[English]

In my life, you were just a tourist

You only saw the best of me

And not the things I was suffering through

You left without knowing why

The reason behind my wounds

And it wasn't your job to heal them

You came here to have a good time

And we did have a good time

A pretty photo

A beautiful sunset

A little dance

Your gold chain

We were so close

Looking into each other's eyes

Tell me, did you see the pain

Of my broken heart?

It's been like this, it's been like this for a long time

It's been like this, it's been like this for many years

Hiding my feelings

I'm afraid of getting hurt even more

And it's been like this, it's been like this for a long time

It's been like this, it's been like this for many years, ey

I don't know anymore, my love

What life has in store

For you and for me

If it happens, it happens

And if it doesn't, that's okay too

Let's just enjoy ourselves because

The night turned beautiful

But not as beautiful as you

Never, ever like you, uh-uh

...

In my life, you were just a tourist

You only saw the best of me

And not the things I was suffering through

You left without knowing why

The reason behind my wounds

And it wasn't your job to heal them

You came here to have a good time

And we did have a good time

...

[Portuguese]

En mi vida fuistes turista

Tú solo vistes lo mejor de mí

Y no lo que yo sufría

Te fuiste sin saber el porqué

El porqué de mis herida'

Y no te tocaba a ti curarla'

Vinistes a pasarla bien

Y la pasamos bien

Una foto bonita

Un atardecer hermoso

Una bailaíta

Tu cadenita de oro

Estuvimos tan cerquita

Mirándono a los ojo'

Dime si vistes la pena

De mi corazón roto

Que lleva así, lleva así mucho tiempo

Ya lleva así, lleva así muchos año'

Escondiéndome los sentimiento'

Tengo miedo que me hagan más daño

Y lleva así, lleva así mucho tiempo

Ya lleva así, lleva así muchos año', ey

Ya no sé, mi amor

Lo que la vida tendrá

Pa ti y pa mí

Si se da, pues se da

Y si no, pues también

Vamos a disfrutar que

La noche se puso bonita

Pero no tanto como tú

Jamás y nunca como tú, uh-uh

En mi vida fuistes turista

Tú solo vistes lo mejor de mí

Y no lo que yo sufría

Te fuiste sin saber el porqué

El porqué de mis herida'

Y no te tocaba a ti curarla'

Vinistes a pasarla bien

Y la pasamos bien
