[English]

Stop it now, stop it now, stop it now

From acting

You only know how to pretend

I have to admit

You do it so well

To the point that I finally understood

And everything you think is going to come true

And everything you think is going to come true

And I would even be able to forget

To love

What I think of myself

I didn’t know how to recognize

What made me fall

To the point that I didn’t understand

And this time

I don’t believe anything from you anymore

On the contrary

Nothing was what I expected

I could see

How hard it was for you

I’ll let

It take us away

Oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh

Stop it now, stop it now, stop it now

From searching

There are no culprits here

I learned not to be faithful to you

As you kill, you die

Life is better without you

And this time

I don’t believe anything from you anymore

On the contrary

Nothing was what I expected

I could see

How hard it was for you

I’ll let

It take you away

Oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh

And everything you think is going to come true

And everything you think is going to come true

Oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh

[Spanish]

Para ya, para ya, para ya

De actuar

Solo sabes fingir

Tengo que reconocer

Que lo haces muy bien

Al grado que ya entendí

Y todo lo que piensas se va a cumplir

Y todo lo que piensas se va a cumplir

Y yo sería capaz de olvidar

Para amar

Lo que pienso de mí

No supe reconocer

Lo que me hizo caer

Al grado que no entendí

Y ésta vez

Ya no creo de ti nada

Al revés

Nada fue lo que esperaba

Pude ver

Lo mucho que te costaba

Dejaré

Que nos lleve la

Oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh

Para ya, para ya, para ya

De buscar

No hay culpables aquí

Aprendí a no serte fiel

Como matas, mueres

La vida es mejor sin ti

Y ésta vez

Ya no creo de ti nada

Al revés

Nada fue lo que esperaba

Pude ver

Lo mucho que te costaba

Dejaré

Que te lleve la

Oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh

Y todo lo que piensas se va a cumplir

Y todo lo que piensas se va a cumplir

Oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
