[English]

There are eyes that don't pretend to be blind

Because walls not only have ears, you know?

They also have mouths

...

I feel like you're about to betray me soon

I tell myself: "Seeing is believing"

Many say that there's someone else already

That they saw you with someone (you're crazy, bro, go to therapy)

I feel you're distant, a bit arrogant

I already feel like we’re not like before

Though I don’t hear anything about you from your mouth

If I catch you with him, girl, if I catch you

Ah-ah-ay, if I catch you

If I catch you, yeah, if I catch you

If I catch you, yeah, if I catch you, if I do

Oh, my eyes will fill with tears

If someone else touches you, that hurts me

If I see your lips with others, I’ll cry (ah, yeah)

If you lie to me, return my torn heart

That can’t hold up, it makes me distrustful

My desire to see you by my side I say in the past tense

I lost hope because I feel like you’re leaving me aside

And sisaya, but cayaya

You doing your thing, I’m here at the beach

I remember your body when you sway, yeah, it makes me nostalgic

I miss you so much, I don’t feel you anymore

Your decision to leave me in nothing hurts

If this is real, as they say

I would die if I caught you

Ah-ah-ay, if I catch you

If I catch you, yeah, if I catch you

If I catch you, yeah, if I catch you, if I do

Oh, my eyes will fill with tears

If someone else touches you, that hurts me

If I see your lips with others, I’ll cry

...

Ah-ah-ay, if I catch you

If I catch you, yeah, if I catch you

If I catch you, yeah, if I catch you, if I do

If I catch you

...

[Spanish]

Pilla, hay ojos que no se hacen los ciegos

Porque las paredes no solo tienen oídos, ¿oíste?

También tienen bemba

Siento que pronto me fallarás

Yo digo: "Ver para creer"

Muchos me dicen que ya hay alguien más

Que te vieron por ahí con un tal (estás loco, marico, ve a terapia)

Te siento distante, un poco arrogante

Ya siento que no sentimos lo de antes

Aunque yo de tu boca no sé nada

Si te pillo con él, gyal, si te pillara

Ah-ah-ay, si te pillara

Si te pillara, ay, si te pillara

Si te pillara, ay, si te pillara, si te pillo

Oh, los ojitos se me aguarán

Que alguien más te toque, eso me azara

Si tus labios pillo con otros, lloro (ay, yeah)

Si me mientes, devuelve mi cora destrozado

Eso no aguanta, esto me hace sentir desconfiado

Las ganas de verte a mi lado las digo en pasado

Perdí la' esperanzas porque siento que me haces a un lado

Y sisaya, pero cayaya

Tú haciendo lo tuyo, yo aquí en la playa

Recuerdo tu body cuando guaya, yeh, me da nostalgia

Te extraño tanto, ya no te siento

Duele tu decisión de dejarme en la nada

Si esto es real como están diciendo

Me moriría si yo te pillara

Ah-ah-ay, si te pillara

Si te pillara, ay, si te pillara

Si te pillara, ay, si te pillara, si te pillo

Oh, los ojitos se me aguarán

Que alguien más te toque, eso me azara

Si tus labios pillo con otros, lloro

Ah-ah-ay, si te pillara

Si te pillara, ay, si te pillara

Si te pillara, ay, si te pillara, si te pillo

Si te pillara
