[English]

I dreamt when I was little

Without worry, in the heart

I still see that moment

It faded away, it disappeared

I no longer believe you, I no longer desire you, eh-oh

I only see you, I only desire you, eh-oh

...

Look, Sofia

Without your gaze, I continue

Without your gaze, I continue

Tell me, Sofia, ah-ah-ah

How does he look at you? Tell me

How does he look at you? Tell me

I know it's not, I know it's not, oh

I know that only

I know I'm no longer, oy-oy-oy

Look, Sofia

Without your gaze, I continue

Without your gaze, Sofia

...

You say we were happy

Everything is already gone, everything is already gone

I know I clipped your wings

He made you fly, he made you dream

I no longer believe you, I no longer desire you, eh-oh

I only see you, I only desire you, eh-oh

Look, Sofia

Without your gaze, I continue

Without your gaze, I continue

Tell me, Sofia, ah-ah-ah

How does he look at you? Tell me

How does he look at you? Tell me

I know it's not, I know it's not, oh

I know that only

I know I'm no longer, oy-oy-oy

Look, Sofia

Without your gaze, I continue

Without your gaze, Sofia

...

And why don't you tell me the truth? Eh

...

I still go on without your gaze, Sofia, eh, eh, eh, eh

And why don't you tell me the truth?

Look, Sofia

Without your gaze, I continue

Without your gaze

Tell me, Sofia

How does he look at you? Tell me

How does he look at you? Uh!

Look, Sofia

Without your gaze, I continue

Without your gaze, I continue

Tell me, Sofia, ah-ah-ah

How does he look at you? Tell me

How does he look at you? Tell me

I know it's not, I know it's not, oh

I know that only

I know I'm no longer, oy-oy-oy

Look, Sofia

Without your gaze, I continue

Without your gaze, Sofia

...

[Spanish]

Sueño cuando era pequeño

Sin preocupación, en el corazón

Sigo viendo aquel momento

Se desvaneció, desapareció

Ya no te creo, ya no te deseo, eh-oh

Solo te veo, solo te deseo, eh-oh

Mira, Sofía

Sin tu mirada sigo

Sin tu mirada sigo

Dime, Sofía, ah-ah-ah

¿Cómo te mira? Dime

¿Cómo te mira? Dime

Sé que no, sé que no, oh

Sé que solo

Sé que ya no soy, oy-oy-oy

Mira, Sofía

Sin tu mirada sigo

Sin tu mirada, Sofía

Dices que éramos felices

Todo ya pasó, todo ya pasó

Sé que te corté las alas

Él te hizo volar, él te hizo soñar

Ya no te creo, ya no te deseo, eh-oh

Solo te veo, solo te deseo, eh-oh

Mira, Sofía

Sin tu mirada sigo

Sin tu mirada sigo

Dime, Sofía, ah-ah-ah

¿Cómo te mira? Dime

¿Cómo te mira? Dime

Sé que no, sé que no, oh

Sé que solo

Sé que ya no soy, oy-oy-oy

Mira, Sofía

Sin tu mirada sigo

Sin tu mirada, Sofía

¿Y por qué no me dices la verdad? Eh

Sigo sin tu mirada Sofía, eh, eh, eh, eh

¿Y por qué no me dices la verdad?

Mira, Sofía

Sin tu mirada sigo

Sin tu mirada

Dime, Sofía

¿Cómo te mira? Dime

¿Cómo te mira? ¡Uh!

Mira, Sofía

Sin tu mirada sigo

Sin tu mirada sigo

Dime, Sofía, ah-ah-ah

¿Cómo te mira? Dime

¿Cómo te mira? Dime

Sé que no, sé que no, oh

Sé que solo

Sé que ya no soy, oy-oy-oy

Mira, Sofía

Sin tu mirada sigo

Sin tu mirada, Sofía
