[English]

No, it wasn't love, oh no

There was never love

Between us two

No

No

It wasn't love, oh no

There was never love

Between us two

Your black eyes

Seemed so calm

But behind closed doors

They look at me harshly

When I kiss you

I dream, I dream of desire

Waiting for the fire

I sleep with one eye open

No

It wasn't love, oh no

There was never love

Between us two, no

No

It wasn't love, oh no

There was never love

Between us two

...

...

Ice doesn't melt with you

Because it's not fire

It's the cold that lives with you

So much makeup will only hurt your mind

F*ck mascara, be free

Don’t love me but just tell me

If living in darkness works for you

I don't want fire to burn you

And leave me alone, girl

How hard it is to light up your darkness, no, no

No

It wasn't love, oh no

There was never love

Between us two, no

No

It wasn't love, oh no

There was never love

Between us two

...

[Spanish]

No, no fue amor, oh no

Nunca hubo amor

Entre nosotros dos

No

No

No fue amor, oh no

Nunca hubo amor

Entre nosotros dos

Eran tus ojos negros

Parecían serenos

Pero puertas adentro

Me miran ásperos

Cuando te beso

Sueño, sueño con el deseo

A la espera del fuego

Duermo con un ojo abierto

No

No fue amor, oh no

Nunca hubo amor

Entre nosotros dos, no

No

No fue amor, oh no

Nunca hubo amor

Entre nosotros dos

El hielo con vos no se derrite

Porque no es la llama

Es el frío que con vos vive

Tanto maquillaje va a hacer que la mente se lastime

F*ck rimmel, sé libre

No me ames pero dime

Si vivir a oscuras, a vos te sirve

No quiero que el fuego te queme

Y quedarme en soledad, nena

Como cuesta alumbrar tu oscuridad, no, no

No

No fue amor, oh no

Nunca hubo amor

Entre nosotros dos, no

No

No fue amor, oh no

Nunca hubo amor

Entre nosotros dos
