[English]

Save me from the noise and the silence

I’ll have nothing left if you go

I know being with me is never easy

My voice is the collapse of your sea

And please, understand, I’m asking you

Without your hands, this body is too much

So come back whenever you want, come back

I’ve already lost this war

And if it’s necessary

I’ll give you the moon, just come back

So you’ll understand that I’m yours

La-la-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

La-la-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

So come back whenever you want, come back

I’ve already lost this war

And if it’s necessary

I’ll give you the moon, just come back

So you’ll understand that I’m yours

So you’ll understand that I’m yours

La-la-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

La-la-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

La-la-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

La-la-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

[Spanish]

Sálvame del ruido y del silencio

Que no me queda nada, si te vas

Yo sé que estar conmigo nunca es fácil

Que mi voz es el derrumbe de tu mar

Y entiende, por favor, yo te lo pido

Que sin tus manos, este cuerpo está de más

Así que, vuelve cuando tú quieras, vuelve

Que, yo, esta guerra ya la perdí

Y si es preciso

Te doy la luna y vuelve

Para que entiendas que soy de ti

La-la-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

La-la-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Así que, vuelve cuando tú quieras, vuelve

Que, yo, esta guerra ya la perdí

Y si es preciso

Te doy la luna y vuelves

Para que entiendas que soy de ti

Para que entiendas que soy de ti

La-la-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

La-la-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

La-la-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

La-la-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
