[English]

If I could lie to you

I'd tell you that everything here

...

Is going very well

But that's not the case

...

This house is just a thought

That speaks to me of you

...

And your voice is like this very wind

That comes toward me today

...

Every time it hurts me to lose

One more minute

...

Here, unable to understand

Why you're not here

These dark afternoons scare me

And it doesn't do me any good

...

Walking in the opposite direction

From my Eden

...

Sometimes I think I hear that you need me

...

And once in a while I feel your gaze

...

I've made some changes in myself

Thinking if you'll like them

How impossible it is to stop loving you

...

There's no formula to forget you

...

You are my music and my best song

...

I know there's no heart

That feels the same for you

...

Like mine, which pleads today for you to return to me

And it's Calibre 50, little one

...

There's no formula to forget you

...

You are my music and my best song

...

I know there's no heart

That feels the same for you

Like mine, which pleads today for you to return to me

...

[Spanish]

Si te pudiera mentir

Te diría que aquí

Todo va marchando muy bien

Pero no es así

Esta casa es solo un pensamiento

Que me habla de ti

Y es tu voz como este mismo viento

Que hoy viene hacia mí

Cada vez me duele perder

Un minuto más

Aquí, sin poder entender

Por qué tú no estás

Estas tardes oscuras me asustan

Y no me hace bien

Caminar en sentido contrario

A lo que es mi Edén

A veces creo oír que me necesitas

Y alguna que otra vez siento tu mirar

He hecho unos cambios en mí

Pensando si te gustarán

Qué imposible es dejarte de amar

No existe fórmula para olvidarte

Eres mi música y mi mejor canción

Sé que no hay un corazón

Que sienta lo mismo por ti

Como este que implora hoy regreses a mí

Y es Calibre 50, chiquitita

No existe fórmula para olvidarte

Eres mi música y mi mejor canción

Sé que no hay un corazón

Que sienta lo mismo por ti

Como este que implora hoy regreses a mí
