[English]

He sees me walking into the club and he just

keeps staring. I think he recognized me. He'll be

just another one of many.

Maybe you're my next mistake. My next

mistake.

I'm glancing at you while I'm with my friends.

That summer shirt is still there, too.

Today you're going to be my next mistake. My

next mistake. And I don't know where she

could have gone. She's not in the bathroom or in

the hallways.

Fuck. There's the bar and he's coming straight to

me. He tells me he wants to have some fun. I

tell him that rumors fly fast. He

tells me he doesn't care about being with a

superstar.

I tell him, "Where on earth did you come from?" He

tells me he wants to be with me. I

tell him it's not easy to fall in love with a

superstar.

Everyone here is watching. Let's go

to the bathroom alone and pick up where we

left off. I just want to get to know you a little

more.

I guess I haven't thought this through, but

tomorrow we'll be on the TV news. That it's

you I tell my lies to,

tattooing your last name, loving each other for

a lifetime, and I don't know what the hell we're

doing.

I don't know you, but I'm dying for you.

Fuck. Let's get out of here. I am all

yours. He tells me he wants to

have some fun. I tell him that rumors

fly fast. He tells me he doesn't care

about being with a superstar.

I tell him, "Where did you come from?"

He tells me he wants to be with me. I

tell him it's not easy to fall in love with

a superstar.

[Spanish]

Me ve entrando en la isco y se me queda

mirando. Creo que me ha conocido. Será

un más de tantos

Quizá eres mi próximo error. Mi próximo

error.

Estoy con mis amigas de reojo mirándote.

Queda también esa camisa de ver.

Hoy vas a ser mi próximo error. Mi

próximo error. Y no sé dónde se

habrá metido. No está en el baño ni en

los pasillos.

Fuck. Está la barra y viene directo a

mí. Él me dice que quiere divertirse. Yo

le digo que los rumores vuelan. Él me

dice que no le importa estar con una

superestrella.

Yo le digo de dónde tú has salido. Él me

dice que quiere estar conmigo. Yo le

digo que no es fácil enamorarse de una

superestrella.

Aquí está todo el mundo mirando. Vamos

solos al baño y retomamos lo que estamos

empezando. Solo quiero conocerte un poco

más.

Supongo que no lo he pensado bien, pero

mañana seremos noticias de TV. Que seas

tú a quien le cuente mis mentiras,

tatuarme tu apellido, querernos para

toda la vida y no sé qué diablos estamos

haciendo.

No te conozco, pero me estoy muriendo.

Fuck. Vámonos ya de aquí. Yo soy toda

parte ti. Él me dice que quiere

divertirse. Yo le digo que los rumores

vuelan. Él me dice que no le importa

estar con una superestrella.

Yo le digo, "¿De dónde te has salido?"

Él me dice que quiere estar conmigo. Yo

le digo que no es fácil enamorarse de

una superestrella.
