[English]

God only knows

If you love me or if you're fooling me

Since I cannot tell

I'll keep on thinking that you love

Only me

In reality, I have no right

To doubt you

Or to not live happily

But I have a feeling it isn't with me

Even though you are here

God only knows

...

You never truly know anything

I'll be ashamed if this love

Fails simply

Because of my own mistake

...

And I must be crazy

To torment myself

Without any reason

But I am going to fight

Until I tear this ungrateful lie

From my heart

...

God only knows

...

You never truly know anything

I'll be ashamed if this love

Fails simply

Because of my own mistake

And I must be crazy

To torment myself

Without any reason

But I am going to fight

Until I tear this ungrateful lie

From my heart

...

[Spanish]

Sabrá dios

Si tu me quieres o me engañas

Como no adivinio

Seguiré pensando que me quieres

Solamente a mí

No tengo derecho en realidad

Para dudar de ti

O para no vivir feliz

Pero yo presiento que no es conmigo

Aunque estés aqui

Sabrá dios

Uno no sabe nunca nada

Me dará verguenza si este amor

Fracasa nada más

Por mi equivocación

Y debo de estar loco

Para atormentarme

Sin haber razón

Pero voy a luchar

Hasta arrancar esta ingrata mentira

De mi corazón

Sabrá dios

Uno no sabe nunca nada

Me dará verguenza si este amor

Fracasa nada más

Por mi equivocación

Y debo estar loco

Para atormentarme

Sin haber razón

Pero voy a luchar

Hasta arrancar esta ingrata mentira

De mi corazón
