[English]

No, no, no, no

No, no, no, no, no

No, no, no, no

How long could this last?, since we started

We felt the same and decided to believe

Piece by piece, less clothes, from night till dawn

The hours flew by, enough to understand

What does it matter if kissing you is so easy

I wanted to forget you, I didn't succeed, but almost

What does it matter if kissing you is so easy

I follow you on social media like a fan to my dad

And maybe we don't work, maybe we held hands

Maybe we left too early and wanted to stay longer

May none of this be in vain, when I tell you "I love you"

Without me saying it, I cheer you on, how will this end?

What does it matter if kissing you is so easy

I wanted to forget you, I didn't succeed, but almost

What does it matter if kissing you is so easy

I follow you on social media like a fan to my dad (almost)

Dare, come, get close, dancing, move your waist

Your body doesn't want me, I still have my doubts

I'm envious of you, if it's not with you, I want nothing

I want nothing, I want nothing

Venturing through your skin, you don't want me to stop (you don't want me to stop)

How does it sound to you that I have a trip around the city in mind today?

Your face says you're entertained, give it a chance

Who knows, maybe it will happen?, and, oh, it happens

And maybe we don't work, maybe we held hands

Maybe we left too early and wanted to stay longer

May none of this be in vain when I tell you "I love you"

Without me saying it, I cheer you on, how will this end?

What does it matter if (it matters if, more)

What does it matter if (venturing through your)

What does it matter if (envious of you, if it's not with you I want nothing)

What does it matter if (I want nothing, no)

Venturing through your skin, you don't want me to stop (you don't want me to stop)

How does it sound to you that I have a trip around the city in mind today?

Your face says you're entertained, give it a chance

Who knows, maybe it will happen?, and, oh, it happens

And maybe we don't work, maybe we held hands

Maybe we left too early and wanted to stay longer

May none of this be in vain, when I tell you "I love you"

Without me saying it, I cheer you on, how will this end?

And maybe we don't work, maybe we held hands

Maybe we left too early and wanted to stay longer

May none of this be in vain, when I tell you "I love you"

Without me saying it, I cheer you on, how will this end?

[Spanish]

No, no, no, no

No, no, no, no, no

No, no, no, no

¿Qué tanto podía durar?, si desde que empezamos

Lo mismo sentimos y decidimos creer

Parte por parte, menos ropa, de noche al amanecer

Las horas se hicieron cortas, suficientes pa entender

Qué más da si besarte es tan fácil

Quería olvidarte, no lo logré, pero casi

Qué más da si besarte es tan fácil

Te sigo en las redes como fan a papá

Y capaz no funcionamos, capaz nos dimos la mano

Capaz nos fuimos temprano y queríamos quedarnos más

Que nada de esto sea en vano, cuando te diga "te amo"

Sin que lo diga, te aclamo, ¿cómo esto va a terminar?

Qué más da si besarte es tan fácil

Quería olvidarte, no lo logré, pero casi

Qué más da si besarte es tan fácil

Te sigo en las redes como fan a papá (casi)

Atrévete, ven, pégate, bailando, pega tu cintura

Que tu cuerpo no me quiere, todavía tengo mis dudas

Enviciado de ti, si no es contigo no quiero nada

No quiero nada, no quiero nada

Aventurándome por tu piel, no quieres que pare (no quieres que pare)

Qué te parece que hoy tengo en mente una vuelta por la ciudad

Tu cara dice que te entretiene, date la oportunidad

¿Quién quita que se nos da?, y, ay, se nos da

Y capaz no funcionamos, capaz nos dimos la mano

Capaz nos fuimos temprano y queríamos quedarnos más

Que nada de esto sea en vano cuando te diga "te amo"

Sin que lo diga te aclamo, ¿cómo esto va a terminar?

Qué más da si (da si, más)

Qué más da si (aventurándome por tu)

Qué más da si (enviciado de ti, si no es contigo no quiero nada)

Qué más da si (no quiero nada, no)

Aventurándome por tu piel, no quieres que pare (no quieres que pare)

Qué te parece que hoy tengo en mente una vuelta por la ciudad

Tu cara dice que te entretiene, date la oportunidad

¿Quién quita que se nos da?, y, ay, se nos da

Y capaz no funcionamos, capaz nos dimos la mano

Capaz nos fuimos temprano y queríamos quedarnos más

Que nada de esto sea en vano, cuando te diga "te amo"

Sin que lo diga te aclamo, ¿cómo esto va a terminar?

Y capaz no funcionamos, capaz nos dimos la mano

Capaz nos fuimos temprano y queríamos quedarnos más

Que nada de esto sea en vano, cuando te diga "te amo"

Sin que lo diga te aclamo, ¿cómo esto va a terminar?

Key Grammar Structures

• ¿Qué tanto podía durar?, si desde que empezamos

  ➔ Subjunctive mood in indirect question, Past Perfect Subjunctive

  ➔ The phrase "¿Qué tanto podía durar?" uses the imperfect subjunctive ("podía") to express uncertainty about how long something *could* last. The "si" introduces a conditional clause. "Empezamos" is the preterite indicative, indicating a completed action in the past.

• Te sigo en las redes como fan a papá

  ➔ Indirect object pronoun, simile/comparison

  ➔ "Te" is an indirect object pronoun meaning "to you". The phrase uses a simile – following someone on social media *like* a fan follows their father – to convey a level of admiration or casual interest.

• Y capaz no funcionamos, capaz nos dimos la mano

  ➔ Repetition for emphasis, use of 'capaz' as an adverb/modal particle

  ➔ The repetition of "capaz" emphasizes the possibility or uncertainty. 'Capaz' functions here not as an adjective meaning 'capable', but as an adverb meaning 'maybe' or 'perhaps'. "Nos dimos la mano" is a reflexive verb construction meaning "we shook hands".
