[English]

I called you because it's been a year

Since we talked

To break that goodbye

That we swore to each other

I'm going to beg you on my knees

To come back to me

Because I belong to you

And I love you like before, much more

...

I called you because I still

Love you

Because this love torments me

Night and day

I'm going to beg you on my knees

To come back to me

Because I belong to you

And I love you like before, much more

...

I'm going to beg you on my knees

To come back to me

Because I belong to you

And I love you like before, much more

...

[Spanish]

Te llamé porque hace un año

Que no hablamos

Para romper aquel adiós

Que nos juramos

Voy a pedirte de rodillas

Que regreses junto a mí

Porque soy de ti

Y te quiero como antes, mucho más

Te llamé porque te quiero

Todavía

Porque este amor me atormenta

Noche y día

Voy a pedirte de rodillas

Que regreses junto a mí

Porque soy de ti

Y te quiero como antes, mucho más

Voy a pedirte de rodillas

Que regreses junto a mí

Porque soy de ti

Y te quiero como antes, mucho más
