[English]

Everything was like a dream that passed,

the friendship, the magic between you and me.

That bond that never separated us

broke.

I fed any need

and even changed my personality

because of you.

I never understood and tried to explain to you

that for you I could give the sky,

for you.

How many times must I beg you to listen to me?

How many times must I kneel if you hurt me?

I listened so much to your “wise” mouth speak

that I realized you wouldn't change

for me.

How many times must I beg you to listen to me?

How many times must I kneel if you hurt me?

How many times have you seen me keep silent about our failure?

You've seen me cry so many times that I can't take it anymore.

I can't take it anymore!

I can't take it anymore!

that I can't take it anymore.

[Spanish]

Todo fue como un sueño que pasó,

la amistad, la magia entre tú y yo.

Esa unión que jamás nos separó

se rompió.

Alimenté cualquier necesidad

y hasta cambié mi personalidad

por ti.

Nunca entendí y te intenté explicar

que yo por ti el cielo pude dar,

por ti.

¿Cuántas veces te he de suplicar que me hagas caso?

¿Cuántas veces me he de arrodillar si me haces daño?

Tanto escuché tu "sabia" boca hablar

que comprendí que no ibas a cambiar

por mí.

¿Cuántas veces te he de suplicar que me hagas caso?

¿Cuántas veces me he de arrodillar si me haces daño?

¿cuántas veces me ha visto callar nuestro fracaso?

Tantas veces me has visto llorar que ya no puedo más.

¡Ya no puedo más!

¡Ya no puedo más!

que ya no puedo más.
