Tóxico, tan tóxico

Toxic, so toxic

Hablando de veneno a la reina de la serpiente

Talking about poison to the queen of the snake

Lógico, no es lógico

Logical, it's not logical

Contigo los inviernos van de enero hasta diciembre

With you, winters go from January to December

Y ojalá que al despedirme nunca te vuelva a ver

And I hope that when I say goodbye, I never see you again

Que si me apagas, me vuelva a encender

That if you turn me off, I turn back on

Y es tan fácil verlo todo arder

And it's so easy to see everything burn

Mejor quemarlo todo

Better to burn it all

Si no te paras a intentar

If you don't stop to try

Mejor romperlo todo

Better to break it all

No, no voy a aguantar que

No, I won't stand that

Tú sigas preguntando sí

Si no voy a equivocarme

I'm not going to make a mistake

No, no, no, no

No, no, no, no

No, no voy a calmarme

No, I won't calm down

Tú bebes el desastre

You drink the disaster

Si no voy a equivocarme

If I'm not going to make a mistake

Se ha hecho tarde

¿Cómo hacer solo un sueño

Si llevo años sin dormir?

If I've gone years without sleeping?

Y tú

And you

Me pides que no me vaya

Ask me not to leave

Desastre natural, somos puro instinto

Natural disaster, we are pure instinct

Haz como que no existo

Act like I don't exist

Somos lo mismo, pero distinto

We are the same, but different

Te tiembla el pulso al disparar
