[English]

You fill everything now, I’m nothing to you anymore

And I’m leaving you, at last you’re happy

You won’t even notice

I’m a pain you’ve never felt

I’m a love that forced its way in

I’m just a sideshow, and that’s why I’m leaving

I won’t suffer your pride, even if you can live with the world at your feet

If my greatest love seems so small to you

You make me feel less, and that’s what hurts me most

And if you don’t like what I brought, goodbye

I’ll find a way to continue my journey

...

You make me feel less, and that’s what hurts me most

And if you don’t like what I brought, goodbye

I’ll find a way to continue my journey

...

[Spanish]

Ya todo lo llenas tú, ya no soy nada en ti

Y te voy a dejar, al fin eres feliz

Ni lo vas a notar

Soy dolor que nunca te ha dolido

Soy amor que a fuerza se ha metido

Soy una simple comparsa y por eso me voy

No sufriré tu altivez aunque puedas vivir con el mundo a tus pies

Si mi más grande amor tan pequeño lo vez

Me haces menos y ese es mi coraje

Y si no te gusta lo que traje adiós

Que de algún modo seguiré mi viaje

Me haces menos y ese es mi coraje

Y si no te gusta lo que traje adiós

Que de algún modo seguiré mi viaje
