[English]

Because no

You didn't know how to understand my heart

What was in it, because no

You didn't have the courage to see who I am

Because no

You don't listen to what is so close to you

Only the noise from outside and me

That I'm beside you, I disappear for you

I'm not going to cry and say

That I don't deserve this, because

It's likely that

I deserve it, but I don't want it, that's why I'm leaving

What a shame, but goodbye!

I say goodbye to you and I'm leaving

What a shame, but goodbye!

I say goodbye to you

...

Because I know

That something better awaits me

Someone who knows how to give me love

The kind that sweetens the salt and makes the sun come out

What did I think

I would never leave you, that it's love

The good kind, for a lifetime, but

Today I understood that there isn't enough for both of us

I'm not going to cry and say

That I don't deserve this, because

It's likely that

I deserve it, but I don't want it, that's why I'm leaving

What a shame, but goodbye!

I say goodbye to you and I'm leaving

What a shame, but goodbye!

I say goodbye to you

...

I'm leaving

What a shame, but goodbye!

I say goodbye to you and I'm leaving

What a shame, but goodbye!

I say goodbye to you and I'm leaving

What a shame, but goodbye!

I say goodbye to you and I'm leaving

What a shame, but goodbye!

I say goodbye to you and I'm leaving

...

[Spanish]

Porque no

Supiste entender a mi corazón

Lo que había en él, porque no

Tuviste el valor de ver quién soy

Porque no

Escuchas lo que está tan cerca de ti

Sólo el ruido de afuera y yo

Que estoy a un lado, desaparezco para ti

No voy a llorar y decir

Que no merezco esto, porque

Es probable que

Lo merezco, pero no lo quiero, por eso me voy

¡Qué lástima, pero adiós!

Me despido de ti y me voy

¡Qué lástima, pero adiós!

Me despido de ti

Porque sé

Que me espera algo mejor

Alguien que sepa darme amor

De ese que endulza la sal y hace que salga el sol

Yo qué pensé

Nunca me iría de ti, que es amor

Del bueno, de toda la vida, pero

Hoy entendí que no hay suficiente para los dos

No voy a llorar y decir

Que no merezco esto, porque

Es probable que

Lo merezco, pero no lo quiero, por eso me voy

¡Qué lástima, pero adiós!

Me despido de ti y me voy

¡Qué lástima, pero adiós!

Me despido de ti

Me voy

¡Qué lástima, pero adiós!

Me despido de ti y me voy

¡Qué lástima, pero adiós!

Me despido de ti y me voy

¡Qué lástima, pero adiós!

Me despido de ti y me voy

¡Qué lástima, pero adiós!

Me despido de ti y me voy
