Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

No creas que me dio pa abajo tu adiós

Don't think your goodbye got me down

Desde antes traía broncas en el amor

I was having love troubles even before

Te fuiste y aquí todo sigue normal

You left and everything here stays the same

Aunque me mires mal

Even if you look at me badly

No pienses que te marqué para volver

Don't think I called you to come back

Lo hice, te lo prometo, sin querer

I did it, I promise, without meaning to

Estaba borrando la conversación

I was deleting our conversation

De nosotros dos

Between us two

No estoy llorando

I'm not crying

Traigo un "te extraño" en el ojo

I have a 'miss you' in my eye

Se me metió cuando miré tus fotos

It got into me when I saw your photos

Y este nudo en la garganta

And this knot in my throat

Es el "te amo" que quiero decirte

Is the 'I love you' I want to tell you

Por eso, ya mejor hablando claro

That's why, better to speak clearly

Debo decir que sigo enamorado

I have to say I'm still in love

Y por más tonto que me haga

And no matter how foolish I seem

Todavía te amo

I still love you

...

...

No estoy llorando

Traigo un "te extraño" en el ojo

I have a 'miss you' in my eye

Se me metió cuando miré tus fotos

It got into me when I saw your photos

Y este nudo en la garganta

And this knot in my throat

Es el "te amo" que quiero decirte

Is the 'I love you' I want to tell you

Por eso, ya mejor hablando claro

That's why, better to speak clearly

Debo decir que sigo enamorado

I have to say I'm still in love

Y por más tonto que me haga

And no matter how foolish I seem

Todavía te amo

I still love you

Y debes saber que quiero volver

And you should know I want to come back

De nuevo a tu lado

Back to your side
