[English]

Sit with me here

Sit down, I want to talk to you

It's clear what happened

It's that I stopped loving you

A long time without knowing

What is it that you wanted

But I knew within me

What it is that I wanted

Nothing, nothing will ever be as it was

Pure illusions without knowing

How much longer to understand

That this was yesterday...

I waited for you a long time

And I'm still sitting here

Time passes and my song

No longer sounds like yesterday

I'm withering away

If I keep thinking this way

If I stop my heart

For what I already gave you

Nothing, nothing will ever be as it was

Pure illusions without knowing

How much longer to understand

That this was yesterday...

...

Nothing, nothing will ever be as it was

Pure illusions without knowing

How much longer to understand

That this was yesterday...

Nothing, nothing will ever be as it was

Pure illusions without knowing

How much longer to understand

That this was yesterday...

Nothing, nothing will ever be as it was

Pure illusions without knowing

How much longer to understand

That this was yesterday...

Nothing, nothing will ever be as it was

Pure illusions without knowing

How much longer to understand

That this was yesterday...

...

[Spanish]

Siéntate conmigo aquí

Siéntate te quiero hablar

Es claro lo que pasó

Es que te dejé de amar

Mucho tiempo sin saber

Qué es lo que querías vos

Pero yo sabía en mí

Qué es lo que quería yo

Nada, nada volverá a ser lo que fué

Puras ilusiones sin saber

Cuanto tiempo más para entender

Que esto fué ayer...

Mucho tiempo te esperé

Y sigo sentado aquí

Pasa el tiempo y mi canción

Ya no suena como ayer

Marchitándome estoy

Si sigo pensando así

Si detengo al corazón

Por lo que ya yo te dí

Nada, nada volverá a ser lo que fué

Puras ilusiones sin saber

Cuanto tiempo más para entender

Que esto fué ayer...

Nada, nada volverá a ser lo que fué

Puras ilusiones sin saber

Cuanto tiempo más para entender

Que esto fué ayer...

Nada, nada volverá a ser lo que fué

Puras ilusiones sin saber

Cuanto tiempo más para entender

Que esto fué ayer...

Nada, nada volverá a ser lo que fué

Puras ilusiones sin saber

Cuanto tiempo más para entender

Que esto fué ayer...

Nada, nada volverá a ser lo que fué

Puras ilusiones sin saber

Cuanto tiempo más para entender

Que esto fué ayer...
