[English]

I need you to leave me alone,

It doesn't matter what people believe

About what you say about me,

They're stories you make up.

Just go away already,

I'll follow my own path,

With your vanity,

And I, on another planet,

Like parallel lines.

There’s nothing at all,

Nothing in our lives,

Nothing in common

Like night and day.

You in your shadowy half,

And me waiting for a spark of light.

I wish it were so easy to fix with a fight,

And you’d tell me to my face what you say about me,

The stories you invent.

There’s nothing at all,

Nothing in our lives,

Nothing in common

Like night and day.

You in your shadowy half,

And me waiting for a spark of light.

I need you to leave me alone, alone, alone...

Alone, alone, alone...

There’s nothing at all, nothing at all,

There’s nothing at all,

Nothing in our lives,

You in your shadowy half,

And me waiting for a spark of light.

...

[Spanish]

Necesito que me dejes en paz,

Da igual que la gente crea

Lo que cuentas sobre mi,

Son historias que te inventas.

Tu largate ya,

Que yo seguiré mi senda,

Tu con tu vanidad,

Y yo, en otro planeta,

Como lineas paralelas.

No hay nada de nada,

Nada de nuestras vidas,

Nada en común

Como la noche al día

Tu en la mitad sombría

Y yo esperando un resplandor

Ojala fuera tan fácil arreglarlo con una pelea

Y me dices a la cara lo que cuentas sobre mi

Las historias que te inventas

No hay nada de nada,

Nada de nuestras vidas,

Nada en común

Como la noche al día

Tu en la mitad sombría

Y yo esperando un resplandor

Necesito que me dejes en paz, en paz, en paz...

En paz, en paz, en paz...

No hay nada de nada, nada de nada,

No hay nada de nada,

Nada de nuestras vidas,

U en la mitad sombría

Y yo esperando un resplandor
