[English]

I wanted to kill myself and I shot myself, eh, eh

An arrow with my own bow

And instead of dying I fell in love, eh, eh

With myself in the middle of a puddle

With myself in the middle of a puddle of blood

And now I live in love, I drift like a boat

Or the leaf of a tree falling onto a puddle

Since that arrow shot I’ve believed I’m perfect

I look in the mirror and don’t see my flaws

I live in love, I drift like a boat

Like the leaf of a tree falling onto a puddle

Any day now I’ll be in every newspaper

Saying I’ve died or I’ve gone to the other side of town

From an overdose of love

From an overdose of love

And they’ll say I went to the other side of town

From an overdose of love

...

And I’m leaving this world

Floating as if on the sea

Because love is very deep

And I never learned to swim

And I dive until the air runs out

Jumping like dolphins

Life is like a movie

And I want it to end

From an overdose of love

From an overdose of love

And they’ll say I went to the other side of town

From an overdose of love

...

[Spanish]

Quise matarme y me disparé, eh, eh

Una flecha con mi propio arco

Y en vez de morir me enamoré, eh, eh

De mí mismo en medio de un charco

De mí mismo en medio de un charco de sangre

Y ahora vivo enamorado, floto como un barco

O la hoja de un árbol que cae encima de un charco

Desde aquel flechazo me creo que soy perfecto

Me miro al espejo y no me veo los defectos

Vivo enamorado, floto como un barco

Como la hoja de un árbol que cae encima de un charco

Cualquier día de estos salgo en todos los diarios

Diciendo que he muerto o me he ido para el otro barrio

Por una sobredosis de amor

Por una sobredosis de amor

Y dirán que me fui al otro barrio

Por una sobredosis de amor

Y me marcho de este mundo

Flotando como en el mar

Porque el amor es muy profundo

Y yo nunca supe nadar

Y buceo hasta que el aire se termine

Pegando saltos como los delfines

La vida es como una peli de cine

Y quiero que termine

Por una sobredosis de amor

Por una sobredosis de amor

Y dirán que me fui al otro barrio

Por una sobredosis de amor
