[English]

I keep making mistakes over and over

and I can assure you

that the passing of years

doesn't stop me from stumbling again

nor does it make me break again

against another disappointment.

I'd return to my addictions

if I had to,

if it were necessary.

Falling into the same mistakes

if I had to,

if it were necessary.

And we let ourselves be carried away

but the inertia has run out

and time kept on racing.

Stay listening to this song

'cause I have to leave,

as the wind is changing.

I'd come back only for love

if I had to,

if it were necessary.

To make the same mistake again

if I had to,

if it were necessary.

A lit light,

the lost clarity,

I search in the middle of this darkness.

Signs of myself

sitting in this abyss

with which I usually stumble.

I can't lose anything,

since I come from nothing

and I only live temporarily.

I can't fall any lower,

since I come from failure

perhaps just being a survivor.

I always ask reason

and it answers maybe

it's thinking about it.

I'm going to ask the heart

that it has to leave,

they're tearing it away from me.

I'd go back to my addictions

if I had to,

if it were necessary.

Falling into the same mistakes

if I had to,

if it were necessary.

I'll look for wrongdoings to undo

and battles to fight

lost in advance.

I'll seek impossible things to achieve,

I don't mind failing

and trying again.

I'd do it again for love

if I had to,

if it were necessary.

To make the same mistake again

if I had to,

if it was necessary.

A lit light,

the lost clarity,

I search in the middle of this darkness.

Signs of myself

sitting in this abyss

with which I usually stumble.

I can't lose anything,

since I come from nothing

and I only live temporarily.

I can't fall any lower,

since I come from failure

perhaps just being a survivor.

I can't lose anything,

since I come from nothing

and I only live temporarily.

I can't fall any lower,

since I come from failure

perhaps just being a survivor.

[Spanish]

Me equivoco una y otra vez

y te puedo asegurar

que el paso de los años

no impide que vuelva a tropezar

ni que me vuelva a romper

contra otro desengaño.

Volvería a mis adicciones

si acaso fuera,

si fuera necesario.

Caer en los mismos errores

si acaso fuera,

si fuera necesario.

Y vamos dejándonos llevar

pero la inercia se acabó

y siguió corriendo el tiempo.

Quédate escuchando esta canción

que yo me tengo que marchar,

que está cambiando el viento.

Volvería solo por amor

si acaso fuera,

si fuera necesario.

Cometer de nuevo el mismo error

si acaso fuera,

si fuera necesario.

Una luz encendida,

la claridad perdida,

busco en medio de esta oscuridad.

Señales de mí mismo

sentado en este abismo

con el que me suelo tropezar.

No puedo perder nada,

que vengo de la nada

y solo vivo provisionalmente.

No puedo caer más bajo,

que vengo del fracaso

de acaso ser solo un superviviente.

Siempre le pregunto a la razón

y me contesta que tal vez

que se lo está pensando.

Voy a preguntarle al corazón

que se tiene que marchar,

me lo están arrancando.

Volvería a mis adicciones

si acaso fuera,

si fuera necesario.

Caer en los mismos errores

si acaso fuera,

si fuera necesario.

Buscaré entuertos que deshacer

y batallas que librar

perdidas de antemano.

Buscaré imposibles que lograr,

que no me importa fracasar

y volver a intentarlo.

Volvería a hacerlo por amor

si acaso fuera,

si fuera necesario.

Cometer de nuevo el mismo error

si acaso fuera,

si fuera necesario.

Una luz encendida,

la claridad perdida,

busco en medio de esta oscuridad.

Señales de mí mismo

sentado en este abismo

con el que me suelo tropezar.

No puedo perder nada,

que vengo de la nada

y solo vivo provisionalmente.

No puedo caer más bajo,

que vengo del fracaso

de acaso ser solo un superviviente.

No puedo perder nada,

que vengo de la nada

y solo vivo provisionalmente.

No puedo caer más bajo,

que vengo del fracaso

de acaso ser solo un superviviente.
