Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

Quisiera volver al día en que nos conocimos

I wish I could go back to the day we met

Pa no ir

So I wouldn't go

...

...

Quisiera un botón para apagar los sentimientos

I wish I had a button to turn off feelings

Y no sufrir tanto

And not suffer so much

Ya no sufrir tanto

Not suffer so much anymore

¿Por qué será

Why is it

Que cuando quiero querer, conmigo quieren jugar?

That when I want to love, they want to play with me?

Cuando algo quiero tener y me empiezo a ilusionar

When I want to have something and I start to get excited

Termina siendo un fracaso

It ends up being a failure

Otro amor que se me rompe en pedazos

Another love that breaks into pieces

Pensándolo bien

Thinking about it

Yo nací pa querer

I was born to love

A la que no me quiere

The one who doesn't love me

Y eso duele

And that hurts

¿Por qué será

Why is it

Que cuando quiero querer, conmigo quieren jugar?

That when I want to love, they want to play with me?

Cuando algo quiero tener y me empiezo a ilusionar

Termina siendo un fracaso

Otro amor que se me rompe en pedazos

Another love that breaks into pieces

Pensándolo bien

Thinking about it

Yo nací pa querer

I was born to love

A la que no me quiere

The one who doesn't love me

Y eso duele

And that hurts

En tu corazón yo ando sobrando?

Am I superfluous in your heart?
