[English]

They don't hurt anymore

The wounds from the past don't come back

They're life's lessons and they make you strong

I'm making my path in the present

With a strong soul

In my life I have scars

They're signs of so many battles

A reflection of those sad days

That appear out of the blue

They say that after the storm

The calm always has to come

Don't come at me with more stories

Because I have an ace up my sleeve

They don't hurt anymore

The wounds from the past don't come back

They're life's lessons and they make you strong

I'm making my path in the present

With a strong soul

And after time has passed

I realized I'm not the same

When I remember you, I don't feel fear anymore

I feel that you gave me life

They say that after the storm

The calm always has to come

Don't come at me with more stories

Because I have an ace up my sleeve

They don't hurt anymore

The wounds from the past don't come back

They're life's lessons and they make you strong

I'm making my path in the present

...

You don't say anything anymore

After your betrayal, my heart doesn't feel

You stayed in oblivion and you don't come back

Those urges to love took flight

They don't hurt anymore

The wounds from the past don't come back

They're life's lessons and they make you strong

I'm making my path in the present

With a strong soul

They don't hurt anymore

The wounds from the past don't come back

They're life's lessons and they make you strong

I'm making my path in the present

With a strong soul

...

[Spanish]

Ya no duelen

Las heridas del pasado ya no vuelven

Son lecciones de la vida y te hacen fuerte

Voy haciendo mi camino en el presente

Con el alma fuerte

En mi vida tengo cicatrices

Son señales de tantas batallas

Un reflejo de esos días tristes

Que aparecen así de la nada

Dicen que después de la tormenta

Siempre tiene que llegar la calma

No me vengas con más historietas

Que yo tengo un as bajo la manga

Ya no duelen

Las heridas del pasado ya no vuelven

Son lecciones de la vida y te hacen fuerte

Voy haciendo mi camino en el presente

Con el alma fuerte

Y después de haber pasado el tiempo

Me di cuenta que no soy la misma

Al recordarte ya no siento miedo

Siento que tú me has dado la vida

Dicen que después de la tormenta

Siempre tiene que llegar la calma

No me vengas con más historietas

Que yo tengo un as bajo la manga

Ya no duelen

Las heridas del pasado ya no vuelven

Son lecciones de la vida y te hacen fuerte

Voy haciendo mi camino en el presente

Tú ya no digas nada

Después de tu traición, mi corazón no siente

Te quedaste en el olvío y ya no vuelve'

Esas ganas de amar se echaron a volar

Ya no duelen

Las heridas del pasado ya no vuelven

Son lecciones de la vida y te hacen fuerte

Voy haciendo mi camino en el presente

Con el alma fuerte

Ya no duelen

Las heridas del pasado ya no vuelven

Son lecciones de la vida, y te hacen fuerte

Voy haciendo mi camino en el presente

Con el alma fuerte
