[English]

Forgive me if I ask how you are

But I've heard that you've been seen alone

Crying in the streets late at night

Oh, like a crazy, crazy, crazy woman

They say that your boy has left you

That there is no comfort for so much crying

That only a friend is by your side

Don't cry anymore, my girl, girl, girl

These are loves

Loves that kill

Loves that laugh, loves that cry

Loves that embitter

These are loves

Loves that deceive

Loves that overwhelm, loves that play

Loves that are missing, ah-ah

Stop crying

And think that someday a boy will give you

A whole fantasy, that and much more

Because you're not crazy, crazy, crazy

Stop crying

And dry those little crystal tears

That time will surely come back to rescue

All that fantasy, fantasy

They say you no longer wear those clothes

That flattered you and made you so cute

And that those illusions you had before

Were swallowed by the moon, moon, moon

You think you are the shadow of your own shadow

You think you are the rain that drizzles and overwhelms

Think that you are worth more than this story

And don't see yourself alone, alone, alone

And in your heart there is neither heat nor cold

It's like a pain or a chill

And you even think your own soul is your enemy

And that thing lives with you

These are loves

Loves that kill

Loves that laugh, loves that cry

Loves that embitter

These are loves

Loves that deceive

Loves that overwhelm, loves that play

Loves that are missing

Stop crying

And think that someday a boy will give you

A whole fantasy, that and much more

Because you're not crazy, crazy, crazy

Stop crying

And dry those little crystal tears

That time will surely come back to rescue

All that fantasy, fantasy

Stop crying

And think that someday a boy will give you

A whole fantasy, that and much more

Because you're not crazy, crazy, crazy

Stop crying

And dry those little crystal tears

That time will surely come back to rescue

All that fantasy, fantasy

Stop crying

And think that someday a boy will give you

A whole fantasy, that and much more

Because you're not crazy, crazy, crazy

Stop crying

And dry those little crystal tears

That time will surely come back to rescue

...

[Spanish]

Perdona si pregunto por cómo te encuentras

Pero me han comentado que te han visto sola

Llorando por las calles en altas horas

Ay, como las loca', loca', loca'

Comentan que tu niño a ti te ha dejado

Que no existe consuelo para tanto llanto

Que solo una amiga está a tu lado

No llores más, mi niña, niña, niña

Son de amores

Amores que matan

Amores que ríen, amores que lloran

Amores que amargan

Son de amores

Amores que engañan

Amores que agobian, amores que juegan

Amores que faltan, ah-ah

Deja de llorar

Y piensa que algún día un niño te dará

Toda una fantasía, eso y mucho más

Porque tú no estás loca, loca, loca

Deja de llorar

Y sécate esas lagrimillas de cristal

Que el tiempo volverá seguro a rescatar

Toda esa fantasía, fantasía

Comentan que ya no te pones esa ropa

Que te favorecía y te hacía tan mona

Y que esas ilusiones que tenías antes

Se las tragó la luna, luna, luna

Tú crees que eres la sombra de tu propia sombra

Tú crees que eres la lluvia que chispea y agobia

Piensa que tú vales más que esta historia

Y no te veas sola, sola, sola

Y en tu corazón no hay calor ni frío

Es como un dolor o un escalofrío

Y hasta tu propia alma crees que es tu enemigo

Y eso que vive contigo

Son de amores

Amores que matan

Amores que ríen, amores que lloran

Amores que amargan

Son de amores

Amores que engañan

Amores que agobian, amores que juegan

Amores que faltan

Deja de llorar

Y piensa que algún día un niño te dará

Toda una fantasía, eso y mucho más

Porque tú no estás loca, loca, loca

Deja de llorar

Y sécate esas lagrimillas de cristal

Que el tiempo volverá seguro a rescatar

Toda esa fantasía, fantasía

Deja de llorar

Y piensa que algún día un niño te dará

Toda una fantasía, eso y mucho más

Porque tú no estás loca, loca, loca

Deja de llorar

Y sécate esas lagrimillas de cristal

Que el tiempo volverá seguro a rescatar

Toda esa fantasía, fantasía

Deja de llorar

Y piensa que algún día un niño te dará

Toda una fantasía, eso y mucho más

Porque tú no estás loca, loca, loca

Deja de llorar

Y sécate esas lagrimillas de cristal

Que el tiempo volverá seguro a rescatar
