[English]

Don't think your goodbye got me down

I was having love troubles even before

You left and everything here stays the same

Even if you look at me badly

Don't think I called you to come back

I did it, I promise, without meaning to

I was deleting our conversation

Between us two

I'm not crying

I have a 'miss you' in my eye

It got into me when I saw your photos

And this knot in my throat

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

That's why, better to speak clearly

I have to say I'm still in love

And no matter how foolish I seem

I still love you

...

I'm not crying

I have a 'miss you' in my eye

It got into me when I saw your photos

And this knot in my throat

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

That's why, better to speak clearly

I have to say I'm still in love

And no matter how foolish I seem

I still love you

And you should know I want to come back

Back to 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
