[English]

Hold me tight

...

And don't say anything, just hold me tight

Your look is enough for me to understand

That you will leave

Hold me tight

As if it were the first time now

As if you loved me today as much as yesterday

Hold me tight

If you leave

You'll forget that one day, a long time ago

When we were still children, you began to love me

And I gave you my life, if you leave

If you leave

Nothing will be ours anymore, you'll take away

In a single moment, an eternity

I'll be left with nothing

If you leave

Hold me tight

And don't say anything, just hold me tight

I don't want you to leave, but I know very well

That you will leave

Hold me tight

As if it were the first time now

As if you loved me today as much as yesterday

Hold me tight

...

If you leave

Silence will be left for me to talk to

The shadow of your body and loneliness

Will be my companions, if you leave

If you leave

Time and the best years will go with you

I will continue loving you more each day

I will wait for you to return

If you leave

...

[Spanish]

Abrázame

Y no me digas nada, solo abrázame

Me basta tu mirada para comprender

Que tú te irás

Abrázame

Como si fuera ahora la primera vez

Como si me quisieras hoy igual que ayer

Abrázame

Si tú te vas

Te olvidarás que un día, hace tiempo ya

Cuando eramos aún niños, me empezaste a amar

Y yo te di mi vida, si te vas

Si tú te vas

Ya nada será nuestro, tú te llevaras

En un solo momento, una eternidad

Me quedaré sin nada

Si tú te vas

Abrázame

Y no me digas nada, solo abrázame

No wuiero que te vayas, pero sé muy bien

Que tú te irás

Abrázame

Como si fuera ahora la primera vez

Como si me quisieras hoy igual que ayer

Abrázame

Si tú te vas

Me quedará el silencio para conversar

La sombra de tu cuerpo y la soledad

Serán mis compañeras, si te vas

Si tú te vas

Se irá contigo el tiempo y mejor edad

Te seguiré queriendo cada día más

Te esperaré a que vuelvas

Si tú te vas
