[English]

Mmm

Don’t feel bad

Anyway, it was obvious

That Cupid made a mistake

That you no longer feel anything

I don’t know which of us failed

In your word

That you lied in front of the altar

Look at that, what a beauty

It’s clear you’re seeing someone else

In your eyes

Where do I sign? I’ll give you your freedom

How can I explain I don’t want to hear it anymore?

That I’m not making you happy

That you’re definitely leaving

It seems our love

Has come to an end

There’s no point in going on

That you really want to leave

You have a better option

Good for you

Oh, little one, uh

...

Where do I sign? I’ll give you your freedom

How can I explain I don’t want to hear it anymore?

That I’m not making you happy

That you’re definitely leaving

It seems our love

Has come to an end

There’s no point in going on

That you really want to leave

You have a better option

Good for you

It’s over

It was obvious

...

[Spanish]

Mmh

No te sientas mal

Igual, se veía venir

Que Cupido se equivocó

Que ya no sientes nada

No sé quién de los dos faltó

A su palabra

Que mentiste frente al altar

Ve nomás, qué chulada

Se te nota que hay alguien más

En tu mirada

¿En dónde firmo?, te daré tu libertad

¿Cómo te explico que ya no quiero escuchar?

Que conmigo no eres feliz

Que de plano te quieres ir

Tal parece que nuestro amor

Llegó a su fin

Que no tiene caso seguir

Que de plano te quieres ir

Tienes una mejor opción

Me alegro por ti

Ay, chiquitita, uh

¿En dónde firmo?, te daré tu libertad

¿Cómo te explico que ya no quiero escuchar?

Que conmigo no eres feliz

Que de plano te quieres ir

Tal parece que nuestro amor

Llegó a su fin

Que no tiene caso seguir

Que de plano te quieres ir

Tienes una mejor opción

Me alegro por ti

Se terminó

Se veía venir
