[English]

Surely I will sigh for you

A couple of months, half a year, a year and a half, what does it matter?

Surely they will replace me

A couple of friends, a lover, a playboy or a deity

Let it be

As it has to be

Let it be

I will understand

Let it be

The way you want it to be

Let it be

I have the virtue

To adapt

To whatever comes

And to be satisfied

With what I get for love

This is Calibre 50, tiny one

And Joan Sebastian, the king of the rodeo

Surely, one day you'll cry

When your feverish, crazy lust to sin ends

Surely, you'll compare me

And you'll find it will be too late when you want to come back

Let it be

As it has to be

Let it be

I will understand

Let it be

The way you want it to be

Let it be

I have the virtue

To adapt

To whatever comes

And to be satisfied

With what I get for love

Let it be

...

[Spanish]

Seguramente que te voy a suspirar

Un par de meses, medio año, año y medio, ¿qué más da?

Seguramente que me van a reemplazar

Un par de amigos, un amante, un vividor o una deidad

Que sea

Como tenga que ser

Que sea

Lo voy a comprender

Que sea

Como lo quieras tú

Que sea

Yo tengo la virtud

De acomodarme

A lo que venga

Y conformarme

Con lo que obtenga por amor

Es Calibre 50, chiquitita

Y Joan Sebastian, el rey del jaripeo

Seguramente que un mal día has de llorar

Cuando terminen tus febriles ansias locas de pecar

Seguramente que me vas a comparar

Y encontrarás que será tarde cuando quieras regresar

Que sea

Como tenga que ser

Que sea

Lo voy a comprender

Que sea

Como lo quieras tú

Que sea

Yo tengo la virtud

De acomodarme

A lo que venga

Y conformarme

Con lo que obtenga por amor

Que sea
