[English]

Without mercy, you leave behind a retinue of vain idolization

You're so spectacular that you can't just be mine

(You have to be for everyone)

The skin, the lips where the touch grazes

Will be my meadow, my garden

I already know

That the path to fame

Means nothing

If there's no mission

What is it?

To make you very naughty

To taste your cookie

With all devotion

I already know

I already know

What it is

I already know

You give off that impression of being the action that embodies tenderness

Around you, there's no humility, Venus is a caricature

(You have to be for everyone)

The skin, the lips where the touch grazes

Will be my meadow, my garden

I already know

That the path to fame

Means nothing

If there's no mission

What is it?

To make you very naughty

To taste your cookie

With all devotion

I already know

I already know

What it is

I already know

...

I already know

I already know

What it is

I already know

I already know

I already know

What it is

...

[Spanish]

Sin piedad, dejás atrás un séquito de vana idolatría

Sos tan espectacular que no podés ser mía nada más

(Tenés que ser de todos)

La piel, los labios donde roza la bambula

Serán mi prado, mi vergel

Ya sé

Que el camino a la fama

No significa nada

Si no hay una misión

¿Cuál es?

Hacerte muy putita

Probar tu galletita

Con toda devoción

Ya sé

Ya sé

Cuál es

Ya sé

Derramás esa impresión de ser la acción que encarna la ternura

A tu alrededor no hay humildad, la Venus es caricatura

(Tenés que ser de todos)

La piel, los labios donde roza la bambula

Serán mi prado, mi vergel

Ya sé

Que el camino a la fama

No significa nada

Si no hay una misión

¿Cuál es?

Hacerte muy putita

Probar tu galletita

Con toda devoción

Ya sé

Ya sé

Cuál es

Ya sé

Ya sé

Ya sé

Cuál es

Ya sé

Ya sé

Ya sé

Cuál es
