[English]

What will become of you

I need to know today about your life

Someone to tell me about your days

It got dark, and I just wanted to know

What will become of you

You unknowingly changed my whole life

Reason for a peace that is already forgotten

I don't know if I like myself more, or you more

Come

This thirst for loving you does me good

I want to wake up with you, my love

I need you to be happy

Come

Time is running, and separates us

Life is leaving us behind

I need to know, what will become of you

What will become of you

You changed my whole life without knowing

Reason for a peace that is already forgotten

I don't know if I like myself more, or you more

Come

This thirst for loving you does me good

I want to wake up with you, my love

I need you to be happy

Come

Time is running, and separates us

Life is leaving us behind

I need to know

What will become of you

...

[Spanish]

Qué será de ti

Necesito saber hoy de tu vida

Alguien que me cuente sobre tus días

Anocheció, y yo quería solo saber

Que será de ti

Cambiaste sin querer toda mi vida

Motivo de una paz que ya se olvida

No sé si gusto más de mí, o más de ti

Ven

Que esta sed de amarte me hace bien

Yo quiero amanecer contigo amor

Te necesito para estar feliz

Ven

Que el tiempo corre, y nos separa

La vida nos está dejando atrás

Yo necesito saber, que será de ti

Qué será de ti

Cambiaste sin saber toda mi vida

Motivo de una paz que ya se olvida

No sé si gusto más de mí, o más de ti

Ven

Que esta sed de amarte me hace bien

Yo quiero amanecer contigo amor

Te necesito para estar feliz

Ven

Que el tiempo corre, y nos separa

La vida nos está dejando atrás

Yo necesito saber

Que será de ti
