[English]

Don't think your goodbye got me down

I've had troubles with love even before that

You left and everything here is still normal

Even if you see me looking down

Don't think I called you to get back together

I did it, I promise you, by accident

I was deleting our conversation

The one between us

I'm not crying

I have an "I miss you" in my eye

It got in when I looked at your photos

And this lump in my throat

It's the "I love you" I want to tell you

That's why, speaking clearly now

I have to say that I'm still in love

And no matter how foolish I act

I still love you

...

I'm not crying

I have an "I miss you" in my eye

It got in when I looked at your photos

And this lump in my throat

It's the "I love you" I want to tell you

That's why, speaking clearly now

I have to say that I'm still in love

And no matter how foolish I act

I still love you

And you should know that I want to come back

Back by your side

...

[Spanish]

No creas que me dio pa abajo tu adiós

Desde antes traía broncas en el amor

Te fuiste y aquí todo sigue normal

Aunque me mires mal

No pienses que te marqué para volver

Lo hice, te lo prometo, sin querer

Estaba borrando la conversación

De nosotros dos

No estoy llorando

Traigo un "te extraño" en el ojo

Se me metió cuando miré tus fotos

Y este nudo en la garganta

Es el "te amo" que quiero decirte

Por eso, ya mejor hablando claro

Debo decir que sigo enamorado

Y por más tonto que me haga

Todavía te amo

No estoy llorando

Traigo un "te extraño" en el ojo

Se me metió cuando miré tus fotos

Y este nudo en la garganta

Es el "te amo" que quiero decirte

Por eso, ya mejor hablando claro

Debo decir que sigo enamorado

Y por más tonto que me haga

Todavía te amo

Y debes saber que quiero volver

De nuevo a tu lado
