[English]

One tear is not enough

For me to forgive you

You stole my soul

You took everything away

Now you come to me, but with nothing

I'm begging you, please

Don't look at me with love

If you've already destroyed me

What more do you want from me?

When I already gave you everything, everything

Have mercy, don't look for me anymore

You don't love me, and when I look at you

I forget everything and want to hold you

I want to hold you

And stay by your side forever

...

I'm begging you, please

Don't look at me with love

If you've already destroyed me

What more do you want from me?

When I already gave you everything, everything

Have mercy, don't look for me anymore

You don't love me, and when I look at you

I forget everything and want to hold you

I want to hold you

And stay by your side forever

Have mercy, don't look for me anymore

...

[Spanish]

Una lágrima no basta

Para que yo te perdone

Te robaste mi alma

Tú te llevaste todo

Ahora vienes a mí, pero sin nada

Te lo pido, por favor

No me mires con amor

Si acabaste conmigo ya

¿Qué más quieres de mí?

Si ya todo, todo te lo di

Ten compasión ya no me busques

Tú no me amas y yo cuando te miro

De todo me olvido y quiero abrazarte

Quisiera abrazarte

Y quedarme para siempre juntito a ti

Te lo pido, por favor

No me mires con amor

Si acabaste conmigo ya

¿Qué más quieres de mí?

Si ya todo, todo te lo di

Ten compasión, ya no me busques

Tú no me amas y yo cuando te miro

De todo me olvido y quiero abrazarte

Quisiera abrazarte

Y quedarme para siempre juntito a ti

Ten compasión, ya no me busques
