[English]

Forgive me if you heard this message

I promised not to bother you, I swore I wouldn't call you

Forgive me that my heart doesn't understand

You took it by surprise, I didn't expect the end so soon

I couldn't stand this moment of desperation

You got me used to the sound of your voice

My lips are crying out for the sweetness of your kisses

And even though I cry for your absence, I know there will be no return

Today I know that I will cry, my soul hurts

I know I will miss you, that I will need you

I will try to erase from my memory

All the magic of our story

And I even deleted your number from my phone

The only bad thing is that I know it by heart

What a machinery, buddy

...

Today I know that I will cry, my soul hurts

I know I will miss you, that I will need you

I will try to erase from my memory

All the magic of our story

And I even deleted your number from my phone

The only bad thing is that I know it by heart

...

[Spanish]

Perdona si escuchaste este mensaje

Prometí no molestarte, te juré que no te iba a llamar

Perdona que mi corazón no entienda

Lo tomaste por sorpresa, no esperaba tan pronto el final

No aguantaba este momento de desesperación

Me dejaste acostumbrado al sonido de tu voz

Mis labios piden a gritos ese dulce de tus besos

Y aunque llore por tu ausencia sé que ya no habrá regreso

Hoy sé que lloraré, me duele el alma

Sé que te extrañare, que me harás falta

Trataré de borrar de mi memoria

Todo lo mágico de nuestra historia

Y hasta borré tu número de mi teléfono

Lo único malo es que lo sé de memoria

Qué maquinaria, compadre

Hoy sé que lloraré, me duele el alma

Sé que te extrañare, que me harás falta

Trataré de borrar de mi memoria

Todo lo mágico de nuestra historia

Y hasta borré tu número de mi teléfono

Lo único malo es que lo sé de memoria
