[English]

Mmm

Ah

If I don't know anymore (don't know)

What to do (what to do)

I see you close and far at the same time

I thought

This was a good moment to do it right

...

And fix things

It's true that (that)

I'm not (not)

Perfect in any way, but I will learn

I know I made a thousand mistakes and I will change

Just to see you one more day

Stay by my side, let's begin

Forget the past, understand that now

I want you back

Come back to me

Break me into pieces if you're feeling down

Take my hand so we can walk

I want you back

Come back to me

I can't take it anymore (no, no)

I'll have to (have to)

Push my heart to the limit, and I won't be able to (be able)

Satisfy this huge thirst with others’ kisses

That I have for you

It will be the warmth (warmth)

Of your (of your)

Body when it merges with my skin, burn (burn)

It asks every pore and every evening

I need you here

Stay by my side, let's begin

Forget the past, understand that now

I want you back

Come back to me

Break me into pieces if you're feeling down

Take my hand so we can walk

I want you back

Come back to me

My breath is getting short

There’s no air left

There’s no air left, yeah

It’s just you and me

And our surroundings turn into nobody

I have given up on every heart

That crossed my path (that crossed my path)

Just to see you, I want to be better

Stay with me

Stay by my side, let's begin

Forget the past, understand that now

I want you back

Come back to me

Break me into pieces if you're feeling down

Take my hand so we can walk

I want you back

Come back to me

Stay by my side, let's begin

Forget the past, understand that now

I want you back

Come back to me

Break me into pieces if you're feeling down

Take my hand so we can walk

I want you back

Come back to me

Come back to me

...

Stay by my side

...

[Spanish]

Mmm

Ah

Si ya no sé (no sé)

Qué hacer (qué hacer)

Te veo cerca y lejos a la vez

Pensé

Que era un buen momento para hacerlo bien

Y rectificar

Es cierto que (en que)

No soy (no soy)

Perfecta en ningún caso, pero aprenderé

Sé que tuve mil fallos y que cambiaré

Por verte un día más

Quédate a mi lado, vamos a empezar

Olvida el pasado, entiende que ya

Quiero que vuelvas

Vuelve a mí

Rómpeme a pedazos si te sientes mal

Coge de mi mano para caminar

Quiero que vuelvas

Vuelve a mí

No puedo más (no, no)

Tendré (tendré)

Que hacer de tripas, corazón, y no podré (podré)

Saciar con otros besos esta enorme sed

Que tengo de ti

Será el calor (calor)

De tu (de tu)

Cuerpo cuando se funde con mi piel, arder (arder)

Me pide cada poro y cada anochecer

Te necesito aquí

Quédate a mi lado, vamos a empezar

Olvida el pasado, entiende que ya

Quiero que vuelvas

Vuelve a mí

Rómpeme a pedazos si te sientes mal

Coge de mi mano para caminar

Quiero que vuelvas

Vuelve a mí

Se me entrecorta la respiración

No sobra el aire

No sobra el aire, yeh

Solo somos tú y yo

Y nuestro alrededor se vuelve nadie

He renunciado a cada corazón

Que se cruzó por mi camino (que se cruzó por mi camino)

Solo por verte, quiero ser mejor

Quédate conmigo

Quédate a mi lado, vamos a empezar

Olvida el pasado, entiende que ya

Quiero que vuelvas

Vuelve a mí

Rómpeme a pedazos si te sientes mal

Coge de mi mano para caminar

Quiero que vuelvas

Vuelve a mí

Quédate a mi lado, vamos a empezar

Olvida el pasado, entiende que ya

Quiero que vuelvas

Vuelve a mí

Rómpeme a pedazos si te sientes mal

Coge de mi mano para caminar

Quiero que vuelvas

Vuelve a mí

Vuelve a mí

Quedate a mi lado
