[English]

He always picked me up

With his lover's gaze

And he took me to places

That I didn't know

When he picked me up

We talked about life

And his changing plans

We talked about the present

About helping people

About the old days

But I didn't see him ag-

I didn't see him again

Later, I didn't see him ag-

I didn't see him again

If I was telling the truth, then

It would be obvious that he was too

He looked at me with his night eyes

And I believed what he told me

He always picked me up

In his floating carriage

And he showed me the moon

He read my fortune

I felt important

We walked through the night

Looking for a hiding place

To tell each other the things

That only with words

Impossible to say

But I didn't see him ag-

I didn't see him again

Later, I didn't see him ag-

No, I looked for him

If I was telling the truth, then

It would be obvious that he was too

He looked at me with his night eyes

And I believed what he told me

If I was telling the truth, then (Uh-uh, uh-uh-uh)

He looked at me with his night eyes (Eh-eh, eh-eh)

At night

At night

(At night)

Come and show me everything you hide

To heal all our wounds

Come and look at me with your night eyes (Eh-eh, eh-eh)

Come and show me everything you hide

To heal all our wounds

Come and look at me with your night eyes (Ah-ah, ah-ah)

If I was telling the truth, then

It would be obvious that he was too

He looked at me with his night eyes

And I believed what he told me

Ah-uh

(Uh-uh, uh-uh-uh)

[Spanish]

Él siempre me recogía

Con su mirada de amante

Y me llevaba a lugares

Que yo no conocía

Cuando me recogía

Hablábamos de la vida

Y de sus planes cambiantes

Hablábamos del presente

De ayudar a la gente

De los tiempos de antes

Pero no lo vol-

No lo volví a ver

Luego, no lo vol-

No lo volví a ver

Si yo decía la verdad, entonces

Sería obvio que él también lo hacía

Él me miraba con sus ojos noche

Y yo le creía lo que me decía

Él siempre me recogía

En su carroza flotante

Y me mostraba la luna

Me leía mi fortuna

Me sentía importante

Andábamos por la noche

Buscando algún escondite

Para decirnos las cosas

Que solo con palabras

Imposible decirse

Pero no lo vol-

No lo volví a ver

Luego, no lo vol-

No, yo lo busqué

Si yo decía la verdad, entonces

Sería obvio que él también lo hacía

Él me miraba con sus ojos noche

Y yo le creía lo que me decía

Si yo decía la verdad, entonces (Uh-uh, uh-uh-uh)

Él me miraba con sus ojos de noche (Eh-eh, eh-eh)

De noche

De noche

(De noche)

Ven y me muestras todo lo que escondes

Para curarnos todas las heridas

Ven y me miras con tus ojos de noche (Eh-eh, eh-eh)

Ven y me muestras todo lo que escondes

Para curarnos todas las heridas

Ven y me miras con tus ojos de noche (Ah-ah, ah-ah)

Si yo decía la verdad, entonces

Sería obvio que él también lo hacía

Él me miraba con sus ojos noche

Y yo le creía lo que me decía

Ah-uh

(Uh-uh, uh-uh-uh)
