leave him alone so he can learn the course

To take hits, to return what he deserves

That's how crazy life is, I shoot because there's no other way

Little to say if they're going to break your mouth

Oh Lord, teach me to walk!

I still have a lot to think about

If no one understands me, I feel alone

When are you going to learn to do laundry?

I'm going to start thinking about changing the station

Stop complaining so much, it's about time

The kilos I lost, someone must have found them

What am I going to do if they dare to come to my house and disrespect?

Nananai, I'm not going to let them!

I'm going to kill them!

Look into my eyes if you want to kill me

Nananai, I'm not going to leave you!

Look into my eyes if you want to kill me

Nananai, I'm not going to leave you!

Look into my eyes if you want to kill me

Nananai, I'm not going to leave you!

Look into my eyes if you want to kill me

Nananai, I'm not going to leave you!

Look into my eyes if you want to kill me

Nananai, I'm not going to leave you!

Look into my eyes if you want to kill me

Nananai, I'm not going to leave you!

Look into my eyes if you want to kill me

Nananai, I'm not going to leave you!

Look into my eyes if you want to kill me

Nananai, I'm not going to leave you!

[Spanish]

Por ti, si, por ti, si, por ti

Yo sería capaz de morir

Si tú me das amor sincero-o-o-o-o

Mírame a los ojos sí me quieres matar

Nananai, yo no te voy a dejar!

Mírame a los ojos sí me quieres matar

Nananai, yo no te voy a dejar!

Mírame a los ojos sí me quieres matar

Nananai, yo no te voy a dejar!

Mírame a los ojos sí me quieres matar

Nananai, yo no te voy a dejar!

No pagues por pecados que no existen

Te han ofrecido un elixir

Una supuesta vida mejor que acabarás pagando aquí

En el mundo color de rosa con olor a cosas asquerosas

Y así creció y se hizo fuerte

Una mentalidad con el miedo arraigao en la gente

Con complejos suficientes pa' para' un tren

Pa' para' un avión y to' lo que haga frente al desarrollo de la mente

Inconsciente, no sabe lo que se pierde, lo que podrían encontrar

Sí abrieran sus corazones

Sí dejaran de pensar en lo malo que le va a pasar

Por cierto, haceis muy buena pareja

Tú le pegas y ella se deja

Mírame a los ojos sí me quieres matar

Nananai, yo no te voy a dejar!

Mírame a los ojos sí me quieres matar

Nananai, yo no te voy a dejar!

Mírame a los ojos sí me quieres matar

Nananai, yo no te voy a dejar!

Mírame a los ojos sí me quieres matar

Nananai, yo no te voy a dejar!

No dejen al pobre chiquillo en el banquillo

Déjenlo tranquilo que aprenda el cursillo

A llevarse golpes, a devolver lo que le toca

Así es la vida loca, tiro porque no hay otra

Poco que decir sí te van a partir la boca

Ay señor, enséñame a caminar!

Aún me queda mucho todavía en que pensar

Sí a mi no me comprende nadie, yo me siento sola

Cuando vas a aprender tú a poner una lavadora?

Voy a empezar a pensar en cambiar de emisora

No te quejes tanto ya va siendo hora

Los kilos que perdí alguien se los tuvo que encontrar

Qué voy a hacer sí se atreven a venir a mi casa a faltar?

Nanai, yo no les voy a dejar!

Yo los voy a matar!

Mírame a los ojos sí me quieres matar

Nananai, yo no te voy a dejar!

Mírame a los ojos sí me quieres matar

Nananai, yo no te voy a dejar!

Mírame a los ojos sí me quieres matar

Nananai, yo no te voy a dejar!

Mírame a los ojos sí me quieres matar

Nananai, yo no te voy a dejar!

Mírame a los ojos sí me quieres matar

Nananai, yo no te voy a dejar!

Mírame a los ojos sí me quieres matar

Nananai, yo no te voy a dejar!

Mírame a los ojos sí me quieres matar

Nananai, yo no te voy a dejar!

Mírame a los ojos sí me quieres matar

Nananai, yo no te voy a dejar!
