[English]

Leave me alone, the world is against me

I don’t know why this shadow keeps chasing me so much

Don’t look at me, don’t call me anymore

I already found out you’re talking behind my back

All my secrets are out now

I locked the door with three locks, ah

I’m ready for them to come find me

I’m not stupid, they want to medicate me

I’m right here

Come find me

I’m right here

Come find me

Leave me alone, the world is against me

They’ll find me anyway, no matter how much I hide

Don’t follow me, don’t laugh at me anymore

I think someone’s under my sheets

All my secrets are out now

I locked the door with four locks

I’m ready in case they come to kill me

I’m an idiot, how didn’t I know sooner?

Come find me

Come find me

Come find me

Come find me!

I’m right here

Come find me

I’m right here

Come find me

...

[Spanish]

Déjenme solo, el mundo está en mi contra

No sé por qué me persigue tanto esta sombra

No me miren, no me llamen más

Ya me enteré que están hablando a mis espaldas

Ya mis secretos todos los saben

Cerré la puerta con triple llave, ah

Toy preparado pa que vengan a buscarme

No soy boludo, ellos quieren medicarme

Acá estoy

Vengan a buscarme

Acá estoy

Vengan a buscarme

Déjenme solo, el mundo está en mi contra

Van a encontrarme igual, por mucho que me esconda

No me sigan, no se rían más

Creo que alguien anda abajo de mi sábana

Ya mis secretos todos los saben

Cerré la puerta con cuatro llaves

Toy preparado por si vienen a matarme

Soy un boludo, ¿cómo no lo supe antes?

Vengan a buscarme

Vengan a buscarme

Vengan a buscarme

¡Vengan a buscarme!

Acá estoy

Vengan a buscarme

Acá estoy

Vengan a buscarme
