[English]

You're unjustly asking me to forget you

...

To turn around and leave you forever

You say he doesn’t deserve this punishment

That your love chose me and I don’t want to lose you

Listen to your heart, I ask you

Maybe you didn’t mean to hurt him

And you’re telling him lies about us both

What you don’t know is that just by looking at each other, it’s so easy to give ourselves away that we die for love

I won’t resign myself and I pray God forgives me

I will love you

Even if you’re not with me and don’t want to hear me

Even if you say you’ve changed and I have to forget you

I will keep looking for you, I’ll be unconditional

I will love you

Because I’m still in love and I’ve sworn to be faithful

Because you have to accept it, that you love me too

...

Because you’re thinking of me

Even if you’re with him now

...

And it’s Calibre 50, tiny one

What you don’t know is that just by looking at each other, it’s so easy to give ourselves away that we die for love

I won’t resign myself and I pray God forgives me

I will love you

Even if you’re not with me and don’t want to hear me

Even if you say you’ve changed and I have to forget you

I will keep looking for you, I’ll be unconditional

...

I will love you

Because I’m still in love and I’ve sworn to be faithful

Because you have to accept it, that you love me too

...

Because you’re thinking of me

...

I will love you

Even if you’re not with me and don’t want to hear me

Even if you say you’ve changed and I have to forget you

I will keep looking for you, I’ll be unconditional

...

I will love you

Because I’m still in love and I’ve sworn to be faithful

Because you have to accept it, that you love me too

Because you’re thinking of me

Even if you’re with him now

...

[Spanish]

Injustamente estás pidiendo que te olvide

Que dé la vuelta y te abandone para siempre

Dices que él, no se merece esté castigo

Que tu amor me haya elegido y que yo no quiera perderte

Hazle caso al corazón, yo te lo pido

Probablemente no has querido lastimarlo

Y estás diciéndole mentiras de los dos

Lo que no sabes, es que solo con mirarnos, es tan fácil delatarnos que morimos por amor

Yo no voy a resignarme y que me perdone Dios

Yo te amare

Aunque no estés a mi lado y no me quieras escuchar

Aunque digas que has cambiado y que te tengo que olvidar

Yo te seguiré buscando, te seré incondicional

Yo te amare

Porque sigo enamorado y he jurado serte fiel

Porque tienes que aceptarlo, que me amas tú también

Porque estás pensando en mí

Aunque ahora estés con él

Y es calibre 50, chiquitita

Lo que no sabes es que solo con mirarnos, es tan fácil delatarnos que morimos por amor

Yo no voy a resignarme y que me perdone Dios

Yo te amare

Aunque no estés a mi lado y no me quieras escuchar

Aunque digas que has cambiado y que te tengo que olvidar

Yo te seguiré buscando, te seré incondicional

Yo te amare

Porque sigo enamorado y he jurado serte fiel

Porque tienes que aceptarlo, que me amas tú también

Porque estás pensando en mí

Yo te amare

Aunque no estés a mi lado y no me quieras escuchar

Aunque digas que has cambiado y que te tengo que olvidar

Yo te seguiré buscando, te seré incondicional

Yo te amare

Porque sigo enamorado y he jurado serte fiel

Porque tienes que aceptarlo, que me amas tú también

Porque estás pensando en mí

Aunque ahora estés con él
