[English]

You can see me

In my pupils, it can't be hidden

The loneliness that has been gathering

I can't lie to your gaze

I was a woman

Who walked between life and death

In love, I never had luck

Before you, I exhausted all my tears

After so many mistakes

I got used to the pain

Before you

I didn't know love

I was alone and sad like this song

I wandered the dark side of the moon

Before you

I didn't know love

For every star, a disappointment

There was nothing

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Before you, my love

...

You can see me

Clearly, now I am transparent

It was worth everything, everything to meet you

To forget, I learned it with you

And I was leaving behind

All the storm

Before you

I didn't know love

I was alone and sad like this song

I wandered the dark side of the moon

Before you

I didn't know love

For every star, a disappointment

There was nothing

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Before you, my love

...

[Spanish]

Me puedes ver

En mis pupilas no se puede esconder

La soledad que han ido recogiendo

A tu mirada no le puedo mentir

Fui una mujer

Que caminaba entre la vida y la muerte

En el amor, yo nunca tuve suerte

Antes de ti agoté todas mis lágrimas

Después de tanto error

Me acostumbré al dolor

Antes de ti

Yo no conocía el amor

Estaba sola y triste como esta canción

Transitaba el lado oscuro de la luna

Antes de ti

Yo no conocía el amor

Por cada estrella una decepción

No había nada

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Antes de ti, mi amor

Me puedes ver

Con claridad, ahora soy transparente

Valió la pena todo, todo el conocerte

A olvidar, contigo lo aprendí

Y fui dejando atrás

Toda la tempestad

Antes de ti

Yo no conocía el amor

Estaba sola y triste como esta canción

Transitaba el lado oscuro de la luna

Antes de ti

Yo no conocía el amor

Por cada estrella, una decepción

No había nada

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Antes de ti, mi amor
