[English]

All I want is to reveal it to my shadow

She usually betrays me and sabotages me in a thousand ways

All I want is you

I wish I could be your path

Hey, it’s nothing new

I love your little eyes and the way they look at me

Hey, I want to kiss you

Getting lost in the darkness with you to see what happens

Hey, I don’t like anyone else more

You have that something that makes me sigh

Hey, blonde, come over

Yesterday I dreamed about you and I want to make it real

Get used to me

If I don’t say it today, I’ll regret it

This one’s for you

If you feel the same, never let me go

One more, one more of your caresses

Let it start from scratch, I’ll turn my skin porcelain

One more, one more of your kisses

I might fall in love, but I don’t think I’ll come out unscathed

One more, one more

One more, one more

Hey, it’s nothing new

I love your little eyes and the way they look at me

Hey, I want to kiss you

Getting lost in the darkness with you to see what happens

Hey, I don’t like anyone else more

You have that something that makes me sigh

Hey, blonde, come over

Yesterday I dreamed about you and I want to make it real

Get used to me

If I don’t say it today, I’ll regret it

This one’s for you

If you feel the same, never let me go

[Spanish]

Todo lo que quiero es revelármele a mi sombra

Suele traicionarme y boicotearme de mil formas

Todo lo que quiero es contigo

Yo quisiera ser tu camino

Hey, no es novedad

Me encantan tus ojitos y cómo me miran

Hey, te quiero besar

Perderme en lo oscurito contigo a ver que pasa

Hey, nadie me gusta más

Tú tienes ese algo que me hace suspirar

Hey güera ven pa'cá

Ayer soñé contigo y lo quiero hacer real

Acostúmbrate a mí

Si no lo digo hoy, me voy a arrepentir

Esta va para ti

Si tú sientes igual nunca me dejes ir

Una más, una más de tus caricias

Que empiece desde cero, me ponga la piel china

Uno más uno más de tus besos

Puede que me enamore, no creo salir ileso

Una más, una más

Uno más, uno más

Hey, no es novedad

Me encantan tus ojitos y cómo me miran

Hey, te quiero besar

Perderme en lo oscurito contigo a ver que pasa

Hey, nadie me gusta más

Tú tienes ese algo que me hace suspirar

Hey güera, ven pa'cá

Ayer soñé contigo y lo quiero hacer real

Acostúmbrate a mí

Si no lo digo hoy, me voy a arrepentir

Esta va para ti

Si tú sientes igual nunca me dejes ir
