[English]

Lately, everything reminds me of you, hey

And you feel the same, I know, I know

Beautiful memories in that suite

But if it were up to me, I’d meet you again

To change a couple of things, except those powders

Crazy on the balcony with Italy in the background

If the show ends, I’m chill, I’ll adapt

Even if there’s nothing and the roof is a tarp

Mom, I didn’t give you my heart

That was a theft

And if I see you with someone else

I’ll act like a fool

Baby, sorry it’s so late

It’s just that the pain doesn’t get better

I’ve tried meditating, but to forget your kisses, I need drugs

My treasure, my lady (lady)

The one who unravels me (unravels me)

And at the same time, she calms me just by saying “hello”

Let’s try again, please, baby, even if it doesn’t last

I don’t want to look for you elsewhere or buy Durex

When I see you, it shows no matter how much I hide

Having you close makes my mind strip bare

Witchcraft, baby, you’ve cast spells on me

Without me, you look sad and bored

Come back close again to give you joy

Remember how it used to feel

Mom, I didn’t give you my heart

That was a theft

And if I see you with someone else, I’ll act like a fool

Baby, sorry it’s so late

It’s just that the pain doesn’t get better

I’ve tried meditating, but to forget your kisses, I need drugs

My treasure, my lady (lady)

The one who unravels me (unravels me)

And at the same time, she calms me just by saying “hello”

I signed the contract without reading the fine print

You saw me on fire and added more wood

My soul is still yours, it only has one owner

I see you forget quickly, how about you teach me?

Baby, because of you, all I have is heartbreak songs

This one I made for you so you can sing it with your hand on your chest

I’m addicted to you, I’m never satisfied

You left without saying goodbye, that was a headshot

I don’t know why I keep writing to you

But sorry it’s so late

It’s just that the pain doesn’t get better

I’ve tried meditating, but to forget your kisses, I need drugs

My treasure, my lady

The one who unravels me

And at the same time

She calms me just by saying “hello”

I’ve tried meditating, but to forget your kisses, I need drugs

I’ve tried meditating, but to forget your kisses, I need drugs

I’ve tried meditating, but to forget your kisses, I need drugs

I’ve tried meditating, but to forget your kisses, I need drugs

I’ve tried meditating

[Spanish]

Últimamente, todo me acuerda a ti, eh

Y a ti te pasa igual, lo sé, lo sé

Bonitos recuerdos en aquella suite

Pero si fuera por mí, te vuelvo a conocer

Para cambiar par de cosas, menos esos polvos

Bien loco en el balcón con Italia de fondo

Si se acaba el show, yo tranqui, yo me amoldo

Así no haya nada y el techo sea un toldo

Ma, yo no te di mi corazón

Eso fue un robo

Y si te veo con otro

Voy a formar un bobo

Bebé, perdona la hora

Es que el dolor no mejora

Ya he intеntao meditar, pero pa olvidar tus besos sе necesita droga

Mi tesoro, mi señora (señora)

La que me descontrola (descontrola)

Y a la misma vez, me calma solamente con decirme "hola"

Intentémoslo otra vez, porfa, mami, aunque no dure

No quiero buscarte en otras ni tener que comprar Durex

Te veo y se me nota por más que disimule

Tenerte cerquita hace que mi mente se desnude

Brujería, mami, tú me hiciste brujería

Sin mí te ves triste y aburrida

Acércate de nuevo pa darte una alegría

Acuérdate de lo que se sentía

Ma, yo no te di mi corazón

Eso fue un robo

Y si te veo con otro, voy a formar un bobo

Bebé, perdona la hora

Es que el dolor no mejora

He intеntao meditar, pero pa olvidar tus besos sе necesita droga

Mi tesoro, mi señora (señora)

La que me descontrola (descontrola)

Y a la misma vez, me calma solamente con decirme "hola"

Firmé el contrato sin leer las letras pequeña'

Me viste prendido en fuego y le echaste más leña

Mi alma sigue siendo tuya, solo tiene una dueña

Ya veo que olvidas rápido, ¿Qué tal si me enseñas?

Mami, por tu culpa solo salen letras de despecho

Esta te la hice pa que la cantes con la mano en el pecho

Toy adicto a ti, nunca estoy satisfecho

Te fuiste sin despedirte, eso sí que fue un headshot

Yo no sé por qué carajo te vuelvo a escribir

Pero perdona la hora

Es que el dolor no mejora

Ya he intentao meditar, pero pa olvidar tus besos se necesita droga

Mi tesoro, mi señora

La que me descontrola

Y a la misma vez

Me calma solamente con decirme "hola"

He intentao meditar, pero pa olvidar tus besos se necesita droga

He intentao meditar, pero pa olvidar tus besos se necesita droga

He intentao meditar, pero pa olvidar tus besos se necesita droga

He intentao meditar, pero pa olvidar tus besos se necesita droga

He intentao meditar
