[English]

If before running

To forget and disappear

Before speaking and hurting afterward

Falling and getting up

Why don't you walk beside me?

Hand in hand, just silently

Nothing, just being here is enough

Just looking at each other is enough

It's not for me

To live like this

Maybe it is for you

What will you decide?

If there are ten thousand ways to forget

To rescue ourselves and try

To always tell each other the truth

Why say no?

If there are ten thousand silences to forget

No secrets left to hide

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

There's no reason to say no

And I know very well that sometimes

Habit can be stronger than loneliness

Sometimes so much stubbornness

Trying to keep us apart

It's not for me

To live like this

Maybe it is for you

What will you decide?

If there are ten thousand ways to forget

To rescue ourselves and try

To always tell each other the truth

Why say no?

If there are ten thousand silences to avoid

No secrets left to hide

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

There's no reason to say no

Love hurts without remedy

If you let it go

And there's no reason to lose it

Let's stop lying

Time is running out

Slowly

If there are ten thousand ways to forget

To rescue ourselves and try

To always tell each other the truth

Why say no?

If there are ten thousand silences to avoid

No secrets left to hide

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

There's no reason to say no, oh oh ohh

[Spanish]

Si antes de correr

Olvidar y desaparecer

Antes de hablar y herir después

Caer y levantarnos

¿Por qué no caminas junto a mí?

De la mano solo sin decir

Nada, solo basta estar aquí

Suficiente con mirarnos

No es para mí

Vivir así

Tal vez si es para ti

¿Qué vas a decidir?

Si hay diez mil maneras de olvidar

De rescatarnos e intentar

Contarnos siempre la verdad

¿Por qué decir que no?

Si hay diez mil silencios que olvidar

Ningún secreto que ocultar

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

No hay porqué decir que no

Y sé muy bien que a veces puede más

La costumbre que la soledad

A veces tanta terquedad

Intenta separarnos

No es para mí

Vivir así

Tal vez si es para ti

¿Qué vas a decidir?

Si hay diez mil maneras de olvidar

De rescatarnos e intentar

Contarnos siempre la verdad

¿Por qué decir que no?

Si hay diez mil silencios que evitar

Ningún secreto que ocultar

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

No hay porqué decir que no

El amor duele sin remedio

Si lo dejas ir

Y no hay porqué perderlo

Dejemos de mentir

Está acabando el tiempo

Lentamente

Si hay diez mil maneras de olvidar

De rescatarnos e intentar

Contarnos siempre la verdad

¿Por qué decir que no?

Si hay diez mil silencios que evitar

Ningún secreto que ocultar

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

No hay porqué decir que no, oh oh ohh
