[English]

Catch you, there are eyes that aren’t turning a blind eye

Because walls don’t just have ears, you hear?

They’ve also got mouths

...

I feel like you’ll let me down soon

I say, “Seeing is believing”

Many tell me there’s already someone else

That they saw you around with some guy (you’re crazy, man, go to therapy)

I feel you distant, a bit arrogant

I already feel we don’t feel what we used to

Though I know nothing from your mouth

If I catch you with him, gyal, if I caught you

Ah-ah-ay, if I caught you

If I caught you, ay, if I caught you

If I caught you, ay, if I caught you, if I catch you

Oh, my eyes will well up

Someone else touching you, that shakes me

If I catch your lips with others, I’ll cry (ay, yeah)

If you lie to me, give back my broken heart

This can’t hold up, it makes me feel distrustful

The desire to have you by my side, I speak of it in the past

I’ve lost hope because I feel you’re pushing me aside

And sisaya, but cayaya

You doing your thing, me here on the beach

I remember your body when it moves, yeh, it gives me nostalgia

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

Your decision to leave me in nothingness hurts

If this is real like they’re saying

I’d die if I caught you

Ah-ah-ay, if I caught you

If I caught you, ay, if I caught you

If I caught you, ay, if I caught you, if I catch you

Oh, my eyes will well up

Someone else touching you, that shakes me

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

...

Ah-ah-ay, if I caught you

If I caught you, ay, if I caught you

If I caught you, ay, if I caught you, if I catch you

If I caught 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
