[English]

Don't ask me what it's called

Or how it came into my life

I have nothing to explain, better forget

What we once were, what we lived we have already lost

Don't ask me why, there's no point in talking about what you gave

I don't love you anymore, but when I did love you

Where you were, I couldn't see you, it wasn't possible

I already have someone who doesn't leave when I want to give a kiss

Makes love divine, it's good for that

Has details that make me fall in love, that confirm

That I have someone, I'm not alone, I already have company

Waking up in their arms every day

It's the best thing that happened to me, how good that they fell in love with me too

As I did

But what a feeling, Paola Jara!

I already have someone

Who doesn't leave when I want to give a kiss

Makes love divine, it's good HAHA for that

Has details that make me fall in love

That confirm

That I have someone

I'm not alone, I already have company

Waking up in their arms every day

It's the best thing that happened to me, how good that they fell in love with me too

As I did

Of them, of their honey kisses

Of the taste of their skin

...

[Spanish]

No me preguntes como se llama

Ni como llego a mi vida

No tengo nada que explicar, mejor olvida

Lo que un día fuimos, lo que vivimos ya lo perdimos

No me preguntes porque no tiene caso hablar de lo que dabas

Ya no te amo, pero que cuando te amaba

En donde estabas no te veía no se podía

Ya tengo alguien que no se quita cuando quiero darle un beso

Hace el amor divino es bueno para eso

Tiene detalles que me enamoran que corroboran

Que tengo alguien que no estoy sola que ya tengo compañía

Amanecer entre sus brazos cada día

Es lo mejor que me paso, que bueno que se enamoro de mi igual

Que yo

¡Pero que sentimiento, Paola Jara!

Ya tengo alguien

Que no se quita cuando quiero darle un beso

Hace el amor divino es bueno JAJA para eso

Tiene detalles que me enamoran

Que corroboran

Que tengo alguien

Que no estoy sola que ya tengo compañía

Amanecer entre sus brazos cada día

Es lo mejor que me paso, que bueno que se enamoro de mi igual

Que yo

De el, de sus besos de miel

Del sabor de su piel
