[English]

Life goes in so many circles

and I’ve been around them so many times.

So if my door comes knocking

I'm not in the mood to waste any more time, because

I’ve got my heart on standby inside

which bit by bit turned into wood so

it wouldn't stumble again.

Because I am a survivor

with scars from so many people. And if

you come with everything you've got, stay. And if not,

leave, because honestly, being alone

isn't so bad either, because I am a survivor

who has seen himself like this many times before. And

if you come with everything you've got, I'll stay until the

very end. If not, turn around and close

it hard before you come in.

How many times did I lose my way, and I swear that

I felt that my inner light had

gone out. Good thing that wasn't the case. I realized

and understood that I was plugged into

the wrong outlet. And me, who doesn't believe in

borders, I’ve put up walls, blocks, and

barriers

so that nobody who shouldn't can enter, because I won't

love without it hurting me

because I am a survivor

with scars from so many people. And if

you come with everything you've got, stay. And if not,

leave, because honestly, being alone

isn't so bad either, because I am a survivor who

has seen himself like this many times before. And if

you come with everything you've got, I'll stay until the

very end. If not, turn around, close it

hard before you come in

because I am a survivor.

I'm not asking you to leave, nor am I asking you

to stay

even if I'm dying to, I don't die anymore if

it doesn't die.

Each time it's stranger and more complicated

to convince myself.

Maybe it's the years, that I don't see

a single second to love myself.

That I am a survivor

with scars from so many people. And if

you come with everything you've got, stay. And if not, leave,

and honestly, being alone isn't so bad either,

because I am a survivor

who has seen himself like this many times before

and if you come with everything you've got, I'll stay until

the very end.

[Spanish]

La vida que da tanta vuelta

y yo que tanta vuelta llevo.

Así que si viene mi pueta

no estoy para perder más tiempo porque

tengo dentro el corazón en modo espera

que poco a poco se hizo de madera para

no volverse a tropezar.

Porque soy un superviviente

con cicatrices de tanta gente. Y si

vienes con todo, quédate. Y si no te

vas, que solo la verdad tampoco se está

mal, porque soy un superviviente

que ya se ha visto así muchas veces. Y

si vienes con todo, yo me quedo hasta el

final. Si no, date la puerta y cierra

fuerte antes de entrar.

Cuántas veces me perdí y te juro que

sentí que mi luz de dentro se me había

apagado. Menos mal que no era así. Me di

cuenta y comprendí de que estaba en un

enchufe equivocado. Y yo que no creo en

la frontera he puesto muro, bloque y

barrera

para que no entre quien no deba, que no

se va a querer sin que me duela

porque soy un superviviente

con cicatrices de tanta gente. Y si

vienes con todo, quédate. Y si no te

vas, que solo la verdad tampoco se está

mal, porque soy un superviviente que ya

se ha visto así muchas veces. Y si

vienes con todo, yo me quedo hasta el

final. Si no date la vuelta, cierra

fuerte antes de entrar

porque soy un superviviente.

Yo no pido que te vayas ni tampoco que

te que

aunque me muera de gana ya no muero si

no muere.

Cada vez más raro y más complicado

convencerme.

Será con los años que no veo ni un

segundo de quererme.

Que soy un superviviente

con cicatrices de tanta gente. Y si

vienes con todo, quédate. Y si no te vas

y solo la verdad tampoco se está mal

porque soy un superviviente

que ya se visto así muchas veces

y si viene con todo, yo me quedo hasta

el final.
