[English]
(Here it goes, Chente!)
For giving free rein - to my whims
For not being aware - of the same
That's why yesterday I made - her eyes cry
And today my eyes too - do the same
For not measuring the - steps I took
That's why I have - come to defeat
I betrayed - the one who loved me
And now I'm like this
With my broken soul
How's it going? How's it - feeling, my heart?
Now they really hit you
Betrayal is costly, costly, costly
And in the end, they made you pay
For giving free rein - to my whims
For not being aware - of the same
That's why yesterday I made - her eyes cry
And today my eyes too - do the same
How's it going? How's it - feeling, my heart?
Now they really hit you
Betrayal is costly, costly, costly
And in the end, they made you pay
For not measuring the - steps I took
That's why I have - come to defeat
I betrayed - the one who loved me
And now I'm like this
With my broken soul
