[English]

Again

Playing with my love

Saying that no longer

You need me

Why?

One day you give yourself to me

And the next, you pull away

Again

Repeating again

What a mistake it all was!

What a devilry!

Why?

One day you run away from me

And the next, you look for me

You're driving me crazy

My love!

You're turning me bad

Why, yes!

You're breaking my soul

And I just can't stay calm anymore

Neither with you nor without you!

You're driving me crazy

My love!

You're stealing my desire

to live!

And there's no way to heal

Because I can't stay

Neither with you nor without you!

Again

Talking to me about him

Saying that it's that one

Whom you love

Why?

One day you betray me

And the next, you call me

Again

Saying that you'll leave

And that I'll never, ever see your face

Why?

One day I'm too much

And the next, you miss me

You're driving me crazy

My love!

You're turning me bad

Why, yes!

You're breaking my soul

And I can't keep calm

Neither with you nor without you!

You're driving me crazy

My love!

You're stealing my will

to live!

There's no way to cure me

Because I can't stay

Neither with you nor without you!

You're driving me crazy

My love!

You're turning me bad

Why, yes!

You're breaking my soul

And I have no calm anymore

Neither with you nor without you!

You're driving me crazy

My love!

Otra vez

Jugando, con mi amor

Diciendo, que ya no

Me necesitas

¿Por qué?

Un día te me das

Y al otro, te me quitas

Otra vez

Volviendo a repetir

¡Qué todo fue un error!

¡Una diablura!

¿Por qué?

Un día huyes de mi

Y al siguiente, me buscas

Tú me estás volviendo loco

¡Corazón!

Tú me estás haciendo malo

¡Porqué, sí!

Tú me estás rompiendo el alma

Y es que ya no tengo calma

¡Ni contigo, ni sin ti!

Tú me estás volviendo loco

¡Corazón!

Tú me estás robando ganas

¡De vivir!

Y no hay modo de curarme

Porque no puedo quedarme

¡Ni contigo, ni sin ti!

Otra vez

Hablándome, de el

Diciendo que es aquel

A quien tú amas

¿Por qué?

Un día me traicionas

Y al siguiente, me llamas

Otra vez

Diciendo que te irás

Y que nunca jamás, veré tu cara

¿Por qué?

Un día estoy de mas

Y al siguiente, me extrañas

Tú me estás volviendo loco

¡Corazón!

Tú me estás haciendo malo

¡Porqué, sí!

Tú me estás rompiendo el alma

Y es que ya no tengo calma

¡Ni contigo, ni sin ti!

Tú me estás volviendo loco

¡Corazón!

Tú me estás robando ganas

¡De vivir!

Y no hay modo de curarme

Porque no puedo quedarme

¡Ni contigo, ni sin ti!

Tú me estás volviendo loco

¡Corazón!

Tú me estás haciendo malo

¡Porqué, sí!

Tú me estás rompiendo el alma

Y es que ya no tengo calma

¡Ni contigo, ni sin ti!

Tú me estás volviendo loco

¡Corazón!
