[English]

You fill everything now, I am nothing to you

And I'm going to leave you, at last you are happy

You won't even notice

I am a pain you've never felt

I am a love that forced its way in

I'm just a side act, and that's why I'm leaving

I won't suffer your haughtiness, even if you can live with the world at your feet

If you see my greatest love as something so small

You belittle me, and that is my anger

And if you don't like what I have to offer, goodbye

Because somehow, I will continue my journey

...

You belittle me, and that is my anger

And if you don't like what I have to offer, goodbye

Because somehow, I will continue my journey

...

[Spanish]

Ya todo lo llenas tú, ya no soy nada en ti

Y te voy a dejar, al fin eres feliz

Ni lo vas a notar

Soy dolor que nunca te ha dolido

Soy amor que a fuerza se ha metido

Soy una simple comparsa y por eso me voy

No sufriré tu altivez aunque puedas vivir con el mundo a tus pies

Si mi más grande amor tan pequeño lo vez

Me haces menos y ese es mi coraje

Y si no te gusta lo que traje adiós

Que de algún modo seguiré mi viaje

Me haces menos y ese es mi coraje

Y si no te gusta lo que traje adiós

Que de algún modo seguiré mi viaje
