[English]

Today I went back to sleep in our bed

And everything's the same

The air and our cats, nothing will change

Hard to forget you here, oh, oh, oh

I want to see you

I still love you and, I think, more than yesterday

The poisonous ivy keeps you from seeing

I feel mutilated and so small, ah, ah, ah

Come and tell me the truth

Have mercy

And tell me why, no, no, no, oh

How did you stop loving me?

I could still endure

Your so much lack of love

...

A month ago, I used to listen to you

And be your accomplice

I thought there was no one else but you

I was your friend and your partner, ah, ah, ah

Now I will sleep

Very deeply to forget

I wish even death, so I won't think

I cover myself to get rid of this bitterness, ah, ah, ah

Come and tell me the truth

Have mercy

And tell me why, no, no, no, oh

How did you stop loving me?

I could still endure

Your so much lack of love

...

Come and tell me the truth

Have mercy

And tell me why, no, no, no, oh

How did you stop loving me?

I could still endure

Your so much lack of love

...

[Spanish]

Hoy volví a dormir en nuestra cama

Y todo sigue igual

El aire y nuestros gatos, nada cambiará

Difícil olvidarte estando aquí, oh, oh, oh

Te quiero ver

Aún te amo y, creo, que hasta más que ayer

La hiedra venenosa no te deja ver

Me siento mutilada y tan pequeña, ah, ah, ah

Ven y cuéntame la verdad

Ten piedad

Y dime por qué, no, no no, oh

¿Cómo fue que me dejaste de amar?

Yo aún podía soportar

Tu tanta falta de querer

Hace un mes solía escucharte

Y ser tu cómplice

Pensé que ya no había nadie más que tú

Yo fui tu amiga y fui tu compañera, ah, ah, ah

Ahora dormiré

Muy profundamente para olvidar

Quisiera hasta la muerte, para no pensar

Me forro pa' quitarme esta amargura, ah, ah, ah

Ven y cuéntame la verdad

Ten piedad

Y dime por qué, no, no no, oh

¿Cómo fue que me dejaste de amar?

Yo aún podía soportar

Tu tanta falta de querer

Ven y cuéntame la verdad

Ten piedad

Y dime por qué, no, no no, oh

¿Cómo fue que me dejaste de amar?

Yo aún podía soportar

Tu tanta falta de querer
