[English]

I have so many feelings, I feel so many

things, things of love

Tears, endless tears because I want to

forget about that love

I feel like I have nothing left

I don’t know why you left like that, why I met you

I feel, oh oh oh, I feel

Oh oh oh, I feel, and I don’t want to feel

I feel, oh oh oh, I feel

Oh oh oh, I feel, and I don’t want to feel

I feel, oh oh oh, I feel

Oh oh oh, I feel, and I don’t want to feel

[Spanish]

Tengo tantos sentimientos siento tantas

cosas, cosas de amor

Llanto, llanto interminable pues quiero

olvidarme de aquel amor

Siento que ya no tengo nada

No sé por qué te fuiste así porqué te conocí

Siento oh oh oh siento

Oh oh oh siento y no quiero sentir

Siento oh oh oh siento

Oh oh oh siento y no quiero sentir

Siento oh oh oh siento

Oh oh oh siento y no quiero sentir
